Travel / Driving lights in Poland [25]
i think maybe you're thinking about RAMming them with a Dodge? ;)
you know, i do that here on two lane highways all the time.. i think it should be a law here, imho.
there is his answer, most likely.
what are those?
i like it.. i also wish they'd do that here in the states... but nooooo.. in MT, no speed limit during daylight but something stupidly slow at night..
in WI they have seasonal speed limits.. faster 3/4 of the year and slower in the winter... i kind of like that too..
now many bikes have pulsating head lights.. the rear lights are still way too small though..
that has nothing to do with anything.. the laws are about SAFETY... can you believe it? ;) :D
just buy a hummer h2 and run the cops over next time...

I don,t know what the figures are for Poland , but i know that when they made headlights compulsary for motocycles in the USA the accident rate went right down....for the first year , then went back up to the previous rate once people got used to them and began not to notice them as much.....
now many bikes have pulsating head lights.. the rear lights are still way too small though..
LED's and therefore better for the environment.

Not bad, but I dont think men "suck" at cleaning, they just do a god awful first attempt so you never ask them again..cunning swines they are!

first, you may want to drop referring to the capital in this germanic manner.. you will definitely overpay the taxi fairs if you keep saying that..
in another thread someone said 35zl.. but that's for taxi and not taki or something else that is not a "legal" taxi service
use the busses... most run every 10-15minutes plus you normally have multiple busses that will take you to the same location just via a different route..
dutch
yeah, great advice.. drivers never have change so you'll have to overpay..
yup.. that's why you should just buy 10 or whatever.. i don't know if they have small booklets of tickets like that..
unless you're traveling across the city..

do the bus... the taxi aren't always safe.. public transportation in Warsaw is excellent better then most of USA..
pay with a CC whenever you can.. not a debit card. having some cash is necessary though and like they all said above.. do the ATMs.
jeans are a dead giveaway you're a foreigner/american and thus peoole will try to rip you off... guaranteed.. don't flash cash, be ware of pickpockets.. write down the numbers of CC help lines in case you need to call them to cancel the cards or get duplicates.. try to see if the hotel has a vault where you could leave your passport and other valuables..
even though clothing is on the expensive side, you may want to buy some wardrobe in PL to blend in better.. polish ladies are rather trendy.. it is europe after all.. also google some pictures of polish people and see what they wear..
i'd use an umbrella on rainy days..

if it shows i am wrong then i am fine with that..
there will be more data coming out over the next year or two.. i'm not familiar with russian investigative protocol but it takes years in the USA to get the exact reason for a plane crash..
you seem to think they'd have a choice.. russia isn't that powerful
maybe but your mistrust of them doesn't let you look at things in normal light.
dig out my early posts here and tell me i haven't been right from the start.. plus, you are tend to see where things aren't, nothing that i am going to say is going to sway you one bit.. i based my stand on what i saw right from the start.. and like i said, i doubt anything out there will change the results.
oh come on now.. seanus knows that russians are monkeying with the evidence..
many pilots/planes land via the auto pilot.. so that seems totally reasonable.. if you land and feel a jerk when touching down, that is most likely the autopilot.. pilots are much smoother.
it sure seems they weren't paying attention to the instruments.. and i bet they were looking out the windows and thus slammed the ground as the fog was way heavy..
and way off kilter.. the missed the runway by a "mile"
bingo but that won't stop seanus from not understanding why..
What other details don't you know? Are those other details relevant to it being pilot error or not? Are those as of yet unknown details evidence? ;) ;) You want that evidence to corroborate your hypothesis?

When the autopilot disengaged, it's possible that they attempted to pull up. It's not possible to say from the voice recorder - but there may be a record of their final actions on the other black box. Either way, they had what, 6 seconds to pull up? No way was that plane going to react fast enough!
oh come on now.. seanus knows that russians are monkeying with the evidence..
I still don't understand this part. How did they get so low with autopilot on?
many pilots/planes land via the auto pilot.. so that seems totally reasonable.. if you land and feel a jerk when touching down, that is most likely the autopilot.. pilots are much smoother.
I just can't, for the world of me, understand why they dipped. I've heard some nonsense about terrain dip but that would have been a foolish mistake.
it sure seems they weren't paying attention to the instruments.. and i bet they were looking out the windows and thus slammed the ground as the fog was way heavy..
As in the direction of flight? As far as we know right now (and it can't be said for certain, the data hasn't been published yet) - they were on course for the runway. But certainly, from what's been pieced together, they came in way too steep in the final seconds of flight.
and way off kilter.. the missed the runway by a "mile"
Well, the dip in the terrain is there, as independently verified by different sources. The crew would have been aware of it - but given the situation, the captain may simply have allowed it to escape his mind in the hope of spotting the runway.
bingo but that won't stop seanus from not understanding why..

I'd understand a quick emergency session but why didn't he pull up and cut his losses? No pilot could seriously think that they could negotiate a whole set of trees. Just incidentally, what were those shooters doing on the ground?

How about the change of words from Jezu to Kur*a?

I have more than once heard Pol-Ams returning from their 1st trip to Poland say that when they tried to kiss a relative (gender unimportant) on the lips he/she would turn his/her head so it landed on the cheek, then he/she would kiss the other cheek. That confuses some visitors. Is it true that kisses on the lips are reserved solely for lovers in Poland?
