Travel / Driving in Poland, are there any rules at all? [149]

When i first came to Poland , i always stopped to let people cross the road on a crossing...

Their reaction was a look of amazement , and they seemed very reluctant to cross the road untill i had driven off...

This is probably due to Polish drivers overtaking any English drivers silly enough to stop at a crossing....

Now i just ignore people stood at crossings , in the same way Polish drivers do...

Please note....Its frowned upon to run anyone over if they are actually on the crossing...

What they did was insist i took my boots off , because the metal dectector bleeped at my metal shoelace ends , while i was doing that , they went through my rucksack and stole the phone...

All i know is...it was in my rucksack before going through the check ...and not afterwards...

My father had many friends from the Afrika korps...

Back in 1942 they were doing their best to kill each other...

I agree with what somebody else already said...

Forgive yes... but to forget is to let it happen again...

I agree , the desert war was very civilised , just opposing forces doing battle , no partisans , no death squads , no Gestapo...

Very different from what was happening in Poland and the rest of Europe...
