If a police officer asks to see your license while you are driving, it is enough to say that you have it with you; you do not have to show it.
運転中に警察官から免許証の提示を求められても、免許証を持っていることを口で伝えれば、提示しなくてもよい。
This statement is FALSE
Explanation
Article 95, paragraph 2 of the Road Traffic Act states that when a police officer requests to see your license while you are driving, you must present it. Simply saying you have it is not enough; you are legally required to hand it over for inspection.
