Why should you do a category B driver’s license before September 2026? The “Lauto” driving school from Warsaw indicates what changes in the regulations this year will bring

As a driving school from Warsaw, we will tell this story to the warning… It happened in January this year, when the new regulations came into force. Patrick, an experienced driver aged 40, drove his sedan into the parking lot of the company he worked in.

It probably wouldn’t be surprising if it wasn’t for the fact that he was driving a zigzag and constantly honking on other drivers who wanted to park. It was morning and people were in a hurry to work, but when he showed up in the parking lot, everyone stood wry looking at the unusual event.

Patrick alternated and slowed down, nervously gesturing on pedestrians and throwing profanity at them. Finally, someone from the crowd flew up to him as he stopped and got into an altercation with a colleague from the company, then opened the door of his car and pulled the keys out of the ignition.

A man reached for his phone and called the police, who showed up remarkably quickly. Patrick at the sight of the police officers paled and softened. He voluntarily underwent a sobriety test by the first police officer. Its result was more than 3.4 per mile of alcohol in the body.

Meanwhile, the second officer, who checked his data in the police car, reported that Patrick was in the system as a road recidivist with two active driving bans and revoked permissions…

How did the story of the intoxicated driver turn out? About that in a moment. First, we will explain what changes in the regulations the year 2026 brought and why it is worth making a category B license before September…

What has changed since January 1, 2026? Driving school from Warsaw indicates what drivers should know

Since the beginning of the year, there has been a tightening of regulations for drivers of vehicles. And so they have fallen more responsibility or harsher consequences for the most dangerous offences. In addition, the duties of drivers have been clarified.

Thanks to these changes, prison can threaten not only the perpetrator of the accident, but also for participation in illegal races, failure to comply with the court ban on driving or for a particularly dangerous ride.

What changes have taken place in the Penal Code? OSK from Warsaw indicates what drivers can be punished with a mandate

If we take part in illegal races involving at least two vehicles, we will face punishment.
If we deliberately put the car in the skid or detachment of the wheels from the surface during illegal rallies, we will answer from article 178c, as well as the organizer of these races.
If we grossly exceed the speed limit, violate the rules of traffic and expose other people to immediate danger of loss of health or life, then we will commit the crime of bravado driving from article 178d.
If we deliberately slip the vehicle or lead to loss of contact between the wheels and the surface, in the light of article 86c, we will commit the offense.
If we are in the role of spectators of these illegal races, we will also face a penalty from article 52aa.
If we plan to organize a rally in the open, which concerns more than ten vehicles, we need to notify the relevant municipal authority.

What changes have occurred in the penalty point tariffer? The OSK from the capital indicates how many penalty points the driver will pay

If we cause an accident in an illegal race, driving a vehicle despite a driving ban or grossly exceeding the speed limit, we can collect 15 penalty points.
If we use the vehicle in a way that threatens the safety of other traffic participants or causes a traffic hazard due to so-called drifting or driving on the rear wheel, we are threatened with 12 penalty points in the event that a collision occurs during their time (if not, 10 penalty points are provided).
It is worth bearing this in mind that the limit of points after which we will lose the right is 24 points, and in the case of young drivers with a license for less than a year: 20 points.

What other rules have come into effect since the New Year? The driving school from Warsaw indicates what drivers should pay special attention to

From now on, the ambulance can also use buses without the use of sound and light signals.
In addition, electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles can move on the buspas by 31 December 2027.
Some more serious offences will no longer be subject to a reduction in penalty points after completing the course in WORD.
The practical exam in WORD may be interrupted before all the prescribed tasks are performed if the behavior of the examinee endangers the life or health of the examiner or other traffic participant.
Obtaining a driving license will be under the new rules, which we have already written about in an earlier article.

Who has to ride in a protective helmet? The driving school from Warsaw indicates what changes in the regulations apply to a bicycle or an electric scooter

From March 3, 2026, the age of a child traveling with an electric scooter or a personal transport device has been increased to the age of 13.
If the child is in the care of an adult, he can use an electric scooter under the age of 13.
People up to the age of 16 will have to wear a protective helmet when moving by bicycle, electric scooter or other personal transport device.
You can transport a child under the age of 7 by bicycle, provided that he will wear a protective helmet and we will protect them in an additional saddle, car seat or in a trailer adapted to the carriage of people.
If we decide on the last two variants, we do not have to dress the child in a protective helmet, it is enough that we fasten them with a seat belt.
The new rules prohibit the carriage of a child by a bicycle with a drive in a trailer to protect them from burning exhaust gas from an exhaust pipe facing him.

