Legislation

Your car's APK (MOT) expired three weeks ago. Your brother borrows the car and is stopped with it on the N50 near Zwolle. Who is liable for the expired APK?

Only you, because the car is registered in your name
Only your brother, because he was driving the car
Both of you: you as owner, he as the driver

Explanation

False — you forget the owner. The owner or keeper remains liable for a valid APK, even when someone else drives the car; the driver is liable as well. (VekaBest p.205 (Hoofdstuk 13 §13.1 Voertuigeisen — Verlichting); VekaBest p.191 (Hoofdstuk 11 §11.3, cross-chapter cite voor mistachterlicht))
