On Friday, September 13, on Goworowska Street in Ostrołęka, traffic police officers on duty in a marked police van noticed a female Volkswagen driver overtaking them on a pedestrian crossing marked with vertical and horizontal signs. They stopped her for inspection.
– Behind the wheel was a 30-year-old resident of Ostrołęka County, who was completely unaware of the fact that she had committed one of the most dangerous offences – informs Senior Superintendent Tomasz Żerański from the police in Ostrołęka. – Unfortunately, as this incident shows, drivers even with several years of experience are not aware of the offences they commit, which pose a huge threat to pedestrians – he adds.
