UK, Ireland / Polish drink-driving murderer sentenced to 5.5 years in prison [99]


In fear of a lawsuit most likely.
Same way with seeing what you think is a baby (which turns out to be a doll) strapped in a car seat along side a desolate road.

You stop to assist and out of the ditch from the other side of the road jumps a thief who pistol whips you, steals your money and car.

People have good cause not to stop to try to help in this day and age.


Yes it is, thank this me-ism filled world. :-(

Really ? I don't think so.

Then the sentencing guidelines are not stringed enough.
Prison for five years for third offense seems to get their attention.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]


How many gallons of solid fuel (diesel) does it take to run a generator to produce enough electricity to charge a typical electric car ?
I heard 34 liters. Is this true ?
Electricity doesn't just happen, it has a source: coal, wind, natural gas or solar.
The average electric vehicle needs 33 kilowatt-hours of energy to travel 100 miles (160 km).
A Tesla Model S would require about 286 pounds (130 kilograms) of coal to be burned at the local power plant.
Now let's talk about CO2 emissions of gas powered cars verses electric car use.

UK, Ireland / Polish drink-driving murderer sentenced to 5.5 years in prison [99]

Correct jon, if some old blue haired grandma dripping with gold jewelry gets stopped in her Caddy compared to a punk with tattoo's and piercings gets stopped in a junker while being drunk, guess which one goes to jail ?

Now, back to my original question, "Why are not the bad and drunk drivers in Poland not being taken off the roads ?"


If that is the problem then it seems like that could be easily fixed.
Until then slow the speeders down on those crappy roads and after three speeding tickets you lose your drivers license.
It's like Poland chooses to just deal with the problem without putting any effort into it to make it better. WHY ?

UK, Ireland / Polish drink-driving murderer sentenced to 5.5 years in prison [99]


That's because of the amount of drivers and cars in the U.S. comparatively.
Everyone in the U.S. owns at least one car if not two.
Maybe the problem is not drunk drivers in Poland but just low i.q. drivers in Poland.
Poland has one of the EU's worst road-traffic fatality rates, with 77 deaths per million inhabitants in 2019, according to Eurostat, a figure well above the EU average of 51.

My question is WHY is that ?

UK, Ireland / Polish drink-driving murderer sentenced to 5.5 years in prison [99]


I see this in many of the threads here just how bad drunk and impaired driving is in Poland.
Are the laws not stringed enough to discourage this ?
Does Poland need to increase jail time, increase fines, mandatory humiliation classes, increase in insurance rates.......?
Something seems very wrong to have to tolerate drunks in Poland.
It seems like getting plastered is the accepted National pass time in Poland.
