What type of vehicle does CV refer to?

The term "CV" is commonly understood to refer to "Commercial Vehicle." This classification typically encompasses a wide range of vehicles designed for transporting goods or passengers in commerce, including trucks, buses, and vans that exceed certain weight thresholds as defined by transportation regulations. Understanding this term is crucial, especially in the context of law enforcement and traffic regulations, as the handling and operational guidelines for these vehicles can be significantly different from non-commercial vehicles.

Recognizing the distinction between vehicle types such as "commercial vehicle" and "convertible" is important, as other terms like convertible refer to passenger vehicles with a roof that can be retracted or removed, and do not pertain to the focus of regulatory issues often handled by the Florida Highway Patrol. "Combat vehicle" refers to military vehicles used in warfare, which is unrelated to highway patrol duties. Similarly, while a "control vehicle" could refer to specialized vehicles used in certain law enforcement or operational contexts, it does not match the standard definition associated with CV in traffic and transportation discussions.
