Poslední aktualizace: 1 лютого 2026 р.
Shrnutí
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.
Klíčové změny
Advanced Driver Distraction Warning (EU GSR2 Phase 3)
Účinné od 7 липня 2026 р.
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
Oficiální zdroj: EU General Safety Regulation 2
Tip instruktora
“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
Účinné od 1 січня 2026 р.
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
Oficiální zdroj: Polish Road Traffic Reform
Tip instruktora
“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
Účinné od 1 січня 2026 р.
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
Oficiální zdroj: CANARD Speed Enforcement
Tip instruktora
“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
Tip instruktora
“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
Tip instruktora
“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.”
