Поширена помилка:
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.
Синоніми
driver (More common and general; can be used for any person driving, while "motorist" is often used in traffic reports, news, and legal or safety contexts.)
Антоніми
pedestrian (A pedestrian is a person walking on or near a road, not driving a vehicle, so it contrasts with a motorist as a different type of road user.)
