In 2025, the traffic statistics of Gdańsk, Gdynia, and Sopot present a rather expected picture: the main burden of accidents still falls on Polish drivers. However, the data also allows us to see how foreigners fit into this picture — and which nationalities among them are most frequently encountered.
Looking at the overall figures, the gap between Polish and foreign drivers remains significant
The Poles became participants:
- 312 accidents (compared to 43 for foreigners)
- 7,522 kolizji (w porównaniu do 1,234 dla obcokrajowców)
The same applies to the consequences of road traffic accidents. In accidents involving Polish drivers, 10 people died and 335 were injured. Among foreigners, there was 1 fatality and 53 injuries.
Foreign drivers account for approximately a small share of all incidents — around 12–14%
Who Among Foreigners Is Most Often Involved in Accidents
If we remove the overall background and look only at foreigners, the picture becomes more concentrated. Two groups stand out here — Ukrainians and Belarusians.
Citizens of Ukraine:
- 20 accidents
- 689 collisions
Citizens of Belarus:
- 7 accidents
- 133 collisions
For other foreigners, the discussion often revolves around isolated cases: some have several collisions without accidents, while others have rare traffic accidents. For example, Germany, India, Turkey, or Azerbaijan have minimal figures that do not create an overall trend
Another fact stands out: in 2025, there was only one fatality among foreign drivers. The culprit was a citizen of Hungary
Looking at the statistics as a whole, they do not seem surprising: most traffic accidents involve Polish drivers — simply because there are more of them on the roads. Among foreigners, however, the main «burden» falls on Ukrainians and Belarusians, which is also directly related to their numbers in the region.
