Polish police urge drivers to create ‘life corridor’ and host nationwide first‑aid training

Police officers in the Nidzica region reminded drivers of the legal requirement to clear a “life corridor” for emergency vehicles, citing Article 9 of the Road Traffic Act. By moving to the road edge and keeping a clear passage, motorists can shave minutes off response times, which often decide victims’ health outcomes.

On 20 June 2026, the Academy of Civil Protection and Defence will hold a free, nationwide first‑aid course in three locations – the square in front of Primary School No 2 in Siechnice, the Cultural Centre in Święta Katarzyna, and the volunteer fire unit in Sulimów. Participants will learn emergency care skills that can save lives and boost confidence in crisis situations.
