Journalist and Kanał Zero founder Krzysztof Stanowski had his driver’s license suspended for three months following a speeding violation in Odrowąż, Poland. On August 30, Stanowski was caught driving at 110 km/h in a 50 km/h zone, resulting in a 3,000 PLN fine and 13 penalty points. The violation occurred approximately ten meters before the edge of the built-up area.

Stanowski described his actions on social media as “total stupidity,” admitting he rationalized the speed because the road appeared empty and straight. He noted that while he initially felt no danger was created, the police presence served as a reminder that others could have emerged unexpectedly. He stated he would use a bicycle or a private driver during his suspension.

The incident has sparked significant media and political debate. Roman Giertych characterized the enforcement as “political harassment,” while other figures, such as Patryk Michalski, criticized Stanowski for a perceived lack of remorse and for his previous comments labeling speeding as a sign of “intellectual deficiency.” The case has also drawn attention to the strictness of Polish traffic enforcement, where exceeding the limit by more than 50 km/h triggers a three-month suspension.
