At least 30% of drivers in Poland are on their mobile phones at any one time. It is technically illegal but nobody cares and no-one has ever been prosecuted for it. Even at great speed and when overtaking they will not put their phones down. They are aggressive and ungracious, they will accelerate in order to prevent another car to change lanes in front of them or to allow a vehicle out. They have no patience and overtake on both the left and right. The moment Poles get behind the wheel they become arseholes.
On the road (as in life) I treat other road users and pedestrians as I would like to be treated. But I am alone. Hostility on Polish roads in difficult for foreigners to bear and few of them drive... Poles are just so nasty to each other. The death rate is 260% higher than in Great Britain where there are far more cars and far less space. Car wreckage in Eastern Europe is a common sight.
I love driving Esmeralda but it is a shame that Polish motorists make it so unpleasant.
