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.
