So... motorized wheelchairs are vehicles?

The test prohibits vehicles, not specifically automobiles, but basically everyone interprets the rule to only apply to automobiles.

Are motorized wheelchairs vehicles?

> a thing used for transporting people or goods, especially on land, such as a car, truck, or cart

I’d say yes

Yes. But that doesn't make the rule just and doesn't mean it would be enforced.

Definitely. Just because they break the nominal rule doesn't obligate me to throw them out of the park. I wouldn't stop the ambulance either, but it's definitely breaking the rule.
