USA, Canada / Can a Canadian Female Drive in Poland?? [30]
I am a Canadian who has driven in poland several times. Each I got the IDL through CAA here in Canada. Was pulled over once for not having my day lights on. My wife who is Polish explained things. There was another time when it was just a routine check from driving while impaired. I will say that in case the officer said to my wife it was that we had the IDL as I would have been given a ticket. If you want to risk problems that is your choice but it is something that I unnecessarily avoid. As for driving, there are idiots over there as well as anywhere else. The younger ones tend to be more speedy but I find this in most places. Overall driver are respectful outside the cities. I found Warsaw a little crazy but took my time and got to where I was going in every case. After the first time my driving became better due familiarity of roads etc.
