Traffic and its risks
The B471 is a busy road that has been the scene of several accidents in the past. An example that caused a stir in recent months was an accident on January 13, 2025, when an Opel Corsa crashed into the rear of a semi-trailer for unknown reasons. This incident not only led to a fire in the engine compartment of the car, but also to a one-hour closure of the B471 in the direction of Fürstenfeldbruck, which significantly affected the traffic situation. First responders and emergency services from the fire departments from Feldgeding and Geiselbullach were able to contain the fire and provided important support in recovering the vehicle (kbi-dachau.de).
In order to increase safety on the roads, statistics such as those from destatis.de collect important data. These are used to analyze and improve traffic safety. The focus is on the causes of accidents, the vehicles involved and the consequences for those affected. Such data is crucial for policies affecting both road construction and road transport training.
So it's clear: road traffic accidents are not just personal tragedies, but also social challenges. Every time there is a bang, the entire traffic is at risk and it is not just those directly involved who are affected.
So stay alert in traffic and remember that a second of inattention can affect the lives of many people.
