Erro comum:
Learners sometimes think "motorist" means any person using the road, but it refers only to people driving motor vehicles, not to cyclists or pedestrians. Many learners also overuse "motorist" in everyday speech; in casual conversation, "driver" is usually more natural, while "motorist" is more common in news reports, official advice, and written rules.
