A motor vehicle is a vehicle whose propulsion is provided by an engine (or "motor") or other mechanically propelled system which is carried on the vehicle. The internal combustion engine is the most common motor choice, although electric motors or other types are sometimes used. Motor vehicles or road vehicles typically run on public roads. The rules of the road are laws or practices which all road users must obey; many relate specifically to motor vehicles or subtypes of them. Some common types of motor vehicle:
- an automobile (usually known as a car in Britain, from a legal term motorised carriage)
- a truck (commonly called a lorry in Britain, - until about 1911 a railway term from load bearer)
- a bus
- a motorcycle
- a motorized bicycle (generally a moped in Britain from a legal term motorised pedal cycle)
In the United States, a motor vehicle is "a vehicle, not run on rails, that is designed to be self propelled or propelled by electric power obtained from overhead trolley wires, but does not include a motor assisted cycle."[citation needed]

Q. In court cases for motor vehicle infractions, the usual procedure is to plead for a higher dollar penalty, but not receive points on your license. Someone has told me that the state enacted a law that limits the pleading to only twice.

A. Hey - Yes, that is true, you can only plead to 'unsafe driving' (a no point ticket with higher fines) twice in a limited time period. And, if you get a third ticket after that, you can end up w/ the points from the ones you plead back - drive carefully!
