When inspecting a vehicle that performs road transport, does a road transport inspector have the right to verify the vehicle data in the Central Register of Vehicles?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. Yes, they have the same rights as the police in this respect.
Explanation
The question is about the powers of a road transport inspector who checks a vehicle carrying out road transport. The inspector has the right to verify vehicle data in the Central Register of Vehicles - in this respect they have the same rights as the police - the answer is A.
The Road Traffic Act states that traffic checks on the driver of a vehicle carrying out road transport are also carried out by the Road Transport Inspection (Inspekcja Transportu Drogowego, ITD), and during such a check the inspectors have the powers of police officers set out in the Act, including the right to check documents and verify vehicle data in the Central Register of Vehicles. So an inspector can stop a lorry or a bus, check the registration, technical inspection and insurance in the register, and check the tachograph and the driver's working time. Answers B and C narrow the group of authorised bodies to the police, or to the police, the Border Guard and the Customs and Tax Service - this is untrue, because the ITD has the same powers within its scope. For the driver of a passenger car, an ITD inspector is a rare but fully authorised inspecting officer.
