Hello. Perhaps your media voice will help change the situation at the examination area of the Bolesławiec WORD. This area, especially the part used for Category A exams, is one huge dumping ground of stones, sand and potholes, which actually causes accidents during exams, as happened recently. A woman’s motorcycle fell over because of the huge amount of sand at the place where she was supposed to turn around. The exam costs PLN 200, which is not a small amount for 30 minutes of the examiner’s work, plus possible fuel costs if the candidate passes, since in most cases the candidate takes the exam on the motorcycle they trained on. In addition, the sluggishness of the person in charge means that the waiting time for an exam is more than a month, whereas in other centres the testing areas are exemplary and the current waiting time is two weeks at WORD Legnica. Regards.

The Director of the Lower Silesian Road Traffic Centre in Wrocław Dariusz Galik, however, disagrees with the above opinion and allegations. In a telephone conversation with istotne.pl, he assured us that before the start of the Category A examination season, the examination area on Lubańska Street had been cleaned by MZGK in Bolesławiec. The director did not conceal his surprise and admitted that this was the first time he had encountered this kind of complaint about the area in Bolesławiec.

In his opinion, the complaint may stem from the disappointment of failing the exam. As for Category A exams, the examiner conducts six such exams during the day. An additional difficulty in passing the Category A exam is the fact that speed-measuring devices are used in the area. He also admitted that the incident involving loss of balance and the motorcycle falling over took place in April and resulted from the motorcycle’s rear wheel hitting a kerb.

We also spoke about the examination area with instructors from two driving schools in Bolesławiec. They do not share the reader’s opinion about the condition of the area. They admit that the area is indeed old, but it is not as bad as the reader describes, and the trainees manage.

And what do our readers think about the examination area?
