Horses and Carts are gone
I once saw a man on a bicycle with a cow on a lead.
Whats driving like in Poland?

the roads. Awful,
The main arterial roads are getting better, largely due to EU funding. But driving at night on the smaller roads out of town is lethal. There are no street lights or road markings, combined with the lunar landscape roads and psycho drivers in mark 1/2 VW Golf's mean that unless your trip is absolutely necessary, don't risk it!
Also have you noticed the amount of roads in residential areas in towns and villages that are simply just dirt tracks?
its all so true...
but lets give credit where its due...
at least most drivers in poland do actually indicate which is more than i can say for a lot in this dingy south coast city im holed up in atm

I am always nervous when driving in Poland more so than any other coutry i have ever been to. The cars and lorries coming in the opposite direction whilst overtaking almost give me a heart attack everytime.
- the cars. Horses and Carts are gone and Maluchs are almost gone but there is a new generation of second hand buses, Cinquecentos and Daewoo Matiz as well as that perennial Polish favorite, the drunk unlit cyclist.
What's wrong with a cinquecento damnit? ;)

DRIVING in POLAND
Yeh come on guys lets have it. Ive been driving in Poland for over two years now and I have to say I looooeuuVVVEEE it. Speeding in the outside lane overtaking on the inside ducking and diving overtaking and then braking hard when you see the Police. Its awesome, dont knock it folks we used to complain. Its every man for them selves a real Jungle out there. If you cant beat them join them.
Yes check the left and the right rear, it appears safe to change lanes now, wow hang on a minute theres a Golf GT sth flyinbg up outta no where.

What is the point in checking your mirror, indicating to pull out to overtake, when some P***k is overtaking you on the inside?
