Law / Buying a USED CAR in Poland, my personal experiences and TRAPS to avoid !! [133]


They now go for over 10k Pln,I bought mine in 2001,1976 model that starts with a choke to ship to States for 350 Pln,but had to ride around Warsaw in neighboring villages to find a 25YO Maluch as an antique.I sent a 98 model but was not allowed to take it out from customs for 3000Pln and was crushed by them.

NO,in fact there was another blue car that had stopped to let him cross but this Porsche came flying and screeched to a halt after hitting him and I heard a loud thud and saw the guy near the sidewalk,probably doing over 120kmph if not more.



Yes indeed very traumatic,and I still cant forget that helpless mans blinking eyes looking at me like asking for help,all I could do was dial 911 which surprisingly worked in Poland and they spoke English.I know to dial 997 in Poland but also panicked and dialled 911 instead,and yes he was using crutches and crossing the empty street illegally.I couldnt see him in the face so stayed behind the building,but have to admit cops were there in 5 minutes with ambulance but I saw them take him on a gurney with cloth covering his whole body meaning he died in 5/10/15 minutes.

Law / Extortion or a Business Model [6]

If the car is registered in Poland you are bound to have insurance always and Insurance companies automatically renew there policy.If you have renewed your policy just send them the renewal policy of that period with another company and you will be off the hook or get insured for that period with cheaper company or you will owe them legally.

Worse was to see his eyes blinking in shock and he was alive.I just felt helpless to help him somehow.

I thought there was mandatory jail term for convicted drunk drivers in Poland.As I heard its 1 year or so,I even saw a youtube viseo where a new father was in jail for DWI.

My first car was 1976 Chevy Omega,2 door,a used one with 80k miles and paid 400$ and sold for 650$ and now they go for 50,60k.Those days 80k miles were a lot,unlike cpl 100k now.

I will agree to that as my son admitted drinking in Poland at age 14,but its not a common sight in Warsaw,honestly even the local drunks that help in parking are sober enough to guide lol,Poland has changed a lot and I have to admit that people are becoming law abiding more then Americans though

UK, Ireland / Polish drink-driving murderer sentenced to 5.5 years in prison [99]

I have been coming to Poland 21 years and never known or seen a drunk driver,most people are responsible and I think USA has more drunk drivers then in Poland,I maybe wrong by the figures but that is my practical experience.

Law / Bus ticket fine in Poland (Warsaw) - what if I don't pay the fine? [36]

Now the inspectors in civil dress take out there ID cards from under the shirts hanging from there neck and start checking tickets with a electronic machine(all you have to do is scan the ticket with there scanner) and when the Tram/Bus/Metro stops they stand by the random door and scan tickets.If you are caught travelling without or invalid ticket you can pay then by credit card or take the ticket issued on your identification to pay later.I cant tell you the amount of fine as I always follow the law lol except on PF lol.

Real Estate / Notice period with rental contract of flats in Poland [15]

8000pln= 2000Euros roughly,I doubt that,just ignore there mails,dont respond.One good thing is that they are ready for 8000pln, worse case there is a way if they ever even do put it on your credit(I say 10% chances they will) and you need credit and this becomes a issue,then just deposit 2000 euros in an attorney trust account and tell the bank the case is in dispute and they will issue you the credit.After 2/3 months tell your attorney to release the funds.That is in extreme case,I doubt if that will ever happen,and dont let this little sh*it bother you.
