Vehicles are non-living means of transport. They are most often man-made (cars, motorcycles, trains, ships, aircraft), but also non-man-made means for transport can be called vehicles, including icebergs and floating tree trunks. Vehicles may be motored by animals, e.g. a chariot, or an ox-cart. However, animals on their own, though used as means of transport, are not called vehicles. This includes humans carrying another human, for example a child or a disabled person. Movement without the help of a vehicle or an animal is called locomotion. The word itself comes from the Latin vehiculum. For other article subjects named transport see transport (disambiguation). ...

If an excise bill is received for a vehicle or trailer which has been sold, the seller must return the plate(s) to the Registry of MotorVehicles, get a return plate receipt, and file an application for abatement together with the return plate receipt and the bill of sale with the Board of Assessors.
The bill on the trade-in vehicle is prorated back to the last day of the month prior to the one in which the vehicle’s registration was cancelled and the excise bill on the new vehicle will be prorated as of the beginning of the month in which the vehicle was registered.
Falsely reporting the theft of a motorvehicle or trailer will result in severe penalties and a person may be charged up to three times the excise due on the vehicle for an entire year.
