The above list is intended as a guide. Offenses of comparable seriousness should be treated as non-minor misdemeanors. In doubtful cases, the following rule should be applied: if the maximum confinement under local law exceeds four months but does not exceed one year, the offense should be treated as non-minor misdemeanor.

These motor vehicle offenses, and offenses of comparable nature comprise the familiar case of taking or withholding a motor vehicle wihtout authority and with intent to temporarily deprive the owner of his or her property. These aren't offenses where the offender intended permanently to deprive the owner of the motor vehicle. Offenses of the latter nature are included in grand larceny or embezzlement involving a value of over $500, listed in Chart D, Felonies. Some of these may be treated as a Chart B offense if offense didn't involve drugs, alcohol, reckless endangerment, speeding in excess of 15 miles over the posted speed limit or property damage.
