Correct answer
C. If the driver has a driving licence limited to a vehicle fitted with an alcohol interlock, a certificate of satisfactory technical examination in this regard.
Explanation
The question is about the document that the driver of a vehicle registered in Poland must have with them and show on request. It is the certificate of a positive result of the technical inspection of the alcohol interlock, if the driver's entitlement is limited to vehicles fitted with such an interlock - the answer is C.
The Road Traffic Act requires the driver to have with them and show at the request of an authorised body the required documents, including: a document confirming the entitlement to drive other than a driving licence issued in Poland, a certificate of the technical inspection of the alcohol interlock, the document of its calibration, a receipt for the retention of a driving licence, a vehicle registration certificate or a temporary permit for the period in which it authorises driving or using the vehicle, and the driver qualification card, if it is required. An alcohol interlock is a device that prevents the engine from starting when alcohol is detected in the exhaled air; a driver whose entitlement was restored after a driving ban with a restriction to vehicles with an interlock must have with them the certificate of the technical inspection confirming that it works properly. Confirmation of OC insurance from answer A and the vehicle registration certificate from answer B do not have to be carried for a vehicle registered in Poland - the police officer checks them in the Central Register of Vehicles.
