London to Warsaw by car 8

[alanheath]

How technology has improved in the past four years. No longer any problems with battery running out as I have a cable from the 12V.

[PolskaUrban]

In few years there will be the new Autostrada 2. The Motorway will then replace the DK2.

[alanheath]

@PolskaUrban It is being built! I drove down at the end of October and it is progressing well. I will post the film when I get round to it!

[PolskaUrban]

@alanheath sounds good!

On "SkyscraperCity" you can watch the construction of the A2 between Swiecko-Nowy Tomysl. Very interesting

[alanheath]

@PolskaUrban Thanks for pointing this out. I did not think of looking there!

[queenzortje]

@alanheath 5 years ago they started with this e30 extension... they still didnt finnish -,-

[alanheath]

@queenzortje The E30 motorway has been extended since I filmed this in 2007.

[queenzortje]

@alanheath I mean.. when you cross the german border.. U will be redirected to the left driving part of the highway.. both directions drive on 2 lanes of the left side.. at the end.. on your left hand there is a fuel station.. this is where you go to left and cross a trainrail..

I mean the road they are building between this point where u turn left now and the point which I record at 4:30 in my "getaway from poland" video

[generalromeo]

now i know why there are so many road accident deaths in poland. just look at the way those idiots were overtaking from both sides and with few inches from hitting the oncoming vehicle. these guys must be on a lot of vodka to do those stupid stunts.

[alanheath]

Thanks for your comment. I am disgusted to hear what that person told you. He does not represent normal British people and this type of hatred is decidedly un-British. All of us come from somewhere else, it just depends on how long ago it was!

[szitan]

9:22 min wiem ze to jest niebezpieczne ale tu sie tak jeździ buraku!!!To nie Anglia i na co ten komentarz z tablicami

[alanheath]

Jakies burak 3 tygodni temu, zabil kolegę, jadąc 120km na godzine gidzie powinien zatrymać.

Kolezanka chora nadal w szpitalu.

Dla glupoli to nic, zycia polakow nie wazne dla Was.

[alanheath]

Tu jest 3 dnii ale zwiedzam tez.

Najszybciej bylo 15 godz.

[Patriko19861]

how do U know so much about poland??suprising!!

[alanheath]

Thanks for your comment! I know lots of things about lots of places as you can see on other films on this channel. Not all that surprising!!

[Patriko19861]

U cool man meate

[alanheath]

super!!

[AmersfoortTristan]

Nice to see that you put that Ukrainian idiot on the pillory.

I hope he's ashamed of himself !

[alanheath]

I do my best!!!

[cairnsjim]

alan about speed well said ,in a foreign country you should respect the local customs and laws

[alanheath]

My point exactly! Local law is to be respected!!

[alanheath]

And you know nothing about driving. The law is to be respected not broken by idiots who think they know better and then kill and maim thousands of people every year.

[AmersfoortTristan]

Well said, Alan.

[x0ray0cat]

Line is not the wall!

[MetalHead4Jesus777]

Good video. :]

[hokejfanRSA]

dear author, please visit east side of Poland. West border area (lower silesia, and other through the Odra river ) looks much worse if you compare it with East areas of PL.

greetings

[alanheath]

I have been to the eastern side many times. Contrary to popular belief, the western part is much poorer than the eastern part.

[alanheath]

You can see the road coming the other way in my film series Warsaw to Oelde. That time I did not run out of space!

[steeL2008M]

poland is very nice do you were in Lyick (ELK)

[alanheath]

Yes, its nice - but then I like everywhere!

[PolskaUrban]

That's one of the big problems of Poland; the missing Highways/Autobahnen...

...xD at 9:22 That's normal in Poland; idiots drives everywhere

[x0ray0cat]

jeszcze mogłeś pochwalić się jak jest autostrada po rosyjsku i po francusku

[PolskaUrban]

po rosyjsku: Автобан

po francusku: Autoroute

SPIERDALAJ xD

[ziomek37996]

jeszcze mam pytanie czym ten film byl nagrywany Kamerą czy aparatem cyfrowym??

[alanheath]

aparat cyfrowym. Kamera jest za wielki dla mnie!

[Patriik23]

nice video.. i gotta move to poland

[DAntiM1992]

in 1 min 25 you can see orlen i was there too...in there new of there is a polish market with not original tshirts the city is called slubice

[alejandronskiy]

I was driving in poland at 70kph.

[ziomek37996]

sory ale alanheath mial racje ze wolno jechal powiedzcie mi po co sie spieszyc lepiej 10 godzin p ozniej zajechac a byc calym a nie jak niektorzy po 230 km/h jezdzą ja jechalem z Newcastle do Czestochowy 38 godzin i jechalem tak srednio 110km/h i zajechalem caly i zdrowy

[x0ray0cat]

ale on jechał na prostym odcinku maksymalnie 70 km na godzinę przy ograniczeniu do 90 km/h. TIR który go wyprzedzał miał za pewne jak każdy inny założony kaganiec na ok. 90 km/h.

[x0ray0cat]

Jak wolno trzeba jechać i jakim zawalidrogą trzeba być, aby wyprzedził Cię TIR?

[alanheath]

Prawo i zycia innych trzeba szanować. Ja szanuję zdrowia i zycia innych ludzie. Chyba Ty nie. Na pewno nie kierowca ten TIR.

[Barciur]

tak długo jak nie ma niebiesku znaku z białą liczbą moze nawet jechac 5 kph..

[x0ray0cat]

Nikt nie pytał jak długo może jechać tak wolno tylko co trzeba mieć w głowie, aby być zwyczajną zawalidrogą...

[Barciur]

tylko ze on wcale zawalidrogą nie jest..

[alanheath]

Actually at that time I was driving at 40kmph because that is the maximum permitted. What speed do you consider you should be driving at when the speed limit is 40kmph?

And what do you think a continuous white line in the middle of the road means?

[xxxl222]

What car were you driving was it a car with a british number plate or a polish one?

[alanheath]

This is an Opel Astra estate 1995 (currently for sale in Warsaw). It is on German number plates although I bought in the UK in order to bring my things from London to Warsaw.

[Barciur]

why is it on german plates? :>

[alanheath]

The previous owner was German.

Unfortunately no longer for sale as some idiot just rammed into me on the Waly Medzizinski in Warsaw driving at around 100 - 140kmph. The car is a write off.

[Barciur]

so bad u didnt put border crossing :(

[alanheath]

Yes, pretty silly to run out of space on the disk when I have the laptop with me and spare memory disks. Only I think I thought the problem was the battery.

[Barciur]

well maybe u can try next time ;) I think of going from United States to Poland by car.. wondering if it's possible ;P

[alanheath]

Well, if they get some sort of a ferry service sorted out across the Bering Straight (or a bridge as I saw on the Discovery Channel) then it would be possible.

[Barciur]

the problem is it's really risky to go through Russia... especially since there is no cell phone coverage on most of the russian territory

[alanheath]

I have driven in Russia on British plates but if I were going to do a long journey I would get an old Russian registered car.

[alanheath]

You are wrong. If I am driving at a safe speed, showing respect for others then those who are late should have left home a little earlier. Traffic laws are to be respected by all for the good of all. If someone overtakes in a dangerous place when he is not going to get at his destination any quicker by risking the lives of others then that person should not have a driving licence.
