– We remind you that, at present, the only place where you can verify the number of your penalty points is a police unit. Want to know how many penalty points you have? Come to the police station and ask an officer! – the uniformed officers emphasize.
Recently, several people who had used an offer to check the number of penalty points through companies advertising online reported to the County Police Headquarters in Zgorzelec. Of course, these people received a response very quickly. It was also obvious that the information they received in no way reflected reality.
In one case, a person learned that they had 8 penalty points. The catch was that they did not even have... a driving licence. – Let’s beware of shady companies that offer such services for several dozen złotys. We urge you to read website terms and conditions carefully and not to send paid text messages if you want to obtain information about the number of penalty points accumulated – the police officers say.
Let us note that these companies often obtain personal data from interested parties, such as a PESEL number, address and other information.
