It's no excuse, but it's better to go with the flow than to make a bloody nuisance of yourself
Hmm, but if everyone 'made a bloody nuisance of themselves' by driving under the speed limit, that would be 'the flow' and roads would be a lot safer.
Start with the man in the mirror, be the change that you want to see.
roads are full of moronic cyclists
Here in Wrocław, some of those morons are on the pavements and come at you at high speed. We're not talking backstreets, but the main streets. They don't want to use the proper cycle lanes running alongside the tram route because, heaven forbid, they might have to wait at a red light to turn into Hallera or Wisniowa. Some of the cyclists here should be prosecuted without a shadow of a doubt.
I've never once been stopped by the Police here and I drive a lot
You're probably a pretty good motorist then, simple as that, because the police stop plenty of drivers here. I see it all the time. I also saw my first ever j-walker (or whatever the word is) get a ticket the other day. Btw a friend got pulled over by the police in an unmarked 4x4 or similar not so long ago for allegedly driving erratically. I was in the car at the time, and it was a local B-road.
I would say that mostly the latter. In Poland a device called CB radio is quite popular among drivers
They stopped being used widely in the UK in the 1980s, although they enjoyed a lot of popularity when they were made legal. I was a breaker, as CB enthusiasts were known, and spent hours on air each weekend and some evenings. Some truckers probably still use them, but the number of breakers has seriously dropped from what I can hear when I try channels 14 or 19 in the UK on occasion. Sometimes just static, nary a voice.
