Question

Difficulty: EasyVehicle Security and Anti-Theft

Keeping the original vehicle registration certificate (V5C) stored inside the vehicle's glove box is recommended so that it is always accessible during journeys.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False. The vehicle registration certificate (V5C) should never be stored inside the vehicle.
The statement is false because keeping the vehicle registration certificate (V5C) in the car gives a thief proof of the vehicle's details, making it much easier to sell or transfer ownership of the stolen vehicle. To prevent fraud and theft facilitation, the V5C must always be kept in a secure location at home.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Assess the security implications of leaving original vehicle registration documents inside the vehicle.
Leaving the V5C in the car facilitates identity theft and the illicit resale of the vehicle if it is stolen.
Official vehicle security advice states that ownership documents must be protected and stored securely at home rather than in the car.
