Motor Vehicle

OPINION 47-187 August 21, 1947 (OPINION) MOTOR VEHICLE RE: Definition of Re: Section 57-4201 of the North Dakota Revised Code of 1943 Your letter of August 20 referring to Chapter 262, Section 1 of the 1943 Session Laws has been received and referred to my desk. This chapter is now Section 57-4201 of the North Dakota Revised Code of 1943. It is my opinion that the term "motor vehicle" found in the third line of subdivision 2 of the above section means and includes any and all vehicles of every kind or nature which are actually propelled by internal combustion engines. It is, therefore, naturally concluded that rubber tired motor grader patrols actually propelled by internal combustion engines and not hauled by a vehicle so propelled are motor vehicles and caterpillar track type tractors are also motor vehicles.
