Right not riding in Poland then.

I can't watch that kind of stuff and it puzzles me as to why any motorcyclist would want to. It's enough to know in the back of your mind that it can happen, without seeing it in graphic detail.

Seeing the dead fly through the air learns oneself to slow down near any cars,stationary or not,,,a very good lesson to be learned.


All are cars or vans except one,,you gotta see the one early on where the lamp post jumps out and smashes a biker then burns his bike,,see how fast the rider recovers when he sees flames.

Its more a case of seeing where others go wrong and what to look out for, granted a lot of it is just idiocy but if you learn something then its worthwhile

i've seen this before. in 90% of these accidents, it's the rider at fault. exessive speed mainly and failure to judge, ride to suit the conditions etc.

[adeejaysdelight]

I agree with caretaker, the riders are at fault for a lot of these.

nearly as scary as the pissed up Russians the other week

+2 on the fault of the rider for most of them. A ridiculous usage of speed through junctions is a major factor too! These idiots were flying through junctions, no wonder myopic old car drivers couldn't see them. :eek

Eh Strogenhoff, theres a fly on my windscreen,,,no Vodkafoof,thats a motorbike rider!!! :eek




Yep,,just keep it safe near other traffic,,you nor they know whats going on.

horrible for sure, all are seemingly avoidable with due care etc. The guy waiting at the lights who gets rear ended aint though....

now then, why do we  in the UK ,accept Polish driving licences as any validity of driving proficiency !!

On the other hand, we have some pretty idiotic home grown drivers/riders in the UK too, who can go to Poland and cause mayhem. Is this a reason to endorse a European or even world system of driving standards/licensing?

If you look at the number plates on those videos, virtually all of them are Russian plates (mostly Moscow in fact).  So although the video is posted on a Polish website, the footage is of Russian nutcases (whose licences aren't accepted here......)
