What are the benefits of claiming your van as a commercial vehicle?

If you have a business, you can write it off on your taxes as a business expense. If you do not have a business, the plates are more expensive, insurance is more expensive, the cops can hold you to commercial vehicle driving laws if you do something wrong and you can't expense the vehicle. So...if you don't have a business, don't claim it as a commercial vehicle because commercial vehicles are a pain in the butt.
