ROAD TRAFFIC ACT (CHAPTER 276)

 

Classification of motor vehicles

4. —(1) For the purposes of this Act, motor vehicles shall be divided into the following classes:

 

(a) heavy locomotives; that is to say, motor vehicles which are not constructed themselves to carry any load (other than water, fuel, accumulators and other equipment and materials used for the purpose of propulsion, loose tools and loose equipment) and the weight of which unladen exceeds 11,500 kilograms;

 

(b) light locomotives; that is to say, motor vehicles which are not constructed themselves to carry any load (other than any of the articles specified in paragraph (a)) and the weight of which unladen does not exceed 11,500 kilograms but exceeds 7,250 kilograms;

 

© motor tractors; that is to say, motor vehicles which are not constructed themselves to carry any load (other than any of the articles specified in paragraph (a)) and the weight of which unladen does not exceed 7,250 kilograms;

 

(d) heavy motor cars; that is to say, motor vehicles (not being vehicles classified under this section as motor cars) which are constructed themselves to carry a load or passengers and the weight of which unladen exceeds 2,500 kilograms;

 

(e) motor cars; that is to say, motor vehicles (not being vehicles classified under this section as motor cycles) which are constructed themselves to carry a load or passengers and the weight of which unladen —

 

(i) does not exceed 3,000 kilograms in the case of motor vehicles which are —

 

(A) constructed solely for the carriage of passengers and their effects;

 

(B) adapted to carry not more than 7 passengers exclusive of the driver; and

 

© fitted with tyres of the prescribed type; and

 

(ii) in any other case does not exceed 2,500 kilograms;

(g) invalid carriages; that is to say, motor vehicles which are specially designed and constructed and not merely adapted for the use of persons suffering from some physical defect or disability and are used solely by such persons and the weight of which unladen does not exceed 250 kilograms.

 

(2) The Authority may make rules for subdividing any such class as aforesaid whether according to weight, construction, nature of tyres, use or otherwise and making different provision with respect to each subdivision and varying in respect of any class the maximum or minimum weight fixed by this section.

[28/95]

 

(3) Any reference in this Part to a class of motor vehicles shall include a reference to any subdivision of such a class.

 

(4) For the purposes of this Part —

 

(a) in any case where a motor vehicle is so constructed that a trailer may by partial superimposition be attached to the vehicle in such manner as to cause a substantial part of the weight of the trailer to be borne by the vehicle, that vehicle shall be deemed to be a vehicle itself constructed to carry a load;

 

(b) in the case of a motor vehicle fitted with a crane, dynamo, welding plant or other special appliance or apparatus which is a permanent or essentially permanent fixture, the appliance or apparatus shall not be deemed to constitute a load but shall be deemed to form part of the vehicle; and

 

© a side-car attached to a motor cycle shall, if it complies with the prescribed conditions, be regarded as forming part of the vehicle to which it is attached and not as being a trailer.

always take the lowest allowed jus like max spd on van may be 70 but will be 50 on small roads...

so best is to check the car itself is meant for/ allowed for how many people

 

some can hold more like MPVs compared to normal sedan...

No. of seat belts = No. of persons that can carry
