DGT Rules Documents, permits, and vehicle control

DGT rules in English

Documents, permits, and vehicle control

These rules help you answer questions about documents, licences, and vehicle checks.

Documents answer what must be proved

Ask what the document proves, then pick the right one.

Watch for: The question asks which document you need to show.

ITV proves roadworthiness, not insurance

ITV proves the vehicle passed its technical inspection — it is not the same as insurance.

Watch for: The question mentions inspection, defects, or vehicle condition.

Mandatory insurance protects others first

Mandatory insurance protects other people — not your own vehicle.

Watch for: The question asks what compulsory insurance covers.

Permit validity is a driver condition

A valid licence must match the driver and the vehicle category they are driving.

Watch for: The question mentions licence category, renewal, points, or loss of validity.
