I am from Poland I never used one of them but i don't see them as dangerous.

Scooters and bikes are the most dangerous for own drivers. When laying somewhere on pavements or lawns they are just things... normal people should not be afraid about things as they cannot attack anybody. They make some mess... but life is a kind of mess we should cope with 😉 Soma people use and need them. My freedom is not limited by them and I do not intend to limit other people choices... here you are the Polish view on the topic.

As a Pole, I will write this to all you foreigners. We Poles live very well without you in Poland. That's why Poland is so safe because there are no foreigners, we are only Poles, a single-ethnic nation. We Poles and our Poland do not need your standards, slavery, beliefs, decadence, racism, xenophobia, you and your blood. For so many years we have lived without you and as life has shown you can and should live without you, we do not need you for any happiness, nor to make us happy with your presence in Poland. You have your countries, you create your reality there and sit there as you sit and as far away from Poland as possible because it is because of you that if you all settle in Poland, Poland will lose its uniqueness, becoming a country like yours with your problems with your dangers with your style and way of life, we Poles don't want that, it's your problem and your world, which you have created for yourself, it's not our Polish and I want you to know about it.

My husband hates them 😂 we are from Kraków

These scooters are ubiquitous here where I live in Germany. Wherever you look there are dozens of them just lying around on the pavements blocking the path, hidden in the bushes or just ditched damaged in the forest behind my house and neither the authorities nor the companies that own them seem to care. My clean and safe neighbourhood turned into a scooter scrapyard because of it 😅

Zalezy Jakie miasto jaka dzielnica jaka osiedla

​@@kalebind1W Polsce praktycznie nie ma takich enklaw tzw "złych dzielnic". Chuligańskie wybryki zdarzają się, owszem, ale ostatnimi laty rzadko i mogą mieć miejsce wszędzie, nie tylko w jakichś zaułkach. Ostrożność nigdy nie zawadzi. Nawet warszawska Praga, np Pelcowizna, czy tzw Dolne Miasto na Czerniakowie, to już normalnie cywilizowany świat. Tzw "zaprawy" (typy spod ciemnej gwiazdy, pijący denaturat, to już rzadko spotykana egzotyka). Napływ uchodźców z Ukrainy najbardziej zaniepokoił tereny przygraniczne, okolice Rzeszowa, Przemyśla itd. Ludzie są różni, wiadomo, zdarzają się tam niebezpieczne sytuacje, jakieś napady, czy gwałty, lecz nie ma to charakteru masowego. Ogólnie Ukraińcy dobrze się integrują, nie ma z nimi większych problemów. Ja bardzo często muszę wracać do domu późnym wieczorem, komunikacją miejską, głównie metro i SKM, mieszkam na obrzeżach Warszawy. Nigdy nie czułam się zagrożona. Dosyć dużo ludzi jest do bardzo późnych godzin, chociaż metro mocno się wyludnia. Polska faktycznie jest jeszcze bezpieczna. Mam porównanie, bo też dużo podróżowałam po świecie.

​@@kalebind1zależy też jak dobrze znasz dzielnicę 😉 są faktycznie takie, że warto zachować czujność (ale bać się ? W Polsce? Nie, nie ten level, i już nie te czasy, choć ufać każdemu nie należy) ... aaaale wychowałam się dość niefajnej dzielnicy (jak na czas moich dziecięcych i nastoletnich lat)... I w sumie tam po nocach chodziłam zawsze bez spiny, bo każdy podejrzany ziomek przesiadujący po nocach na ławce pod blokiem to był mój kolega z podstawówki, albo z podwórka 😆 Ma to swoje plusy 😊 😜

@@nadajniczek ja mam meldunek gdzie trzeba bo tato i wujek przez 49 lata mieszkają na tym samym osiedlu w tym samym podwórku w tym samym budynku po innym osiedlam tej samej dzielnicy się poruszam zazwyczaj dość rzadko...powodzenia Ziom. Trzymam kciuszki...

i gdzie Ty tam latasz po nocach zamiast w domu siedzieć? 🤣🤣🤣

im a swede and i totally understand him

Then triple city is not necessarily an appropriate choice

​@@kalebind1Tri-city

@@charonboat6394 Nie jest to istotna okolicznosc wedlug mnie

​@@kalebind1and why is that? Somehow I missed the fact Gdańsk, Gdynia & Sopot weren't safe.

I remember when visiting Rome I was shocked that there were actual soldiers in the metro, on special outposts, with assault rifles in their hands. The metro itself was also so damn dirty and overall felt really dangerous.

I'm polish student. When we went to the school trip to Rome and few months later to London teachers had to tell us all the time to watch out on the Pic poceters especially in the metro. For us it was more than absurd that we can be robbed. I still remember how obsessive we got over our bags there and how all of us was stressed outside the hotel bc of it (range of age was 17-19 during these two trips)

@@allthis701 We had them too few years ago here in Czechia during all those terrorist attacks in Europe, it was really weird experience when you go to train and there are soldiers with rifles together with police with submachine guns. But it had some positive effects, like no beggars and other annoying people at trains stations, now they are back 😀

I always walked to school alone (as a 7-year old, and, obviously, later as well).

