What will a police officer do if, during a roadside inspection,it is established that you have exceeded the speed limit by more than 50 km/h in a built-up area, but this was done in order to save someone's life?

Description

Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2020, item 110, as amended) Art. 135 para. 1aa in conjunction with Art. 135 para. 1 pt. 1a
Explanation

Correct answer: Will not withhold your driving licence.

The police officer will refrain from confiscating the driving licence because acting in a state of necessity to save a human life nullifies the criminality of the act. This is a special circumstance provided for in Art. 135 para. 1aa of the Road Traffic Act. However, the driver must prove that such a situation actually occurred.
