Traffic Police Rules: There are many things to keep in mind while getting into your car and going out. Apart from following traffic rules and safe driving, a car driver should always keep some important documents with him.
Failure to carry and produce these documents when requested by the traffic police may result in fines and other penalties. Additionally, if you are involved in an accident, having these documents can make it easier for bystanders to help you. Let us know which documents you need to carry.
According to the Motor Vehicles Act 1988 and Central Motor Rules 1989, every person driving a vehicle on the road must have a valid driving license. This important document can serve as proof of your identity, nationality, age and more.
It allows you to drive in civilian areas of the country without any special permit. Even if you move to another state or city in the country, your driver’s license will remain valid. Also, in case of an accident, you must have a driving license. Without this your motor insurance claim may be rejected.
While driving a car, it is very important to have proof that the car is registered in the name of the buyer. The registration certificate or RC acts as proof and verifies the traffic inspector that the car is registered with the concerned RTO. RC is an important document while making a car or bike insurance claim.
This helps the insurer to prove the genuineness of the vehicle and the claim. RC contains information about the vehicle’s registration number, address of the owner, make and type of the car, year of car manufacture, registration date and expiry date, chassis number, engine number etc.
