Travel / Snow tyres in Poland... legal or reccomended? [25]
Hey Guys,
Just for more information and saving money. I live in Szczecin, just by the border with Germany. I did not know when i first came here about tyre changes, i had bought a car with summer tyres from Germany. Last year in Decemeber I went to Germany with same car and same tyres, I was blocked in traffic, to my bad luck a police car passed near me in traffic and of all the cars he looked at , I guess he liked mine more. He came running on me and done a nice show with siren and lights, and shouting that i am stupid and careless and that to drive in Germany I should use winter tyres from November till April. I pkayed the part that i did not know and i did not understand German, he let me go but after 30 minutes of real nice show in the middle of the autobahn that was blocked with traffic.
Though I agree that for safety reasons you need the winter tyres, in Poland especialy in the mornings the streets around the forests are full of ice and black ice. It is worth being safe on the Polish roads....... I let you understand that.
By the way I think the air tickets are much cheaper, get a ticket with ryan air to Szczecin and then go with train where ever in Poland, the trains are bloody cheap here.
