Can you drive the proper motor vehicle for a B1-category driving licence if it is expired?

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 do not have the right to drive a vehicle if the validity of the entitlement for a given category has expired. As can be seen in column 11 of the presented driving licence, the expiry date for category B1 passed on 18.01.2013. Driving a vehicle with an invalid driving licence is treated as driving without a licence and is an offence.
