Question 251 in the bank

Who is required to hold the vehicle’s registration papers?

  1. Correct answer: The driver while driving, even if he’s not the vehicle’s owner.
  2. The garage that conducts regular treatments of the vehicle.
  3. The vehicle’s owner, even when he’s not driving it.
  4. The vehicle’s insurance company.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The driver while driving, even if he’s not the vehicle’s owner.

The vehicle's registration papers must be with whoever is actually driving, because the driver is the one who may be asked to show them to a police officer during the trip. So even someone driving a car that belongs to a relative or an employer must carry them while driving. Ownership does not shift this duty, and the insurer or garage has no role here.
