Almost all day we describe dramatic accidents that could be avoided if drivers, pedestrians or scooter users followed the rules –Says Paula Skalnicka, head of local editorial “Gazeta Wyborcza”.– On the another hand, we besides request well-designed rules and effective enforcement. Our goal is to bring about a change in both areas, hence the request to proceed the action “How you ride, Poland”.
