  • Private cars: four wheel vehicle destined to the transport of travellers with maximum capacity of nine people, included the driver.
  • Motorcycles: two wheel vehicle, with or without sidecar, understand it as the passenger compartment laterally to the motorcycle. Included also the cars for disabled people.
  • Industrial vehicles: vehicle capacitated to drag a semi-trailer, without taking into account the farming tractors.
