Polish police enforce strict traffic laws and fines
Recent police interventions in Poland have highlighted various traffic violations and the strict enforcement of road safety laws. In Skierniewice, a 26-year-old driver was fined 5,000 PLN and had his license suspended for three months after being caught driving a BMW at 142 km/h in a 50 km/h zone.
Other enforcement actions included a crackdown in Myślenice, where police identified 66 violations, including speeding, noise disturbances, and driving without proper credentials. In Jarosław, a mother was fined 1,000 PLN after her 9-year-old son was caught riding an electric scooter on a public road without required permits. Similarly, a 14-year-old in Ciechanów faces family court for operating a moped without a license or proper vehicle documentation.
Authorities also issued warnings regarding mobile phone usage and vehicle equipment. Drivers using handheld phones, even while stopped in traffic, face 500 PLN fines and 12 penalty points. Additionally, mounting phone holders or devices on the windshield in ways that obstruct the driver's field of vision can result in fines of up to 3,000 PLN.
