Which statement defines a Commercial Motor Vehicle?

• A. Only vehicles used for passenger transport on public roads.
• B. Any motor vehicle used on a traffic way for the transportation of goods, property, people.
• C. Rail vehicles used on rails.
• D. Vehicles used exclusively on water.

Answer: (B)

A Commercial Motor Vehicle is defined by its use on public roads to move goods, property, or people in the course of a business. The statement that captures this best says any motor vehicle used on a traffic way for the transportation of goods, property, people, which covers cargo and passenger transport for commerce. It’s broad enough to include trucks, vans, and other road vehicles used in commerce, not limited to just passenger transport or to non-road settings. The other options are too narrow (focusing only on passengers) or describe vehicles not operating on roadways (rail or water), so they don’t fit the definition.
