Finnish term or phrase: ajolaite
Trying to find what the words "Hyväksytyt ajolaitteet" refer to in Finnish driver's license. It is in the "Erityisehdot" section. Which word to use in American English?

operating equipment
Explanation:
TraFi seems to use the term "Approved operating equipment", so at least that might give you a basis to search for a more locally accepted term.

Explanation:
Uskoisin että termi jota etsit on vehicle joka tulee latinan kielestä ja sanasta "vehiculum"
Vehicle is a device that is designed or used to transport people or cargo. Most often vehicles are manufactured, such as bicycles, cars, motorcycles, trains, ships, boats, and aircraft.
Land vehicles are classified broadly by what is used to apply steering and drive forces against the ground: wheeled, tracked, railed, or skied. ISO 3833- 1977 is the standard, also internationally used in legislation, for road vehicles types, terms and definitions

agree  Timo Lehtilä: Yes, I found that also, but was slow to answer. Maybe '(Approved) facilitating equipment’ might work also.
