Light a candle, leave flowers, visit the graves of loved ones who have already passed away – on All Souls' Day, Poles also went to cemeteries. – We work abroad, so now we have this period, spread over a few days, when we can visit everyone – says Mr. Robert.

In Wiktorówki in the Tatra Mountains, although it is a memorial site and not a cemetery, there are still vivid memories of people associated with the mountains who are no longer with us. – People who, for example, died of natural causes can be commemorated here, but were guides, distinguished rescuers, led trips to this place, explained it – explains Apoloniusz Rajwa, a Tatra guide and mountain rescuer.

On Saturday, getting to cemeteries – especially by car – could have been slightly easier than on Friday, when there were traffic jams around the largest necropolises. – For me, 2 is better than 1. Less people, more convenient parking – says Mr. Zdzisław. – Everything is much, much better organized today and there are much fewer people than yesterday – says Mr. Dariusz.

The police summarized the first two days of the “Znicz” operation. – The police recorded 96 accidents in which 3 people died and 113 were injured. Officers detained 464 drunk drivers – says Superintendent. Piotr Świstak from the Police Headquarters.

Over the next several dozen hours, we will be returning home in large numbers. Let's drive safely, and if necessary, remember about the corridor of life – appeal to firefighters from Tenczynek in Lesser Poland, who on Thursday, due to heavy traffic combined with road renovation, had serious problems reaching the site of a collision of several cars on the A4 motorway.

– A firefighter came out and moved the cars that were still standing in front of him so that, to put it mildly, they “hugged each other” so that he could get back into the right lane. They drove a short distance and then the same thing happened – says Katarzyna Kowal, president of the Tenczynek Volunteer Fire Department.

Firefighters estimate that they lost up to 10 minutes due to traffic jams. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries at the scene. – Most often, the image of the corridor of life that is presented, which is visible, is an image in which vehicles are on the right and left, and the corridor should be in the middle. There are situations when, unfortunately, we cannot do it this way, then we stand where possible, on the right side – points out Michał Kusy, firefighter at the Tenczynek Volunteer Fire Department.
