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
A. Receipt of temporary permission for the period it authorises to use 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 temporary permit, for the period in which it allows the vehicle to be used - answer A.
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 temporary permit replaces the retained document for the time for which the police officer has allowed further use of the vehicle, so without it you cannot prove that you are allowed to drive the car. The EC certificate of conformity from answer B is a type-approval document needed for the first registration, not on the road. You have not had to carry the vehicle registration certificate from answer C since 2018, because the police officer checks the vehicle data, insurance and technical inspection in the Central Register of Vehicles.
