In Chile if you are stopped driving a vehicle without your Picture ID, Vehicle documents (V5 & MOT equivalent) and your Driving License then your car will be impounded. It can cost £800 to get it back, even if all the documents are/were in order.
Anything wrong with the documents and you may not get it back at all.
If you have an injury accident and you do not have your documents or there is something wrong with them, then you will go to jail while it is all sorted out.
I wish the UK would follow suit.
