Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. A different document certifying the right to drive other than a national driving licence.
Explanation
The question is about the documents you must carry with you during a roadside check. It is a document confirming the right to drive a vehicle, other than a driving licence issued in Poland - 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. You have not had to carry the Polish driving licence from answer A since 2020: the police officer checks your driving entitlements in the Central Register of Drivers. The obligation to show a document applies instead to a document that is not in the Polish register - for example a foreign driving licence. The certificate of qualification from answer C is an old document for professional drivers; today qualifications are confirmed by code 95 entered in the driving licence, and a driver qualification card is issued only to drivers who do not have a driving licence from an EU country.
