Automobiles vs. Pedestrians in Poland

and how many kilometeres of cycle paths beside such roads have you seen in Poland if any? - don't you think people would be using cycle paths if they were present

what do you do if you need to go to the neighbouring village on the same road - go through the mud of the field roads?

I've nearly killed several invisible cyclists and my nightmare is having to stand in a courtroom while relatives scream at me for killing their loved one.

What the hell do you think it means?

I reject your statement on the grounds that it actually doesn't make sense.

Thanks to the very high skills of Polish drivers we have so little accidents on Polish roads.

But blaming just drivers is very naïve and is only a proof of ignorance on this topic

wow, you are mad indeed:)

Madder than Mad Jack McMad, the winner of this year's Mr Madman competition.

my Polish friends and relatives admit on the daily basis that there are so many irresponsible and really bad drivers it Poland then comes Monia who claims that it is otherwise. Fekkign Twilight Zone I say;).

I am waiting for your explanation, what you meant by „less organized„?

The lasts stats conducted in 2009 show that we had only slightly over 56 000 road accidents , while Germany had 397 671 accidents .

Even if that is true, one must ask if all accidents are reported in both countries and one should defer to accidents causing death as indicators of safety first and foremost and then serious injury and then look at all acccidents to complete the picture.

Five years after Poland Joined the European Union, the country is still undergoing large scale economic and social changes. Economic growth over the past decade and increased trade have led to a rapid increase in motorisation rates and traffic.

As a result, road crash death and injury rates are also much higher than the EU average.
...

Though Poland has undergone rapid motorization in the last decade, concerted efforts of government, civil society and the private sector has led to considerable progress, with the number of road traffic fatalities decreasing by 1/3 in the last decade. In 2006, for example, there were 46,876 crashes resulting in injuries (3,7% less fewer in 2005).

Still, Poland’s road crash statistics are high compared to the rest of Europe as road crashes continue to take a huge toll on Polish society and on the economy. Annual costs of road crashes are estimated at PLN 30 billion.

Whatever makes you happy Monia, but please never ever discuss, or attempt to discuss anything serious, which has anything to do with the loss of human life in the future.

I feel sorry for all those people who die in car crashes in Poland. Useless.

Not that strange really: there are some Poles who always always always defend anything and everything Polish whenever a non-Pole says anything even slightly negative about the Polish thing. You know the kind I mean, the ones who say things like "Samantha Geimer was a prostitute".

I'd suggest wearing a fluorescent jacket and having lights on the bike for a start. I've nearly killed several invisible cyclists and my nightmare is having to stand in a courtroom while relatives scream at me for killing their loved one. The authorities could do a lot more to improve this situation.
