Question 4914

Who is responsible for violations committed while driving?

  1. The insurance policyholder.
  2. Always the vehicle's registered owner.
  3. The person who committed the act constituting the violation.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The person who committed the act constituting the violation.

As a general rule, the person who commits a violation is responsible for it, even if the vehicle belongs to someone else. The registered owner is responsible in specific cases, such as violations involving the ITV or the vehicle's documentation. Being the insurance policyholder does not make you responsible for someone else's violations.