Funny how you mentioned France, Belgium and Sweden, countries with large amounts of “diversity”

Please say thanks to your father from me, Pole:) we really appreciate any help that we can provide to UA. Your father is a Godsend

It always works like this. When I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, most of my Polish friends were concerned I'd be unsafe because of the earthquakes.

I'm happy that you've found my country welcoming. If i may give you a hint - while being in Warszawa take a metro and go out at Wawrzyszew station and head nort-east. Nature 2000 preserve IN the middle if a district. Just get smth to feed squirrels :)))

Thank you for support 🤍❤️

American law states that if you apply for another country's citizenship, you automatically loose the citizenship of USA

Yeah... We remember 90's and early 2000s 😅 Poland was completely different then. It was only a few years since we regained our independence. The economy was robbed by the USSR and shattered. But since I think 2005 Poland started to be the real Poland again. And now I feel great here. :) I lived in many countries (Ukraine included for an about half a year) and I can really say that here I feel like nowhere else.

@AL S Most likely 😂 they're about 50y.o If I count it well 👌😅

It's True. I'm a truck driver and can compare Poland with other EU countries.

Kurdwanow

Said them „hi” from PL 😂*giggles*

Meditterenean culture influences on architecture, Italian - Spanish - Polish

I think we are very similar. We are also agrarian culture, catholic with strong family values. Always had perfect relations with Mexicans I worked with. Like there was immediate understanding between us. Same jokes, same things to talk about. It's just sad looking at the violence in Mexico:(

Mexico city really? We are called Mexicans of Europe btw 😂

Gosh, literally

But in 99% cases the Perpetrator will be caught.

​@@stekon9112this 1% is Jacek Jaworek, master of hide and seek with police😂

@@viadro4618 XD

Countries with large amounts of “diversity” not from their native land.

Cracovia - Wisła football game is very danger. A derby game. At the moment these clubs from Krakow are in the other leagues. It might change even in the next season. I can confirm that Poland is generally very safe. Just avoid a football game and a fire breathing dragon from Wawel 😂

Not from Poland but I agree

Because of stereotypes about Poland/Poles. There are 100 books with jokes about Poles ;)

@@oliwiastanisawska6545 just as there are jokes from Jews, Moroccans, Belgians, Dutch, French, Germans...

Idk but as a Pole i'm glad foreigners don't visit us too often, i prefer using Polish in Poland, not English

I disagree. In my city, there is always discussion of how many new apartments are being bought to convert them to BnB and how expensive this makes to buy one. Also all the restaurants in the center are tourist oriented (=expensive). And I do not even live in Kraków or Warsaw.

I wouldn't say Poles are afraid of foreigners… we're just wary of strangers. As we should be, it's a very good trait to have.

It's sad to see such comments because it comes out that security these days is something special, although it should be the norm at least in civilized countries. It's all the fault of those politicians and “tolerant” people who are anti-citizens of their own country.

1990s and early 2000s were rough period. Pre- EU membership, unemployment was sky high, hence petty theft.

Still going on, but Poles like to live in their bubble.

@@kursantstrzelecki2958 I agree, I grew up that time in Lublin. Lublin was not safe after 8pm for anyone, not mentioning kids who did bother me. And kids, I mean the " street gangs" Now, Lublin is really cool, I love it

That was actually the most dangerous time in the history of modern Poland 😅

Tak z ciekawości, zakładam że posiadasz dwa obywatelstwa, czy to oznacza że możesz głosować w obu krajach?

@@viadro4618 tak

...and suspiciously lacking women? Also, to actually do something in life you have to leave?

​@@kursantstrzelecki2958 Neither Shire nor Poland lack women and if you have nothing to do here its your fault

@@kursantstrzelecki2958 You mixed up Shire with dwarf communities.

Took me 20 minutes after getting off the train in Marseille, France to realise it unsafe

@@IhaveBigFeet France is no go zone therefore it was obvious

Uhahaha, you should see what is going on after Arsenal match... Policeman on horses just to overcome after-match "atmosphere" 😄 That I remember from 90's. English football hooligans were the most violent for decades! You can see it in some movies...

Its probably late October/early November. Typical weather and environment (yellow and red leaves on the lawns under the trees), this is what we call a Polish golden autumn.

Which one? Where did you feel unsafe?

@@stekon9112 I have never felt unsafe. But all the time I've been here people talk enlealy about Praga.

True

Not always and not everywhere. I'd mention here Gdańsk during the martial law and in the 90's. The Jaruzelski regime released much evil among the people here, and (un)human scum was in charge in many places.

Not during WW II or the communist years!

poland was safe,now under regime of rudego is not.

thats not the reason of safety here

If you cross the magical barrier of 0.7... it can indeed be a bit dangerous :)
