Is it quite common in Poland that there a road checks of the Police on the Motorway?

I've traveled around Poland a few times with the Bus and Car.
But no Police Car around the Motorway ... Or a road check.

Polish Police are not focusing on that like Germany for example?

Usually unmarked cars are used to patrol the motorway, particularly on the A4.

Good to know.
I only can speak for the Berlin Border, Poznan, Lodz and Warsaw.

They have a special beloved car brand?
I've noticed they love Opel and Kia in Poznan for the Undercover Police :)

It's one of my favourite tactics here. It takes only a few seconds and doesn't bother me in the slightest, but watching the inevitable idiots get caught is a pleasure.

I wish they would introduce much higher fines and use the revenue to catch as many drink-drivers as possible. I wouldn't have an issue if I was stopped every day for a quick check.

They will do. PIS needs a money for 500+ and other bonuses ;)
