This chapter defines "Federal Government" and "motor vehicle" for use throughout it. "Federal Government" includes the government of the District of Columbia. "Motor vehicle" means a powered vehicle for carrying passengers on highways, except military training, combat, or tactical vehicles.
This section is one undivided provision that lists two definitions used throughout the chapter.
(1) Federal Government: This section says the term "Federal Government" includes the government of the District of Columbia. That means, wherever this chapter refers to the Federal Government, it also covers D.C.'s government.
(2) Motor vehicle: This section defines "motor vehicle" as a vehicle that either moves under its own power or is pulled by mechanical power, and is designed mainly to carry passengers on highways. The definition has one exception: it does not include a vehicle that is designed or used for military field training, combat, or tactical purposes.
In this chapter, the following definitions apply:
The term “Federal Government” includes the government of the District of Columbia.
