Usage Note

Automovilista is a common-gender noun — the same form serves for male and female: el automovilista, la automovilista. The seed gender field is blank for this reason; it takes its gender from the article. It refers to a car driver generally, and is more formal than conductor (driver) or chofer.

Examples

"Los automovilistas deben respetar los límites de velocidad."

Natural Translation

Motorists must respect speed limits.
