Ch. 4 · Pre-Drive Conduct

When a police officer requests to see your license, you only need to present it if you have caused a traffic accident.

[True / False · Medium]

Answer: ✕ False

Explanation

The text states: "If a police officer requests to see your license after you commit a traffic violation or cause a traffic accident, you must present your license." Presentation is required not only for accidents but also for violations, so this statement is incorrect.
