Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. Yes.
Explanation
The photo shows a permit for a single journey of an abnormal (oversize or overweight) vehicle, issued by the General Director for National Roads and Motorways. When driving an abnormal vehicle, you are obliged to carry the permit for the journey and show it to authorised persons - answer A.
The Road Traffic Act states directly that the driver of an abnormal vehicle is obliged to carry the permit for the journey of an abnormal vehicle and show it to authorised persons. Such a vehicle may be driven on the road only after obtaining a permit of the appropriate category, while complying with the conditions set out in it, with the required escort vehicles and while exercising particular caution. The obligation does not depend on the content of the permit (answer C) or on who issued it - the person carrying out the check must be able to compare the route, dimensions and mass with the document on the spot. If the journey takes place without a permit or not in accordance with its conditions, a financial penalty is imposed on the entity carrying out the journey, and a driver who does not have the permit with them is liable for a petty offence.
