Tony2462: I realise that being a eu citizen I dont have to exchange my license but in order for me to ride a motorbike here I need to take a test so how do I do this without exchanging my license?
No chance, sunshine. You want to add categories, you need a Polish licence.
sobieski: By the way, can somebody confirm that even with another EU licence you get points deducted? Belgian licences do not have points, but I heard this is connected to your PESEL ?
Yeah, it's how it works. It's why you have to go to the police station to find out your driving record - it's all through the PESEL.
Of course, if you're stopped for something mundane, like speeding - don't volunteer any information about your PESEL at all and act stupid about it. The beauty of being a foreigner is that you can play dumb and get away with it - after all, they can only add points to a PESEL that they know about.
Quite clever really, especially considering the way that the UK can't add points to foreign licences!
