Question 6543
Of the following, which is an obligation of the vehicle's registered owner?
- Checking that all occupants of the vehicle are wearing their seat belts.
- Verifying that the vehicle's license plates have no obstructions that prevent them from being read.
- Identifying the driver of the vehicle to the authorities at the time a traffic violation is committed.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Identifying the driver of the vehicle to the authorities at the time a traffic violation is committed.
If the traffic authorities request it, the registered owner must identify whoever was driving when the violation was committed and provide that person's driver's license number. If the owner has reported a regular driver, or if a long-term lessee is listed, the obligation passes to that person. Checking that the license plates are clearly readable is each driver's responsibility.
