The beetles want to take a driving licence for speeding for life

The authorities that release from the prisoners of the affairs and redeem corruption by millions of zlotys, at the same time want to show their strength towards average Poles. 1 of Waldemar Żurek's newest ideas is to receive a driving licence for driving for speeding for life. As a result, in Poland murderism is expanding towards the weak, while the strong stay unpunished.

The beetles want to take their licence for speeding for life. Government of Tusk announces 1 of the strongest reforms of road law in the past of the 3rd Republic. Minister Waldemar Żurek announced that the Sejm had adopted a package of regulations which are to “once and for all” deal with road pirates. The key point of the improvement is simply a sub-point saying that a 3rd overspeed of 50 km/h is intended to consequence in a life removal of the driving licence – without the anticipation of recovering it.

The thought raises serious constitutional doubts. Experts ask whether the state has the right to indefinitely deprive the citizen of his rights without the anticipation of rehabilitation or re-verification. The overspeed of 50 km/h may be of a non-hazardous nature. In many places in Poland, wide expressways turn into sections with a velocity limit of 70 km/h despite the same infrastructure and belt width. There are besides sections of highways with a velocity limit of up to 90 km/h.

Overlooking specified regulations (often unjustified) 3 times during respective decades of driving seems highly likely even in people who drive safely and in accordance with regulations.

The Sejm has adopted regulations that will mark road pirates!

– 3 speeding by 50 km/h – you lose your licence forever.

-Stricier penalties besides for speeding outside the built-up area.

But it's only the beginning. You gotta do it erstwhile and then...

The task besides involves tightening sanctions for speeding outside the built-up area. This means higher mandates and longer retention periods. Although the direction of change is intended in explanation to improve road safety, a number of doubts arise: How will the ‘third’ case of overspeed be counted – whether within respective years or in the full life of the driver? Will these solutions truly increase road safety?

Indeed, in Poland we have a problem with the notorious violation of traffic bans by road pirates. However, a number of changes proposed by Żurek do not supply for serious sanctions against persons breaking bans, but only make it hard for them, for example, to lease on a car. So what would aid to improve road safety in real terms? Modernisation of infrastructure, better lighting and road marking and a real fight against recidivism.

That is why - as he rightly points out in his entry Paweł Usądzki from the Confederation - the actions of Minister Żurek should be seen as an ideological war against drivers, which characterizes left-wing liberal populists.
