Provide the electronic vehicle license and driver's ID to the traffic police. You should always carry your driver's license when driving, otherwise you may be fined and penalized with 1 point, and your vehicle might even be impounded.
If stopped by traffic police for forgetting to bring the vehicle registration certificate, I would remain calm and cooperate with the inspection, politely explaining that I forgot to carry the document. I would provide my ID number or driver's license information for the officer to verify online, as many systems now support digital verification, avoiding arguments or panic. After verifying my identity, the officer might issue a warning or fine, but usually no severe penalty. I recommend developing a habit of keeping documents in a fixed spot in the car or using digital apps for storage. Having driven for years, I've encountered similar situations – honest communication resolves it, and bringing documents next time avoids hassle. This minor incident reminds us that safe driving starts with attention to detail.
I was stopped by a traffic police officer for forgetting to bring my vehicle license while driving. I would first apologize and explain that I forgot to bring it. Then, I would ask the officer if they could verify my identity through the system, possibly by providing my license plate number or name to assist. If handled properly, it usually results in a warning or a small fine, and with good luck, I might be let go directly. From now on, I will definitely keep my documents in my bag for easy access. A friend suggested that having an electronic backup is even safer. Carelessness is not an option, but there's no need to panic when something happens—just cooperate.
