Headlights of low beams are to be put on once the vehicle is used whether at night or during the day. These requirements started on April 2007. Motorcycles drivers are also required to put on low beam headlights when they are driving their motorcycles. Motorists are allowed to make calls only with hands free devices and not with their mobile phones. If you are driving in a built-up area, you are required to maintain a speed limit of 50 kilometers per hour unless otherwise stated.

When driving your vehicle, bear mind that traffic rules favor pedestrian on zebra crossing. The rules require motorists to stop their vehicles on such crossing for pedestrians to pass regardless of the number of pedestrians involved. Jay-walking is not allowed. If you want to cross any major roads, you should make sure that you are at a recognised crossing point before you can cross. Jaywalking can be punished with an imposition of fine.

Tolls are collected on certain national roads as well as motorways and expressways. The collection of these tolls started on July 2011. Check on online for detailed information about this new system of toll collection.

The land has a strict law on drink driving. Driving with a blood alcohol level that is higher than 0.2 mg/ml is an offense. The required alcohol level in your blood is lower than the European Union average blood alcohol level. To maintain this requirement, you should not take up to a unit of alcohol. The implication of this is that the land is not tolerant drink driving at all. Motorists who are guilt of drink driving are fined and they can be handed prison sentence in certain circumstances. Drink driving law is also extended on cyclists. If you are residing there or you visit it and you want to drive yourself, it is advisable that you keep from alcoholic beverage whenever you want to drink to avoid being guilt of drink driving offense.

Education

The Polish educational system is well developed and it is highly affordable. There are public, private and international schools. Nationals of other lands receive free tuition education in the public schools. But if you wish to send your children to an international school where English curriculum is taught or a private school, you have to pay the school fees they charge you. The majority of the private schools are available in Warsaw and other big cities such as Krakow, Lodz, Wroclaw and Gdansk. The land has universities as well as institutions of higher learning that offer certain programmes of studies in English language. Bear in mind that the language of instruction in the public schools is Polish. If you want to further your education, you can enroll for an English program in any of these universities or institution of higher learning.

Finance

UK nationals and indeed every other person regardless of their nationality are required to pay their income taxes. There is unlimited tax obligation for individuals who are residing there and have residency permit. This means that you have to pay your taxes no matter where the income is made from even outside Poland. However, if you are not a resident, taxes are levied only on the income you make in Poland which means that you have limited tax obligation. The taxes as already mentioned will be levied and deducted on your monthly income directly.

Bear in mind that the requirements for immigration and entry into the land are likely going to change for the UK citizens following the recently concluded referendum in the UK popularly known as the Brexit in which the greater population of the UK electorate voted to leave the European Union. At the moment, the new UK government has not invoked the relevant article of the EU that will enable them to pull out from the EU completely. They have a maximum of two years from the time of the referendum to pull out otherwise the EU will cancel their membership by themselves. When UK eventually pulls out of EU, countries of EU are likely going to amend their immigration requirements for the UK nationals and they are going to enter into certain diplomatic agreement with the UK. Until that is done, the status quo is upheld.