Why should you make a category B license before starting a new school year? The driving school from Warsaw explains what changes will come into effect on September 3, 2026

Firstly, because from September 3, 2026, every driver obtaining a category B driving licence for the first time will be covered by a trial period.

What are the main rules of this trial period?

Duration. The standard is 2 years for adults. For 17-year-olds, this period will extend to 3 years, unless they reach the age of 20 earlier.
Ruthless sobriety. There is a limit of 0.0‰ alcohol in the body.
Speed limits. Slower driving – up to 50 km/h in the built-up area, 80 km/h outside it and 100 km/h on motorways and expressways (for the first 8 months).
Punishment points and training. After exceeding 12 points, paid practical training in ODTJ is required. The commission of two offences extends the trial period by another 2 years.
Vehicle designation. The need to place a sticker with a “green leaf” on the car window for the first 8 months.
Restrictions for 17-year-olds. To the age of majority driving only with an experienced passenger (at least 25 years, driving license for 5 years) and a ban on working as a courier or taxi driver.

Secondly, because the penalty for driving after stopping the driver’s license will be tightened. Earlier, when the driver was driving after stopping the license for three months (for example, for speeding by more than 50 km/h), then his driver’s license was retained for an additional three months. From now on, his powers will be fully revoked for a period of five years.

Summary. Driving school from Warsaw reveals how the story from the first paragraph turned out

Patrick was brought before a high court and heard a conviction:

„In the light of the new regulations,” said the judge, „I acknowledge the guilty of the charges presented and I pronounce a lifetime ban on you from driving motor vehicles, I impose on you a penalty of one year and two months of absolute imprisonment, the obligation to pay a benefit of 10 thousand zlotys to the Victims’ Relief Fund and a reference of 6 thousand zlotys to the State Treasury…

The judge looked at Patrick, who paled momentarily without expecting such a sentence, and thick drops of tears gathered under his eyes.

„I think,” said the judge, „that the head of the driving school from Warsaw, where you were doing a course for category B, to put it mildly, is not proud of you now…

How to buy a used car step by step? The driving school “Lauto” from Warsaw indicates how to hunt down a great opportunityccc

When Wiktor completed the course in the driving school from Warsaw and passed the exam in WORD, he immediately started buying a used car. First he looked for his friends and friends among his friends, then he ventured into OLX.

Every day he browsed dozens of offers, thanks to which he gained skill in the search and determined what kind of car he wanted and what requirements he should meet. In this way, he came to a great opportunity near Warsaw…

Before we get to the finale of this story, let’s explain how step by step Wiktor carried out the purchase process of a used car at a good price…

Step 1. Searching for the right car from the area. Driving school from Warsaw indicates how to find a great opportunity

Wiktor decided to buy a popular car so that there would be no problem with the availability of parts and expensive repairs. For this purpose, he chose the Opel Astra brand. In addition, he determined the price range and the course that interested him, and also looked for opportunities in the immediate area.

The day started by reviewing the offers on the OLX. Because he worked from home, he did it every hour. If there was an opportunity, as in this case, he immediately proceeded to act.

How did the young driver check if he was dealing with an opportunity?

First of all, he carefully reviewed the announcement, both the photo and the text. He definitely wanted to buy his first car from a private retailer, not from a trader. He also knew what tricks clever traders use. Fortunately, the chosen opel was not wet, which could indicate that the trader wanted to enhance the visual effect, because the wet varnish looks better. The interior of the car also did not look very nice, but it was neat. The text of the announcement was not written by a copywriter, it was natural and unpretentious. Wiktor also glanced at whether a salesman named Kazik also exhibited other cars or provided services in the field of automotive. He didn’t find anything like that.
Secondly, the boy reached for the phone and phoned the number indicated in the announcement. At first, he said he was calling about the car, but he didn’t tell me what he was talking about. If he had come across a trader, he would probably have asked which car he was interested in. As it turned out, Kazik came from the village and was the first owner of the opel astra, whom he serviced in Poland. He confirmed that the car was accident-free and gave his VIN number. Witek arranged with him that in two hours he would come to him to finalize the transaction. It’s just that the boy knew that if this was a real opportunity, the announcement would soon disappear from OLX…
Thirdly, the young driver made screenshots of the announcement to secure himself in case of later problems with the lack of memory of the seller. And he also used the portal ” autoDNA ” , where by entering the VIN number of the car from the announcement he obtained for a fee information about his insurance, accident or theft history.

