Law / Car Insurance in Poland - any company that will honour British no claim bonus discount? [30]
Yes that is right. If you buy a RHD car in Poland, or import one, you cannot register it until it has been converted - they will not register RHD cars. After conversion (which is an extremely cfomplex and expensive business) it has to pass a test by the equivalent of an MOT testing station and the advice I was given is that they are very reluctant to pass it because if you later had an accident and it proved to be the fault of the conversion, the MOT tester would get the blame for signing the car off.
Best look for a LHD car.
it must be altered to be LHD. is that right?
