Driving in Poland is not dissimilar to many of the other Eastern and Central European countries. Whilst there has been a great degree of social change over the past few years this is only slowly filtering through to local motorists.

City Driving

• There are very few highways in Poland and the 'normal' roads connecting cities are three lanes making it difficult to overtake

Country Driving

• The police are very active in villages, looking for those who are speeding

• Unlit horse-drawn wagons can also be found on country roads

• There are large numbers of horse-drawn wagons carrying agricultural products on the public roads during harvest periods
