1988; (2) “a motor car” means a mechanically propelled vehicle (not being a motorcycle
or a bus) which is constructed solely for the carriage of two or more persons and
their effects; (3) “goods vehicle” means a mechanically propelled vehicle constructed
or adopted for use for the carriage of goods or burden of any description; (4) “trailer”
means a vehicle drawn by another vehicle; references to the “maximum weight” of a
vehicle are references to the total laden weight which must not be exceeded in any
case of that vehicle if it is to be used in Great Britain without contravening any
regulation for the time being in force or treated as being in force under section
41 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 (Construction and Use Regulations); (5) “bus”, “small
bus” and “large bus” have the same meanings as in section 19 of the Transport Act
1985; (6) “motor caravan” has the same meaning as in regulation 3(2) of the Road Vehicles
