Correct answer
B. 3 persons more than specified in the registration document.
Explanation
The question is about the retention of a foreign driving licence for carrying too many people in a passenger car. A police officer will retain it when you are carrying 3 people more than stated in the vehicle registration certificate - answer B.
The Road Traffic Act requires a police officer to retain, in exchange for a receipt, a driving licence issued by another country when the driver is carrying more people than the number of seats stated in the vehicle registration certificate. At the same time, this rule does not apply if the number of extra people in a passenger car does not exceed 2. Carrying 1 person (answer A) or 2 people (answer C) over the limit is a petty offence punished with a fine, but it does not lead to the retention of the driving licence. Only 3 extra people mean the retention of the document. In a bus the threshold is higher - retention applies when there are more than 5 extra people.
