What documents are you obliged to carry with you and present at the request of the competent authorities during roadside inspections?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. Receipt of retention of the registration document for the period it authorises the use of the vehicle.
Explanation
The question is about the documents you must carry with you during a roadside check. It is the receipt for the retention of the vehicle registration certificate, for the period in which it allows the vehicle to be used - answer B.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver to carry and show, at the request of an authorised body, the required documents, including: a document confirming the right to drive other than a driving licence issued in Poland, a certificate of the technical inspection of an alcohol interlock, its calibration document, a receipt for the retention of a driving licence, of a vehicle registration certificate or of a temporary permit for the period in which it authorises driving or using the vehicle, and a driver qualification card, if it is required. The receipt for the retention of the registration certificate replaces the retained document, so for as long as it is valid you must carry it and show it. You do not need to carry the confirmation of payment for OC insurance from answer A for a vehicle registered in Poland - the police officer checks the insurance in the Central Register of Vehicles, just like the registration certificate, which you have also not had to carry since 2018. The technical inspection certificate from answer C is required only in special cases, for example with an alcohol interlock, and not "in all cases".
