Then what would a proper classification look like?

According to tagstat:
Tag             Usage
vehicle         22618
motor_vehicle   42743
motorcar       209720
car              1475
bus             42842
hgv             45609
goods           16948

To properly represent German law (sign 251 "cars and other multiple tracked vehicles not allowed") we need a tag for all two-tracked vehicles (currently "motorcar"), plus we need tag specifically for just cars.

Redefining the meaing of "motorcar" is sure to cause a lot of confusion.

Does anyone have a copy of ISO 3833:1977 handy and could enlighten us what the standard defines as a term for all multitrack vehicles, if any?
