What documents are required when operating a motor vehicle?

  1. Only a driver's license

  2. License, registration, and insurance card

  3. Registration and insurance card only

  4. License and registration only

The correct answer is: License, registration, and insurance card

To legally operate a motor vehicle, it is essential to have specific documentation to ensure that the driver is authorized, the vehicle is registered, and that there is insurance coverage in place. The requirement for having a driver's license, vehicle registration, and an insurance card is a standard practice to ensure safety and accountability on the road. A driver's license verifies that the individual has passed the necessary tests and is qualified to drive. The vehicle registration indicates that the vehicle is legally recognized by the state, ensuring that it meets certain safety standards and regulations. The insurance card demonstrates that the driver is financially responsible for any potential damages or injuries that might occur during the operation of the vehicle. In New Jersey, having all three documents—license, registration, and insurance card—when operating a vehicle is mandatory to promote responsible driving and to protect all road users.
