Poland: Proposed driver's license reforms and fee increases

The Polish Ministry of Infrastructure is discussing reforms to the driver's license examination system. Under the proposed rules, candidates who fail the practical exam three times would be required to undergo mandatory additional training. This would involve at least five hours of remedial driving at a driving school (OSK) and potentially passing an internal exam before being allowed to retake the state practical test.

Separately, in the Łódź Voivodeship, the regional assembly has approved an increase in state examination fees conducted by the Provincial Road Traffic Center (WORD). For category B licenses, the total cost for both the theoretical and practical exams has risen to 293 PLN, up from 275 PLN. The theoretical portion increased by 3 PLN, while the practical exam saw a 15 PLN increase.
