Driving rules & facts

  1. Right-Hand Traffic

    Poland drives on the right. Priority to vehicles from the right at unmarked intersections. Always keep to the right lane unless overtaking.

  2. BAC 0.2‰ (Strictest in EU)

    General limit 0.2‰ — one of the strictest in the EU (most countries: 0.5‰). Novice and professional drivers: 0.0‰. Above 0.5‰ is a criminal offence with imprisonment and vehicle confiscation above 1.5‰.

  3. OC Mandatory Insurance

    OC (odpowiedzialność cywilna) third-party liability insurance is mandatory. Driving without it carries severe fines (up to 7,500 zł for cars) and personal liability for damages.

  4. Przegląd Techniczny

    Vehicle roadworthiness inspection is mandatory: first inspection after 3 years, then every 2 years until 5 years, then annually. Stacja kontroli pojazdów (SKP) stations perform the inspection.

  5. DRL Mandatory Year-Round

    Daytime running lights (DRL) or dipped headlights must be on at all times when driving in Poland, regardless of weather or time of day.

  6. Phone: 500 zł + 12 Points

    Using a mobile phone while driving carries a 500 zł fine and 12-point penalty. Hands-free systems are permitted. One of the harshest phone penalties in Europe.

Tips for choosing a driving school in Poland

  1. Compare prices from at least 3 schools before enrolling. The cheapest option is not always the best — check what is included in the package.
  2. Ask schools about their pass rates. A higher pass rate often indicates better instruction quality.
  3. If Poland's official language is not your first language, ask if the school offers instruction or materials in your language.
