Report: Record-Safe Year 2025 on Polish Roads and New Regulations

2025 was the safest year in history on Polish roads, with the number of fatalities dropping by over 12%. The government summarizes investments in new roads and legal changes that are already in force or will come into effect. For drivers, this means stricter penalties for dangerous driving, new rules for young drivers, and a helmet requirement for children on bicycles and scooters.
Key points
A category B driving license can be obtained from the age of 17, but for the first 6 months, driving must be supervised by an experienced driver.
New, severe penalties have been introduced: a lifetime driving ban for driving despite a court prohibition, and vehicle confiscation for drunk drivers with at least 1.5 per mille of alcohol in their blood.
Children up to 16 years of age are required to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle, electric scooter, or personal transport device.
A driving license will be suspended for exceeding the speed limit by more than 50 km/h on a single-carriageway road outside urban areas.
Construction of nearly 400 km of new expressways was completed, tenders for another 390 km were announced, and hundreds of dangerous railway crossings were modernized.
