  • C Only needs to pay a fine and keep driving
  • D May drive only at night

Why this is the correct answer

If the vehicle has a serious defect, it is not allowed to continue being driven; it must be taken to a workshop for repair and then returned for a new inspection confirming it is fit to circulate.
