challenges and risks for motorcyclists

This serious incident is skill in a light light on the challenges with which motorcyclists in Germany are faced. Hundreds of motorcyclists die every year in traffic accidents, and although the number of fatal accidents has dropped in recent years, it remains high. The accident statistics show that between 500 and 700 fatal motorcycle accidents are registered annually, whereby the causes can usually be found in human failure and external factors. Around two thirds of the accidents with personal damage are to be attributed to motorcyclists, while alcohol, inexperience and risky behavior also significantly increase the risk of accidents. Poorly repaired roads and careless behavior of other road users also contribute to the risk.

Society is therefore faced with the task of improving conducers. This includes practice -oriented driving training, regular driving safety training and targeted infrastructure measures. Sensitization campaigns for drivers are necessary to raise awareness of the dangers of motorcycling. A joint commitment of politics, business and motorcyclists themselves is crucial to sustainably reduce the number of accidents. The current tragedy illustrates the urgency of these measures.

In view of the recent events in Vorra, it is to be hoped that such tragic accidents can be avoided in the future. The deep grief that the loss of a life brings with it should encourage us to act more consciously and more responsibly in road traffic.
