Viimati uuendatud: 1. veebruar 2026
Kokkuvõte
Poland tightens driving regulations in 2026 with expanded license revocation rules for speeding outside cities, EU GSR2 Phase 3 mandatory safety systems for new cars, stricter penalty point reduction limits, and new helmet requirements for young e-scooter riders.
Peamised muudatused
Advanced Driver Distraction Warning (EU GSR2 Phase 3)
Jõustub 7. juuli 2026
Basic drowsiness warning only
Since July 2024, new cars required basic ADAS including AEB, ISA, and lane-keeping; drowsiness warning based on driving patterns
Camera-based distraction monitoring
All new cars sold in Poland must have Advanced Driver Distraction Warning (ADDW) with camera to detect phone use, looking away, or other distractions
Ametlik allikas: EU General Safety Regulation 2
Õpetaja nõuanne
“As an EU member, Poland adopts GSR2 Phase 3 from July 2026. Your new car will have a camera watching you drive - it detects phone use, eating, or looking away from the road. AEB, ISA, and lane-keeping were already mandatory from July 2024.”
License Revocation Extended to Roads Outside Cities
Jõustub 1. jaanuar 2026
Revocation in built-up areas only
License revoked only for exceeding the speed limit by 50 km/h in built-up areas
Revocation on all roads
License revoked for exceeding the speed limit by 50 km/h on single-carriageway roads outside built-up areas as well
Ametlik allikas: Polish Road Traffic Reform
Õpetaja nõuanne
“Previously you could only lose your license for exceeding the limit by 50 km/h inside cities. Now this rule applies on roads outside built-up areas too. On a 90 km/h road, driving at 140 km/h means losing your license.”
Expanded Average Speed Camera Network
Jõustub 1. jaanuar 2026
Limited OPP sections
Sectional speed measurement (odcinkowy pomiar prędkości) on selected road sections only
OPP expanded to motorways and expressways
CANARD/GITD expanding average speed cameras to major motorways and expressways; braking before a single camera no longer helps
Ametlik allikas: CANARD Speed Enforcement
Õpetaja nõuanne
“Poland's CANARD system is expanding sectional speed measurement to motorways and expressways. These cameras calculate your average speed over a stretch of road, so braking before a camera is pointless. The only way to avoid a fine is to drive within the limit for the entire section.”

Re: Stricter Penalty Point Reduction Courses
Õpetaja nõuanne
“You can no longer reduce penalty points as often as before. Courses are limited to once every 6 months, and only for less serious violations. New drivers in their first year cannot reduce points at all - drive carefully from day one.”
Re: Helmet Mandatory for Under-16 E-Scooter Riders
Õpetaja nõuanne
“Children under 16 must now wear helmets when riding e-scooters, bicycles, or other personal electric devices. The fine of PLN 100 is imposed on the guardian, not the child. E-scooters remain limited to 20 km/h on all public roads.”
