1. A motor vehicle or vehicle combination with a declared gross weight of more than twenty-six thousand pounds, excluding a motor vehicle designed for carrying sixteen or more passengers, including the driver. For the purposes of this paragraph, " declared gross weight" and " vehicle combination" have the same meaning prescribed in section 28-5431.
