Can you drive a passenger car if you hold an expired driving licence?

Description

Art. 3 para. 1 pt. 1 of the Act on Vehicle Drivers (Journal of Laws of 2011, No. 30, item 151, as amended).

Explanation

Correct answer: No.

No, you cannot drive a vehicle if your driving licence has expired. Such a document is invalid and does not confirm that you are authorised to drive. According to Art. 4 para. 1 of the Act on Vehicle Drivers, the document confirming the entitlement to drive is a valid driving licence. Driving with an invalid document is an offence.
