Microsleep at the wheel: Woman rams garden fence in Mühldorf!
On the night of Saturday, December 6th, a serious accident occurred on Trostberger Straße in Mühldorf, which was caused by overtiredness. A 58-year-old woman from the Mühldorf district left the road in her VW Touareg and crashed into a garden fence. Fortunately, the driver was uninjured, but the damage to property is estimated at a mid-five-figure amount. The police blame the so-called microsleep as the cause of the accident. This danger is often underestimated, but the consequences can be devastating, as the car's slalom ride against the garden fence clearly shows.
What is particularly alarming is that just two days earlier, on Friday December 5th, a similar accident occurred in Polling, which was also caused by fatigue. The police warn urgently about the risks of driving while tired. Exhaustion can not only lead to traffic accidents, but can also have legal consequences, such as the loss of your driving license. The police are appealing to all road users to honestly examine themselves before starting their journey and to take breaks if necessary in order to be safe on the road.
Dangers of driving while tired
The police warning stands in stark contrast to the often careless attitude of many drivers when it comes to being tired at the wheel. “You drive better when you’re tired” is a common misconception that is anything but true in reality. Drivers should be particularly vigilant, especially in the dark season, when the days become shorter and the nights longer. A brief moment of inattention can have fatal consequences.
Local authorities emphasize the importance of hazard prevention information. These accidents should be seen as a wake-up call to take your own fatigue seriously and, if necessary, consider measures such as breaks, carpooling or alternative means of transport.
