Which documents must you carry?

In Germany, it's mandatory to carry specific documents while driving to ensure compliance with traffic regulations and for safety purposes. The required documents include:

1. Permit for use (Betriebserlaubnis) - This document demonstrates that your vehicle meets the necessary technical standards and is permitted for operation on public roads.
2. Test certificate - Often, this refers to the TÜV certificate (Technischer Überwachungsverein), which verifies that the vehicle has passed mandatory safety inspections.
3. Evidence of insurance - It is crucial to have valid vehicle insurance to protect against liability in case of accidents or damages.

Having all three documents ensures that you are legally allowed to operate your vehicle, as they provide proof of the vehicle's safety, compliance with regulations, and financial responsibility. Neglecting any of these requirements can lead to fines or legal issues if stopped by law enforcement.
