Fill the blank with one of these answers:

(a)Proof of ownership.
(b)Proof of financial responsibility (insurance). [correct answer]
(c)Maintenance records.
(d)A personal property tax receipt.

In UK, you can drive around UK without ANY document - even the driving licence (you must have a valid driving licence, of course, but you don't have to have the document on you) which can create serious problems when UK drivers start unassuming that the same rules apply everywhere ...

personal property tax = « contribution/taxe mobilière » (https://www.btb.termiumplus.gc.ca/tpv2alpha/alpha-fra.html?l...

On semble demander des preuves, donc ce serait une preuve de résidence ?

Si c'est pour la France, on n'a pas de taxe mobilière en tant que telle et on parlerait ici de « bordereau de paiement de la taxe foncière/d'habitation » (https://www.impots.gouv.fr/portail/particulier/questions/jai...

Sinon, « reçu fiscal de la taxe mobilière », pour rester général.

On second thoughts, laissez tomber la réf. à la taxe foncière/d'habitation.

D'où « reçu [en général]/bordereau de paiement [France] de la taxe mobilière ».

Note from asker:
That is an excellent point, I thought about putting something bogus, but it does have to be credible so it's not too easily dismissed as a wrong answer. Thank you!
Peer comment(s):

agree Daryo : no point in dwelling in fine points of this "tax receipt" - it's just one of the wrong answers to a multiple choice question, whatever variant of "tax receipt" concerning some real estate would be the wrong document to keep at all time in your car.

C'est ce que je me suis dit après coup ; la réponse proposée doit simplement rester plausible pour que le candidat ne voie pas tt de suite qu'elle est fausse.
