So far, besides snowmobile or driving with icy windows The driver could get 20 and a maximum of 500 PLN of the ticket. Now the advanced punishment line has increased to PLN 3000. The fresh ticket and punishment point tariffmaker is guilty.

What punishments endanger snowmobile drivers?

Keeping the car clean shouldn't just be a pedant domain. It should, and even must, be a feature of any driver who cares for his or her safety and another participants. In this cold time, let's effort to snow off any of our cognition of the regulations that we can get a ticket in winter.

Winter in Poland is slow beginning to appear with full force. The first frosts and snowfalls have already appeared. This means that one more time the alleged winter parking tickets will apply on the roads. but this year they'll be definitely taller. It's all due to a fresh ticket and punishment point tariff.

For driving a tanker, too.

What's a tanker ride? It's a situation in which a driver moves his car, with a tiny crack scratched in an icy window. The driver's field of sight is then very limited. In specified a situation, a policeman in the winter period 2023 will not hesitate to exhibit a mandate of up to PLN 3000.

Not only windows but besides lights can be icy, which makes the car little visible on the road, especially during snowfall. He's threatening to do it. PLN 300 and 8 punishment points.

Driving snow on a car is simply a violation!

The state of the road vehicle is clearly regulated by Article 66, point 1, of the Road Code, paragraphs 1 and 5.

It follows that: ‘The vehicle active in the movement is to be so constructed, equipped and maintained to usage it:

1. does not endanger the safety of persons driving it or another traffic participants, does not violate traffic order and does not harm anyone;
5. provides a adequate field of imagination for the driver and easy, convenient and reliable usage of the devices for driving, braking, signalling and traffic lighting while being watched.”

Moving a snowmobile violates both these points for simple reasons. First of all, the driver is exceptionally unfavorable. There is small visible through the snow-covered bodywork, so snow removal cannot be limited to the front and rear windows only, but besides to the side windows.

Under highly dangerous conditions (sleeping snow, ice on the road) the driver will be hard to get out of force even with all safety rules, let alone the situation erstwhile snowy windows effectively reduce visibility.

Timetable with engine running

When snowing the vehicle many drivers leave the engine moving to warm the interior. In this case, 2 laws are broken. The first is the ban on leaving the car with the engine moving in built-up areas – in this case the punishment is PLN 100. However, this is an highly uncommon situation erstwhile police punish drivers on this basis. The second regulation is to ban the usage of the car erstwhile engine work involves excessive exhaust emissions and noise. This could consequence in a fine of up to PLN 300.

Mandate for dirty licence plates

In winter, the vehicle's licence plate gets dirty very quickly. In particular, the licence numbers in the back of the car become illegible. And as much as we usually remember, we can get a ticket for an uncleaned snow car, and we forget about the plates very often. On the another hand, if there is mud or snow on the licence plate to specified an degree that it is illegible, then we are dealing with a violation for which there is simply a penalty.

How much do we pay? It depends mostly on whether we're lucky. However, if this is not “our day” and the police officer will qualify our misconduct to violate the provisions of Article 60(1)(2) of the Act Road traffic law (not allowed to cover lights and signalling devices, registration plates or another required plates or signs that should be visible), then the ticket can be even 500 PLN!