Step 2. Self-check the car on site. Driving school from Warsaw indicates what to look for

When Victor arrived at the scene, the opel was waiting for him in the barn. Immediately the boy proceeded to pre-verify the copy.

How did the young driver check the condition of the car?

First of all, he took with him a meter of paint thickness. He knew that cars usually have a paint thickness of 90 to 150 microns, and in cavities from 40 to 80. And so the values in the range of 150 to 300 microns indicate re-varnishing, and even higher, that a putty was used. He especially pointed out whether it does not occur on the roof, in the trunk and in the alcoves, and whether the varnish has the same shade everywhere.
Second, he glanced under the hood at the engine. And such a clean engine could mean the seller wanted to hide the leaks. He also checked what color the oil is: whether it is worn, which would indicate poor use of the car. Then he started the car to listen to the engine, or if there are any taps. He waited for the car to warm up to assess whether the motor was not heating up and whether the cooling system was working well. He pointed out whether they were on fire, which could herald costly repairs.
Thirdly, he glanced at the interior of the car, which should not look better than a new one. If so, it is a sign that someone is trying to cover up the high mileage of the car. Similarly with scented Christmas trees: if there are a lot of them, perhaps it is a car after a flood.
Fourth, he did a test drive. During its time, he checked the operation of the clutch, gearbox, engine operation or brakes. He pointed out whether there are any taps, as well as how the air conditioning and electric equipment work.
Fifth, he checked the documents: the registration certificate and the vehicle card, and also glanced at the previous purchase invoices in the showroom.

Step 3. Order a car inspection from professionals. Driving school from Warsaw indicates where you can check the car

Although Victor did not notice anything disturbing, he wanted the specialists to verify that the car had no surprises. And so he had a choice of inspections at the sheet metal, mechanic, in ASO or by professionals who will get to the place and check the car.

The boy chose ASO because the car was several years old. As it turned out, the total cost of such inspections amounted to about 550 zł. The history of the vehicle was free. Although the price list of the inspection did not contain the „test drive” box, the boy persuaded the service mechanic to ride the opel and assess the condition in which he was.

How was the control in the ASO?

Oil leaks have been checked.
The engine status has been determined.
The chassis was inspected.
Computer diagnostics were carried out.
The thickness of the varnish was measured.
Complete documentation of visits to the site has been disclosed.
It was informed whether the warranty is valid because all inspections were done.

Step 4. Conclusion of a car purchase agreement. The driving school from Warsaw indicates how to effectively finalize the transaction

Although Wiktor already knew that he wanted to buy this opel, he decided to beat the price. At the time of his return, he exchanged things for Kazik that he would have to do by giving him a price list from the ASO. Due to the fact that these were trivialities, which did not require urgent action and the fact that Wiktor tried to beat the already low price, Kazik became furious.

When they returned to the farm, another customer was waiting for them. This man offered to take Opel to the diagnostic station, and then – if everything is OK – he will buy a car without breaking its price. Kazik agreed to this proposal.

How was the inspection at the diagnostic station?

The clearances were checked with jerks and a shock absorber tester, unmasking the clearances in the suspension.
Shock absorbers and brakes were inspected, the car was viewed from the bottom, checking whether it adorned the floor with a transverse weld along the threshold.
For 100 zlotys (plus 50 zlotys for inspection) the validity of the registration certificate was extended.
In addition, the potential buyer checked the history of the vehicle using a free government portal.

Immediately after the review, the man concluded a contract with Kazik to buy the sale of opel and sat behind his wheel, getting ready for the return road. The shocked Victor stood by the barn, with his mouth wide open. Then the buyer lowered the glass and said to the boy,

“My instructor from the LAUTO Warsaw driving school was right that such occasions come quickly and leave even faster, so you have to act quickly, not argue about a few PLN…
