Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. Handing the registration card over to the new owner.
Explanation
This question is about the obligation of an owner who has sold an agricultural tractor. The owner must hand the vehicle registration certificate over to the new owner - answer B.
The Road Traffic Act states that when ownership of a registered vehicle is transferred, the previous owner hands the vehicle registration certificate over to the new owner, as well as the technical inspection certificate if the registration certificate does not contain a valid inspection date. The new owner needs these documents to register the tractor in their own name within 30 days. The registration certificate is not returned to the office (answer A) - the buyer will do this when re-registering the vehicle. You also do not hand in the registration plates (answer C) - they stay with the vehicle, unless the buyer changes them during registration. Also do not forget that within 30 days you notify the starost (head of the district authority) of the sale of the vehicle, and you also inform the insurer about the sale - the OC insurance contract passes to the buyer.
