Driving abroad with a temporary driver’s license.

Hello, had to give my driver’s license and now get my driver’s license again after all the official stress on 19.12.2011. However, only one preliminary driver’s license. The problem is that I absolutely want to go to my family in Poland to Christmas (there is no train connection to the destination….) According to Google I can not drive with an earlier driver’s license abroad, especially in Holland and France there should be strong problems. But what about Poland ???? Just like me the Polish police know, I think that most policemen would let me go on, whether allowed or not. (just at Christmas) But I would like to take care of myself.
