Correct answer
B. Proof of payment of the premium for the compulsory civil liability insurance.
Explanation
The question is about the documents required from a driver of a vehicle registered abroad when driving in Poland. It is proof of payment of the premium for compulsory OC insurance - answer B.
The Road Traffic Act states that a driver of a vehicle registered abroad who takes part in traffic in Poland is obliged to carry and show, at the request of an authorised body, the documents required from every driver, as well as a document confirming that the vehicle is admitted to road traffic and a document confirming the conclusion of a contract of compulsory third-party liability insurance of the vehicle keeper, or proof of payment of the premium for this insurance. The rule allows two forms of proof of insurance: the contract document or proof of payment of the premium - either of them is enough. The professional registration certificate from answer A is a Polish document issued to manufacturers and dealers for test drives, not a document of a vehicle registered abroad. Motorway tolls from answer C are collected electronically or at toll gates, and you do not have to carry any document proving that you have paid them. A foreign driver must also have a driving licence - if it was not issued in Poland, they show another document confirming the right to drive.
