Road Traffic Law and Safety
Focus on the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym) and the Code of Petty Offences. Know the blood-alcohol thresholds: the offence of driving under the influence starts at 0.2‰ (0.2 g/l), the aggravated state at 0.5‰, and the rules on the mandatory withdrawal of driving licences and vehicle seizure in the most serious cases. Learn the priority rules (right-hand rule, priority of trams, roundabouts, uncontrolled junctions), speed limits in built-up and non-built-up areas, and the mandatory equipment of vehicles.
Learn the catalogue of offences against road safety in the Criminal Code (art. 173–180): causing a traffic accident, driving while intoxicated, fleeing the scene. Know the duty to render assistance and to call emergency services, and the rules on the scene of an accident: securing the site, warning triangles, and the obligation to remain.
Traps: confusing the 0.2‰ and 0.5‰ thresholds; assuming a low blood-alcohol level is legal; mixing the criminal offence (art. 178a) with the petty offence; forgetting that pedestrians have priority at zebra crossings but not everywhere. Rule of thumb: for any alcohol-related question, remember the two thresholds - 0.2‰ opens criminal liability for driving under influence, 0.5‰ aggravates it - and that a driver under 0.2‰ may still face a petty offence.
