Correct answer: In plain sight and within your reach.
Answer options
- AInside the closed glove compartment
- BIn plain sight and within your reach Correct
- CIn a closed box under your seat

While you are at the controls with your seat belt fastened, the papers must be in the door pouch or somewhere you can reach easily and that anyone entering the cab can readily see. Papers hidden under a seat or in a glove compartment could be missed by emergency responders after a crash.
