Theory Hub UK Theory Test

You're stopped by a police officer for a suspected motoring offence. Which document will you always be asked to produce?

Why this is the answer

If you cannot produce your driving licence when asked to do so by a police officer, you may be asked to produce it at a police station within a certain time.

Why the other answers don't fit

B
Your vehicle registration document — The registration document stays with the keeper's records, not in the cab.
C
Your vehicle's MOT certificate — The MOT may be asked for, and the licence is the one always required.
D
Your theory test certificate — A theory test certificate proves how you got the licence, not what you hold now.

Where this comes from

  • Driving Buses and Coaches — section 12
  • Driving Goods Vehicles — section 12

Where this question comes from

The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
