Multi-lane motor vehicle
A multi-lane motor vehicle in the sense of road traffic law is a land vehicle with its own drive, which leaves several tracks of its tires next to each other when viewed from above. This type has at least 2 axles and 3 tires.
These include, for example:
- most passenger cars , trucks, and buses
- all tricycles like trikes
- all ATVs
- Steamrollers
Motorcycles with sidecars, on the other hand, are not multi-track motor vehicles because the rear wheels are not connected to an axle.
In contrast to single-lane vehicles (wheels in one lane), multi- lane motor vehicles have to observe different traffic regulations (e.g. overtaking ) and other licensing requirements; Furthermore, special driving license regulations apply (depending on the total weight and trailers).
