Is It Okay to Keep Driver's License and Vehicle Registration in the Car?
1 Answers
Driver's license and vehicle registration can be kept in the car. Here is the relevant information: 1. Both driver's license and vehicle registration are indispensable for a car to be on the road. The vehicle registration serves as the car's ID card, while the driver's license is proof of driving qualification. Therefore, neither can be omitted. Many car owners, fearing they might forget to bring these documents while driving, choose to keep them in the car so they can be presented immediately if stopped by traffic police. 2. Function of vehicle registration: Article 17 of the "Road Traffic Management Regulations" issued by the State Council stipulates: "Vehicles must pass the inspection by the vehicle management authority and obtain license plates and registration before they are allowed to operate." Thus, possessing a "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate" is one of the prerequisites for a vehicle to be on the road. Driving without the registration, whether due to not obtaining it or forgetting to carry it, constitutes a violation.
