Dangerous accidents: drunk drivers and cyclists in Fürstenfeldbruck!

Today there are reports of a worrying series of traffic accidents in Fürstenfeldbruck, raising an important issue about traffic safety. The police are busy with a diverse range of operations, including some serious incidents.

A 42-year-old was caught behind the wheel of a vehicle with 1.5 per mille of alcohol in his blood. The consequences are clear: a charge for drunk driving is the immediate result. Such numbers and incidents are alarming, especially in light of the fact that over 7,000 accidents occurred in 2022 due to inattention on the road German statutory accident insurance reported.

Accidents involving cyclists are common

One of the worrying developments is that female cyclists are repeatedly being involved in traffic accidents. On Tuesday, an 83-year-old cyclist was hit by a 25-year-old who gave way to her on State Road 2345. She suffered from abrasions and had to be taken to hospital. A similar incident also occurred on Wednesday: A 66-year-old was hit at the intersection of Lerchenstrasse and Bahnhofstrasse by a 42-year-old car driver who had also given way to her. The cyclist sustained moderate injuries and was taken to a clinic.

Such incidents shed light on the dangers on the road caused by tired and inattentive drivers. The Accident statistics show that not only alcohol, but also fatigue and distraction from smartphones are serious risk factors. The action of the German Road Safety Council therefore demands that drivers should only get behind the wheel if they are physically and mentally fit.

In this sense, the clear motto of the road safety campaign is: “Only drive if physically and mentally fit”.
