Sources
Show the source, show the date.
Roadbook is designed around a simple rule: if a requirement can cost you money, affect your legal position or change how you use a vehicle, the source matters.
1
Primary first
FRSC, NPF, NAICOM, state authority or the official service itself whenever available.
2
Contested = labelled
Court disputes and changing enforcement positions are described as changing, not frozen into false certainty.
3
State ≠ national
Local procedures stay labelled state-specific until there is a reliable nationwide basis.
4
Date every check
Core V1 content was checked on 17 Aug 2026. Important actions should still be re-checked at source.
