Life / Driving Offences in Poland - How Fast can you go without being arrested? ;) [56]
Milky - I was once on a bus from Jastrebrie Zdroj to Katowice - a private service and the driver was driving like a madman, the bus swerving from side to side. I am always game for a laugh but that was outright dangerous, so I asked the driver if he could please slow down.
After a range of obscenities I called the Katowice police - who to be fair, did turn up and breathalyse him - but the story is of course that all the passengers on that bus thought I was obviously mental and/or on drugs because they were perfectly satisfied customers.
And Roger - I wasn't scoring points - apologies for that - but you are too liberal here IMO
In all my 30 years of living in England I had seen dead bodies in a smash just the once, akin to the Jim Morrison scenario. In Poland dead corpses are ten a penny - meaning I have personally in 22 years have come across a good ten incidents with spectactularly dismembered body parts - as well as three of my students being brown bread for just going about their business and getting wiped out, one notably a 24 year old who had been admitted for her Bar exams that very day and was happily walking along the pavement outside her middle class gated community.
It happens in Britain too, but the statistics are there for all to see. The Polish authorities clearly do not give a **** - the police do their best, but the legislation is too weak and these criminals deserve a ******* good hiding.
12 points - not 24 - and no exceptions, unlike this idiotic "retraining" cop-out. 4 points for a bust.
Bleeding simple.
In the meantime folks, treat a percentage of Poles behind the wheel as the potential maniacs that they are. And stand well clear.
As for the cities and towns: Passengers need to report bus-drivers if they are driving like bandits.
