Life / How to take the driving test in Poland? [20]

I am 27!!

But there are further problems I have zero no claims bonueses and also these nine points.

But I will see if that is possible with the alternative insurance maybe I can get some joy out of that!!

I live on the suburbs of London Uxbridge so shouldnt be too bad!!! Well that is my parents addresss and I more or less stay there at the moment!!!

Thanks guys again

Life / How to take the driving test in Poland? [20]

wow in terms of the process it is technically possible, but I would need a long time and probably money put into it. The nine points run for some time and cripple my insurance (my last vehicle was a 1 mitre Nissan micra!).

In terms of the 2.5 bimmer I think it will cost me the deposift on a small house to insure it, especially across europe but I will check it out.

I will consider if it is plausible to bite the bullet and put up with my UK points or go through this long process...

So do I need to live in Poland for 3 months to get this PESEL because I am an EU citizen with a British passport?

Food for thought and oh while I am here could my girlfriend not be the translator in the test?

The fact that in the UK my points will still exist seems a bit counterproductive and maybe all of this effort will be in vain?

Many thannks you have all been extremely helpful

Yes maybe an old VAG would be fine or a good old straigh six Beemer!!!!!!

I cant believe how helpful you and others have been on here, definately selling it could be a good idea but I would have no idea how to and I would have to get my friend who is getting marries or my girlfriend to actually f do it!!!!!!!

You must be joking!!!!

I didnt think that anywhere would be more expensive than the UK!!!!

I will definately get a cheap long range cruiser, probably a Citroen Xantia 1.9 TD with a MASSIVE tank but the hydraulics can give problems sometimes, but I am only having the car for a short time so does not really matter ;-)

Was considering a Citroen AX 1.5 Naturally Aspirated 1.5 as you get a billion miles to the gallon but it probably has a tiny tank and very uncomfortable for a long trip!!

You guys have been very helpful I owe you all millions of beers!! ;-)

Thank you VERY much!!!!! I would be willing to travel there when I visit as I will be going there on my UK licence. if you can find out I will owe you around 10 million Zubr's!!!!

Obviously not combining thje Zubr's with the driving!!!!

One of my Polish mates states that diesel is cheaper in Poland?

As I need to decide what fuel is cheaper do do the 200 ish mile round trip ;-)

Sorry 2000+ mile trip thank you again

Hi there and thanks for your reply,

It would be cheraper to have a brand new Polish licence in my case it would be cheaper and easier to start with a fresh licence.

I know quite a few Polish people and my gf is polish and obviously they can help me, but would I need to book it in advance and would I be able to do an theory test translated into English or would I need a translator?

Could I just go there on vacation and take the theory and test and what would I need to prepare?

Many thanks for your help

Hi guys, I am a British Citizen who has 9 points on his driving licence (UK licence).

They will take ages to come off and I cannot afford to drive on it.

Is there any way I can take a brand new theory and practical test in Poland, I am going to Poland in August and am willing to pay the necessary rates.

Maybe I coul do some sort of course or whatever, I don't mind.

My girlfriend is Polish and can help me with the language side of things.

I want to do this legitimately so no dodgy licences or illegalities. I just want to take a Polish test the legitimate way and get my Polish EU licence.

I would be driving to Poland on a regular basis anyway so it would be useful.

Regards
