background to motorcycle accidents in Germany
motorcycle accidents are a serious topic and the statistics are alarming. In Germany, the absolute numbers of fatal and seriously injured motorcyclists have dropped since 2000, but the percentage of this group is increasing in the road dead. According to the current data from the Federal Statistical Office and Statista there were over 500 traffic controls and almost 10,000 seriously injured among motorcyclists in Germany.
It is noteworthy that motorcyclists have a four -time risk of being involved in an accident compared to drivers. The most common causes of accidents are driving errors and excessive speed. Young drivers between 15 and 24 years are particularly at risk. The injury weight also increases with age. Injuries such as traumatic brain trauma or thorax injuries are not uncommon. At Autohaus it is pointed out that there are sole accidents over a third of accidents; This suggests that security measures and driving safety training are of the greatest importance for motorcyclists.safety measures for motorcyclists
The ADAC accident analysis shows that technical security measures such as cornering and traction control could potentially contribute to avoiding accident. In this context, the regular security check and wearing suitable protective clothing are of crucial importance. Drivers should also be aware of the physical limits of their vehicles and drive defensively, which helps to avoid accidents.
In a time when motorcycling is becoming popular again - over 4.7 million motorcycles in Germany are currently approved - both the drivers and the traffic infrastructure have to be equipped with the necessary foresight to be safely on the road. It is to be hoped that future measures and behavior on the street will help prevent such tragic accidents as those who have happened today.
