Extremely dangerous situation on the S14 expressway near Łódź. The driver of the Audi was driving at high speed, tried to overtake another vehicle in the median, and then stopped twice in the middle of the road. – There could have been a disaster in land traffic there, if it weren't for the heavy traffic and the presence of mind of other drivers, it could have been a huge tragedy – says the former head of the Pabianice road police and an expert in the analysis and reconstruction of road accidents.
A recording of dangerous driving near Łódź was published by Stop Cham. The video recorded by one of the drivers shows an Audi speeding in the left lane of the S14 expressway. The car reached another passenger car overtaking the truck, at one point the driver of the Audi wanted to pass the car on the grass (using the separation lane), but he changed his mind and returned to the fast lane of the expressway and overtook the vehicles.

The recording further shows that the behavior of the driver of the passenger car (who had previously overtaken the truck) did not please the driver of the Audi, who decided to stop in the middle of the road. The first time he stood in the right lane with the hazard lights on, the second time he caught up with a passenger car and cut it off, stopping in the middle.
“It's unimaginable”
We asked the former head of the Pabianice traffic police and a former expert in the field of road accident analysis and reconstruction about the driver's behavior. – You can see the huge speed of this Audi in this recording, it's impossible not to notice it – comments Andrzej Janicki. – This is generally unthinkable. The driver of the Audi is a person who probably has no logical thinking about what might happen in such a situation. In my opinion, this driver should be subjected to a second driving test, because it is clear that he does not know the basic, very basic rules of road traffic. There could have been a disaster in land traffic there, if it had not been for the heavy traffic and the presence of mind of other drivers, there could have been a huge tragedy there, huge! – Andrzej Janicki summed up.
Police proceedings
The press officer of the police in Pabianice told tvn24.pl that after viewing the recording sent by our journalist, an investigation procedure was initiated. – We are carrying out investigation activities in this case, the incident most likely started in Łódź, but in fact the vehicle was passing near Niesięcin (Pabianice poviat), so knowing that something like this took place, we will carry out our activities – the road traffic offenses team – said Deputy Commissioner Agnieszka Jachimek.
