For answer  A 

The registration or recording certificate or the substitute proof of it is retained by the traffic police when:

• in the case of a registered vehicle (for example a moped), when it does not have a valid periodic technical inspection performed or it is annulled;
• in the case of the registered vehicle (for example a car), when its registration is suspended by right because its periodic technical inspection is expired.

For answer  B 

The retention of the registration certificate does not apply if stickers are applied on the windshield, as long as they do not restrict or blur visibility while driving, both from the inside and from the outside.

For answer  C
