Failure To Produce Documents
An individual is charged with the offence of failing to produce documents when he/she is stopped by the police.
A Police Officer may demand production of driving documents at the roadside, which can include, your driving license and counterpart, certificate of insurance, vehicle registration document and MOT certificate, under the Road Traffic Act 1988.
If you do not have the documentation with you the Officer may issue you with a form HO/RT1 which will enable you to produce them within 7 days at a police station of your choice.
