If you already understand that traffic regulation is only commercial, then the difference between
motor vehicle and
vehicle in the
Colorado Revised Statutes explains it quite clearly. It behooves one to break down the definition's other references and know the difference between
common carrier and
commercial carrier.

Start with Hendrick v. Maryland (1915) 235 U.S. 610. "The movement of motor vehicles over the highways is attended by constant and serious dangers to the public. .... [Each] state may rightfully prescribe uniform regulations necessary to public safety and other in respect to the operation upon its highways of all moter vehicles -- those moving in interstate commerce as well as others."

However you cannot string the entire argument together well enough to convince a jury within the scope of the CRS definitions. And when you resort to other law dictionaries the judge will uphold the prosecutor's objection. So the point is rather moot unless you are very eloquent in front of a box of sheeple.
