I think trying to define this as different from an "automobile" is confusing. Have a look at Wikipedia for example, which says they are different terms for the same thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile I think your definition of motorcar (category: motor vehicles with more than 2 wheels / more than 1 track) is confusing / wrong.
goods/ hgv / psv / hazmat etc should be in the hierarchy directly below "motor vehicle", not below "motorcar". > BTW what is a hov? > I assume it's "high occupancy vehicle", ie a vehicle with more than a certain number of passengers in it. In some places they are allowed to use bus lanes etc. I'd agree with most of the rest of your changes on that page.
