Registration of right hand drive cars in Poland - possible?

Hello forum members, I remember a few years ago It was not possible to register a right hand drive in poland. However I heard of a guy that was bringing the case to court. I have been unable to find out if he was successful or is it still the case you can not register a right hand drive in poland. I would be grateful for any information.

Currently under review by EU tribunal, who have warned PL that they will face fines if they do not comply with the rest of the EU.

Still not legal.

But on the other hand - do people really want Polish drivers driving RHD vehicles? Of course, they'll snap them up by the thousands because of how much cheaper they are - and given the driving of the average dickhead "Pawel" (thank you, Harry) on roads completely unsuitable for driving fast - who wants it?

It's clearly obvious that the average "superb" Polish driver isn't going to be so lame as to ask his wife if the road is clear ahead or not, he'll just swing out and hope for the best.

They do anyway. They just don't register them here. Which means that those vehicles are not legal (unless they're taken back to UK for the annual MOT) and hence are not insured.

Are British cars cheaper? I was under the impression that better value can be had in Germany or Holland.

You think that they look before pulling out and can correctly judge the distance and care whether they correctly judge the distance? You haven't driven much in Poland!

There's quite a few of them kicking about with no tax disc on show, so it's pretty obvious that they're not legal.

As far as I can tell, yes - the German prices are bumped up a bit because of Poles nearby buying everything in sight. I suppose it makes a change from stealing them ;)

They couldn't care less is my opinion. I can almost, almost understand it when they're by themselves, but when you see them with children in the car - well, it tells you a lot about the mentality!

Standing on the seats seems to be a popular pastime of theirs as well.

No doubt there'll be the usual spike in accidents and deaths this weekend, which always strikes me as very ironic...
