I try to use the car as rarely as possible during the working week. Bike
and bus/metro/rail suffice admirably for day-to-day commuting. Today I
drove to my first meeting at Platan Park and then onto the Park+Ride
(P+R in Polish, not PiJ -
Parkuj i jedż).
En route from Platan Park to Metro Ursynów, I hit upon a monstrous
traffic jam, caused not by a massive return to work, but by a
four-car smash on Puławska.
Horrendous wreckage; someone had changed lanes too fast without
noticing a queue of stationary traffic hiding behind a slow-moving bus.
Returning for the car after work, I beheld yet another smash at Ursynów (
below), another instance of travelling too fast without due care and attention. According to
TVN Warszawa, the driver of this car ran a red light.
Below: Some people are proud of being
piraci drogowi
('road pirates') who drive like complete fools. 99 times out of a
hundred they get to their destination without a problem. Then one day
they cause a fatal accident. Should people displaying such an attitude
be allowed on Poland's public roads?
