For answer  A 

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

• in the case of a registered vehicle (for example a moped), when it has not undergone a valid periodic technical inspection or this is cancelled;
• in the case of the registered vehicle (for example a car), when it has its registration suspended by law 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 these do not restrict or blur visibility while driving, both from the inside and from the outside.

For answer  C
