Twelve Ways to Divide Poland

...quite funny:

hahaha drunken brit chavs! wipe them off the map!

The driving one is spot on.

That is a negative stereotype, of course. :)

Heh:) "Cannot into Space"....:)

Cannon into Space? it sounds dramatic.

Bad drivers everywhere? It is obsolet, just not up to date.

Yes. Accident rates are still high.

Poles drive better and better and have more motorways.

No, the accident statistics show how bad driving is there, very high accident rates, Among the highest in Europe.

@jon357
Number of fatalities in road accidentd in Poland:
2019 - ca. 2900
2020 - ca. 2500
2021 - ca. 2250
Soon Polish roads will be very safe.

Yes, still very high.

Driving standards need to be improved.

In Poland they are low.

@jon357
You must know that Poland has a transit traffic of many wild foreign drivers.

The locals are bad enough.

The overwhelming majority of drivers are not driving through to Belarus or wherever. They are local. Accident levels are very high in Poland; it is not a nation of good drivers.

Those very few who are just passing through tend to use specific routes. Accidents, as you know, are everywhere there.

Polish drivers are, without question, some.of rhe.worst in Europe.
It has to be seen to be believed!
I won't drive in Poland any more after what I have seen.
Even in the UK, Poles are regularly in the news for their appalling driving.
Often ending in death.

One day all bad drivers in Poland will die out.

Given the high death rate this is likely.

@Miloslaw
You drive on the wrong side in UK.

Those Europe`s Ultima Thules are intriguing. Brits have wrong side for driving while Eastern nations like Ukraine have different width of railway tracks than Europe and all trains have to change their wheel system at the border. But it is the heritage of the Soviets and Ukrainians have already vowed to change it.

Everybody knows, the trucks in russia are on the dick bigger.😁

No, we drive on the left side.

@Miloslaw - left side....
Exactly, but those on the right hand have priority at the intersection, as in our( normal) case.
⬆️↗️➡️↘️⬇️↙️⬅️↖️⬆️

Not so normal. Much of the world drives on the left and accident statistics show that this is better.

However, there are no such high speed police chases in Europe as in GB or US.

The UK is in Europe and there aren't many police chases.

And the accident levels are very low; through safer driving and driving on the correct side.

I remember that in London, when I was crossing a pedestrian crossing, cars always wanted to run over me because they were coming from the wrong side, i.e. from the right.

And through roads so narrow half of the time you drive single file.

Yes. It always seemed normal to me when I lived there and really became noticeable for me after I'd left and started to go back for visits.

Many are like that due to being old and can't easily be widened due to historic buildings. Others are built that way to reduce drivers' speed which usually works.

They can say what they like about people in the UK, Ireland, Malta, Cyprus, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and a few other places driving on the left however accident levels are low in most of those countries.

I read that in pre-car days most countries had horse traffic on the left. Then the vile Napoleon changed sides in places he invaded and the even viler Hitler did the same.

Presumably independent pre-partition Poland was the same.

@jon357
Not in India. Accident level in India is very high. 2019 over 150k fatalities.

As mentioned, in most. Certainly in the European countries and in East Asia, there are fewer accidents in countries who drive, like the UK, Ireland etc, on the correct side.

Since we're dividing Poland, although Polish driving standards are extremely low, I wonder which zabór has the worst accident rates.
