Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. It is driven by a person unauthorised to drive and where it is impossible to secure the vehicle by handing it over to the person inside the vehicle who is authorised to drive it.
Explanation
The question is about the situation in which a vehicle registered in Poland is removed from the road at the owner's expense. This happens when it is driven by a person without a driving entitlement and the vehicle cannot be handed over to a person who is in it and holds the entitlement - answer C.
The Road Traffic Act states that a vehicle is removed from the road at the owner's expense, among other cases, when it is driven by a person who does not hold the entitlement or whose driving licence has been retained, if it is not possible to secure the vehicle by handing it over to a person who is in it and holds the entitlement. Leaving a vehicle in a place where this is prohibited (answer A) leads to removal only when the vehicle obstructs traffic or endangers safety in some other way. Failure to show the third-party liability insurance (OC) document (answer B) is grounds for removal only for vehicles registered in certain foreign countries, and for a Polish vehicle the insurance is checked in the database.
