Question 478 in the bank

Who is responsible for keeping the vehicle roadworthy at all times?

A white police car with a blue stripe and a large white van next to a building, with people beside them and red equipment on the road.
  1. The insurance company.
  2. The vehicle’s manufacturer or importer.
  3. Correct answer: The registered owner of the vehicle and the driver.
  4. The Licensing Office.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The registered owner of the vehicle and the driver.

The registered owner of the vehicle and the driver are responsible for keeping the vehicle roadworthy at all times. The owner must see to servicing, repairs and the licensing test, and the driver is responsible for making sure the vehicle they drive is roadworthy. The other parties, such as the insurance company, the manufacturer, the importer and the Licensing Office, are not responsible for keeping the vehicle roadworthy at all times.
