In 2025, the road statistics for 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
Poles were involved in:
- 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 — 1 deceased and 53 injured.
Foreign drivers account for only a small share of all incidents — about 12–14%
Who Among Foreigners is Most Often Involved in Accidents
If we remove the general 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
Dla innych obcokrajowców często chodzi o przypadki izolowane: niektórzy mają kilka kolizji bez wypadków, podczas gdy inni mają rzadkie wypadki. Na przykład Niemcy, Indie, Turcja czy Azerbejdżan mają minimalne dane i nie tworzą ogólnego trendu.
Another fact stands out: in 2025, only one fatal case was recorded among foreign drivers. The culprit was a citizen of Hungary.
Looking at the statistics as a whole, they do not appear surprising: most accidents are related to Polish drivers — simply because they are the most numerous on the roads. Among foreigners, the main «burden» falls on Ukrainians and Belarusians, which is also directly related to their numbers in the region.
