Sounds like Melbourne with snow and bigger potholes. London (dunno about the rest of the UK) has far more cyclists so drivers are more likely to think about where they turn their tonne of steel. It also has lots of red lights so you can have words with the drivers if they don't :)
Polish roads are pretty bad and their road safety seems non-existant but it will change with time. There's not exactly a great deal of money kicking around to be spent on awareness campaigns and such (Polish friends would have me believe it's all pocketed by the corrupt government).
Grab your cyclecraft, ride wide, hold your position, stop running into snow and potholes and enjoy your cycling. :)
