Hand-propelled vehicles: definition

Hand-propelled vehicles are vehicles that move using human physical force without the use of an engine. This category includes both vehicles that are pushed or pulled by a person walking and those operated directly by the driver's muscular effort.

These vehicles are typically used to transport goods or objects over short distances, such as handcarts or similar equipment. Their main characteristic is that movement is entirely generated by human effort.

For the theory exam, it is important to understand that hand-propelled vehicles are considered vehicles under the highway code, even though they are not motorized, and must follow the relevant traffic rules.
