For driving too fast, the Polish opposition leader and former EU Council President Donald Tusk has to surrender his driver's license and pay a fine of the equivalent of 107 euros.

The punishment was appropriate, Tusk announced on Twitter on Saturday.

"I accepted it without discussion." The PAP news agency reported, citing the police, that the officers stopped the 64-year-old on Saturday morning near the town of Mlawa north of Warsaw because he was traveling at 107 kilometers per hour in a town .

50 kilometers per hour are allowed there.

Tusk is the chairman of Poland's largest opposition party, the liberal-conservative Civic Platform.
