What is the validity period of a driving licence retention receipt issued by a police officer for transporting two passengers in excess of the number of seats specified in the passenger car registration document?
a12 hours.
b24 hours.
c72 hours.
Why?
Answer B gives the standard period during which a receipt issued after licence retention for carrying too many people authorises driving: 24 hours from retention. It is not 12 hours; 72 hours applies to the special case of a foreign-issued licence held by someone who does not reside in Poland. However, the threshold for mandatory retention in a passenger car is at least three people above the permitted capacity, rather than the two stated in the question.
