Description
Special classification of motor vehicles is granted to certain
types of vehicles that serve a particular purpose and that usually
do not operate on a public road.
A trailer or tractor is exempted from licensing fees if the owner
of the vehicle is a bona fide farmer and the vehicle is used solely
in connection with such farmer’s own farming activities. The same
applies if the vehicle is adapted, rebuilt or changed to be used
solely for racing purposes and/or exhibition.
