Driving Documents and Police Powers

It is an offence to drive a motor vehicle without a valid driving licence.
Police officers have the power to stop vehicles on the road.
Officers can demand production of driving documents, including licence, provisional licence, insurance, test certificate, and goods vehicle certificate.
This power applies to drivers, those suspected of being involved in accidents, and those suspected of committing road traffic offences.
If a learner driver is accompanied by a qualified driver, officers can demand production of the driving licence from the supervising driver.
When stopping a vehicle, officers can ask the driver for their name and address, and the name and address of the vehicle's owner.
If an officer demands production of a driving licence, they can also ask the driver for their date of birth.
A defaced, mutilated, or unreadable licence is not considered to have been produced.

If a person cannot produce driving documents on demand, they will be issued with a production notice (Form 55/8).
They will be given 7 days to produce the document(s) at a police station of their choice.
