Is a policeman allowed to detain without a warrant a driver who committed an offence in front of him?
- Not under any condition
- Yes, but only under a court certificate
- Correct answer: Yes, if the driver doesn’t give his name and address or doesn’t present his license as required
- Yes, only if the driver committed an offence that actually endangered road users
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, if the driver doesn’t give his name and address or doesn’t present his license as required
A police officer who sees a driver commit an offence may detain the driver even without a warrant if the driver does not give their name and address or does not present their licence as required. No judge's approval is needed. The authority also does not depend on the offence having actually endangered road users.
