joyriding driving without a license failure to carry proper Id failure to carry insurance possibly?

Answer 2

Why don't you just carry them in the car? Then you won't be in this situation. The answer really depends on the officer who pulls you over. They can give you a ticket for not having this information. If the cop is lenient, he or she can easily determine whether you have a valid registration by looking it up on the computer. And they could call your insurance company to verify your coverage.

Answer 3

You would probably be cited for both violations, but most courts would dismiss the violations once you prove that you did actually have valid registration and license documents at the time of the citation. Some courts might also charge you a modest "administrative" fine.
