motor adj 2 a: equipped with or driven by a motor b: of, relating to, or involving an automobile c: designed for motor vehicles or motorists Webster\'s

Without \"ground,\" the word motor modifies vehicle, watercraft and aircraft.

When I originally went to post my translation, I left the word \"ground\" out because so much of what I read used \"motor vehicle\" to refer to motorized land vehicles and I just didn\'t think that it was needed. \"Motor vehicles, aircraft, or watercraft\" seemed to be standard terminology but I thought I would be criticized for leaving the ground or land out so I stuck it in without thinking that it would mess up the grammar.

I didn\'t get as many hits off \"motorized vehicle\" with \"insurance\" as I did \"motor vehicle\" with insurance but, it is certainly used.
Peer comment(s):

agree Tom Bishop : "Motorized" seems to nicely cover both vehicles and craft and "craft" sounds far more appropriate than "vehicles" for latter items.
