I disagree with this statement what do you think star trek?
" They are not being cold or uptight, it’s just a different culture. "
I think they are being cold or uptight and the younegr ones are all princesses or have the princess syndrome.

Interesting comment below the article sums it up nicely you cant expect civil behaviopr here or rules to be followed:
"Here is my rule of thumb: You’re self-aware. You’re responsible for your own safety. Don’t demand that a car will be able to stop. Don’t expect all rules will guarantee your safety. Stay double cautious, watch for all unexpected danger. And you may survive… :)"

ANother good comment I agree wholeheartedly with about the article:
"Having lived in Poland for the past 8 years, this article really is mostly a lot of nonsense written by someone who appears to be an idealist naive boy scout in his early 20s who doesn’t know Poland very well.
“Ninety-five percent of taxi drivers in Krakow are honest…” -interesting statistic but total nonsense and not useful at all. Taxis from main stations are dishonest when it comes to foreigners more than half the time I use them, and likewise the taxis waiting near the market square. Taxis you call to collect you are much more honest but if you don’t speak some Polish or know the number to call, then you can’t take advantage of them. And despite that, just a couple of weeks ago I took one of the call taxis to the airport, picking up from my place and he ripped me off by about 40 zl, thinking I was a dumb foreigner who doesn’t know much. Unfortunately for him my Polish wife sent a letter to the taxi company and the authorities, and he’s going to be in court soon, and I expect I’ll get back my 40 zl. But it was for the principle not the money that we reported him. He did the old hand-on-the-gear-stick covering the tariff reading on the meter.
As for jay-walking, I’ve done it every day for 8 years, and so do many of the Poles I see, and never been fined. It’s a ridiculous law that probably makes the appalling road safety stats even worse than they already are. Obviously, if you see a couple of appallingly mannered and almost universally detested Polish constabulary hanging around, then don’t do it at that time.
The whole article by Jamie Stokes continues in pretty much the same way, and it’s such a shame he’s not working for the children’s version of the Daily Mail, rather than ranting and writing such drivel for the Krakow Post."
