Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court convicted the defendant of driving a vehicle without the required license category and imposed a fine of 1,500 PLN. The defendant argued he believed his license was valid, but the court found he had lost his category B rights in 2018. Consequently, the court ruled that the statutory definition of driving without authority was met and the penalty was mandatory.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 94 § 1 k.w.; Art. 4 ust. 1 pkt 1 lit. a ustawy o kierujących pojazdami: Driving a motor vehicle without the required license category constitutes an offense regardless of whether the driver possesses a valid document, as expiration or loss of rights renders the authority non-existent at the time of driving.
