Explanation
The question is about the receipt for a driving licence retained for exceeding the speed limit by more than 50 km/h in a built-up area. It entitles you to drive a vehicle for 24 hours from the moment of retention - answer C.
The Road Traffic Act requires a police officer to retain a driving licence issued in Poland, in exchange for a receipt, when the speed limit is exceeded by more than 50 km/h in a built-up area, and such a receipt entitles the holder to drive a vehicle for 24 hours from the moment of retention. This time allows you to drive home or to leave the vehicle in a suitable place. The period of 7 days (answer A) applies, among other things, to a receipt issued because the driving licence has expired, and 72 hours (answer B) does not come from this rule. After that, the starost (head of the district authority) issues a decision to retain the driving licence for 3 months.
Legal basis: Art. 135 para. 1 point 2 letter a and para. 4 and 5 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); Art. 102 para. 1 point 4 and para. 1c of the Vehicle Drivers Act (ustawa o kierujących pojazdami)
