The recording was published by the "Stop Cham" profile on social media. The video shows a Toyota driver stopping partially on the emergency lane and then getting out of the car. In the background, there are horns of another cars, which are besides forced to brake suddenly. The recording then shows how the Toyota driver exits the vehicle and approaches the driver, whom he drove his way. There's a vulgar exchange.
– What are you doing?! – the recorder asks. At the same time, the passenger leaves the Toyota, which shows a vulgar motion – the mediate finger. The couple then gets back in the vehicle and drives away. From the recording account, he was hit by an aggressor.
It turned out that the passenger who showed vulgar gestures towards the recorder was a police officer. He works at the Provincial Police Command in Kielce. The communication states that the officers "implemented investigations" – the victim and respective witnesses were interviewed in this case.
“We know who the Toyota driver is – the consequences of his behaviour will be borne,” noted the Świętokrzyska police. Press spokesperson of the Provincial Police Command in Kielce, Kamil Tokarski, in an interview with the portal o2.pl said that the policewoman had not yet been interviewed.
“Let the police work on this case for a while. There are comments that the subject will be swept under the carpet – there is absolutely no specified possibility. The consequences will be drawn to both the driver and the passenger," he assured.
According to statistics, in 2022 more than 23 1000 accidents occurred on roads in Poland, in which more than 2,000 people died. The most common causes of these accidents are violations of traffic rules, specified as speeding or failure to give priority.
Therefore, the police and road safety authorities are taking various measures to improve road safety. 1 is the introduction of fresh regulations, specified as the work to drive with lights on during the day, or the ban on utilizing a mobile telephone while driving.
Moreover, police are increasingly utilizing fresh technologies specified as phototraps or traffic monitoring systems to increase road safety.
However, in order to guarantee road safety, all users must strictly comply with traffic rules and be careful of another traffic participants. All of this aims at reducing the number of accidents and improving road safety.
In this context, the case involving a policewoman who showed vulgar gestures is peculiarly disturbing. The police have a work to defend public order and warrant the safety of all road users. Therefore, the consequences for police officers and drivers who have violated traffic regulations will be very crucial to keep public assurance in the police.
According to the data, in 2022 over 70% of Poles declared that they felt safe on the roads. However, more than 20% of respondents said they did not feel safe, mainly due to violations of traffic regulations by another drivers.
Therefore, the police and road safety authorities must take action to improve road safety and reduce accidents. This includes monitoring compliance with traffic rules, driver education and mindfulness on another traffic participants.
Finally, road safety depends on all users. Therefore, each of us must strictly follow traffic regulations and watch out for another traffic participants. Only in this way will we be able to warrant road safety and reduce accidents.
