A vehicle (Latin: vehiculum) is a device that is designed or used to transport people or cargo. Most often vehicles are manufactured (e.g. bicycles, cars, motorcycles, trains, ships, boats, and aircraft).

Vehicles that do not travel on land often are called craft, such as watercraft, sailcraft, aircraft, hovercraft, and spacecraft

Land vehicles are classified broadly by what is used to apply steering and drive forces against the ground: wheeled, tracked, railed, or skied.

Legal definitions

As part of laws regulating road traffic most jurisdictions define what is and is not a vehicle for legal purposes. For instance the Canadian province of Ontario is fairly typical in defining:

"vehicle" includes a motor vehicle, trailer, traction engine, farm tractor, road-building machine, bicycle and any vehicle drawn, propelled or driven by any kind of power, including muscular power, but does not include a motorized snow vehicle or a street car

How synchronisation is done in frontwheal drive vehicles if there is no differential ?
Q. If differential is there then where is it found in the vehicles?

A. They not have a Transmission. It called a Transaxle and the sync, happens with Gears. I had to think of easy way to explain; With Rear Wheel Drives the distance from the turning wheels and the drive wheels caused a problem with Turning. On a left turn the left rear wheel turns less than the right rear wheel. So, they designed a Limited Slip Differential that use a Clutch system to allow the left/right to sync in a turn. If, you remove the back plate on a rear wheel brive you can see the Springs and clutches (Positrac not have this). On a Front wheel drive the Drive and Turn wheels are positioned so that it Acts more like a Positrac. BUT, if a CV joint breaks on one side you can possibly lose the ability for the Car to pull, it depends a… [cont.]

How did yellow become the standard color for construction vehicles?
Q. Most vehicles I see on a construction site are yellow. However, how did this color get chosen?

A. Easily seen, day or night--and it's a color easily caught by the human eye, even in foul weather. Bright colors tend to attract our attention more.

What is the top speed of current California Highway Patrol vehicles?
Q. Standard Cruiser, Motorcycle, and fast versions (Camero or Firebird I think)... I can't locate this information on the internet! I think it should be there... Please keep in mind that these vehicles have upgrades so the stock factory editions wouldn't in fact be the top speed.
