Hosepipe ban

What is the definition of a hosepipe ban? (apart from the obvious) e.g. if there's a hosepipe ban does that mean you can't wash your car using buckets of water?

I'm sure you can use buckets to wash the car but you can't fill the bucket with a hose !!!.....then again, i would hope that people would be sensible and not wash their cars if we have a water shortage.
You can, however, use a hosepipe to top up a garden pond.
Check with your local water provider if there's any confusion.
