Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. A driving licence retention receipt for the period it permits the driver to drive.
Explanation
The question is about the documents you must carry with you during a roadside check. It is the receipt for the retention of a driving licence, for the period in which it authorises driving - 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 a driving licence plays the role of the retained document for the time stated in it - for example 24 hours after retention for exceeding the speed limit by more than 50 km/h in a built-up area, or 7 days after retention because the driving licence is no longer valid. The psychological fitness certificate from answer A and the medical certificate from answer C are conditions for obtaining or keeping driving entitlements, but their results are in the register and they are not carried in the car.
