Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes. According to the General Vehicle Regulations, an automobile is defined as a motor vehicle used for the transport of persons or goods, or for towing other vehicles for that purpose. Motorcycles meet this definition and are, therefore, automobiles. It is crucial to differentiate: Motorcycle: It is a motor vehicle and is an automobile. Moped (Ciclomotor): Although it has an engine, legally it is not considered a 'motor vehicle' nor an automobile. The answer regarding engine displacement (125 cc) is incorrect because any motorcycle, regardless of its power, is an automobile.
