Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The vehicle's registered owner.

The registered owner is responsible, or the long-term lessee if listed in the Vehicle Register, even if someone else is driving at the time. They are responsible for violations involving documentation, periodic inspections, and the vehicle's poor condition when it affects safety.
