I would say that it unnecessary to carry any documents as the police can verify that you have these by computer from their cars now. How do you think that you can re-tax the car on line. The DVLA have a record of all cars that are insured and MOTed where it is necessary. The only time that you may be asked for the documents if stopped by a foot patrol, and even they can get the information from base.

In the uk you should be able to produce your documents on the request of a police officer however it is accepted for security you do not carry them in your vehicle etc,
so you can be served with a HORT 1 which allows you seven days from midnight of the day you are stopped to produce to a nominated police station of your choice.
You will have to produce whatever documents the Officer requests ie: MOT, Licence, Insurance, and if the licence not only the new card type but also the paperwork as well.
failure to produce is then an offence which you will be reported for and be summonsed to court.

you may ask, however the criminal expert fairly messes issues up. They decelerate money, and the criminal expert shows litigation to the coverage employer, so probable you will ought to watch for each and all the declare to be settled - the two in a court listening to, or by potential of way of inner maximum contract. YOUR vehicle coverage employer is purely required to pay "scientific money" coverage, as much as the shrink. After six months, probable the bounds are exhausted. something else - the police do not be certain fault. THe officer can supply an opinion - that could or is probably not upheld by potential of the choose. i could advise if this coverage employer became so sluggish to offer scientific costs and settle for criminal duty for the accident, you have numerous issues happening: a million. you have a comparative criminal duty quantity, reckoning on state regulation 2. the driving force isn't coated by potential of their coverage, wherein case stable luck gathering from them quickly 3. fault is being contested. the different coverage employer won't even consult with you, and neither will YOURS, concerning this declare, in case you have employed a criminal expert to represent you. they are able to't. they are able to only communicate on your criminal expert. ASK YOUR criminal expert, hiya, what's the holdup. Why isn't there a freelance supply NOW. The contract / criminal duty supply ought to have been on the table interior 2 months after the accident - regardless of if it became only for the scientific costs. Your criminal expert probable is prevalent with precisely what the holdup is. in case you prefer to velocity this up, fireplace the criminal expert, and handle the different coverage employer quickly. in case you insist on working for the duration of the criminal expert, nicely, he's already advised you, it is going to take 13 extra months. That feels like a tribulation to me.

In UK you must be able to produce Driving license, MOT, insurance cert on the spot or within 5 days at a police station of your choice. It's a lot easier if you carry them with you, then you can show them immediately.

Whether required by your specific state or not, it is a good idea to have proof of insurance in the glove box.
Do not leave the title in the car as many states no longer require notorization on the title and it makes it easier for thieves to monkey with the title.
Many states make it a ticketable offense not to carry proof of insurance, Texas is one. Fines for this are high here.
Hey UK answerers-get back on the UK Answers website, you're on the American one so your answers are useless as to American laws. Don't make us kick your butts again! lol :)

In UK, it is an offence not to show your documents when asked to do so by a police officer, but they will just give you 7 days to produce them at the police station of your choice instead of reporting it as an offence

It's always been a legal requirement. But they don't *really* expect everyone to have them at all times - so if you get stopped you get a "producer".
The effect of this is that they won't prosecute you if you produce them at a nick of your choice. If you read the next one you get, that's what it says - "no action will be taken against you if you produce the said documents within 5 days". (Or something similar, I can't remember the exact words.)

in the uk no..as most insurance companys pass on details to the police when a policy is taken out. So the police can check you against your cars plates before they stop you

Never heard of that, and if you get pulled you have 7 days to produce documents, I never leave my documents in the car.

The law has always been, that you must provide proof of insurance, registration, and driver's license, if pulled over by law enforcement. All three items, must be in the car. Do not carry your car title in your car, it needs to be stored in a safe area.
