causes and backgrounds

The increasing number of motorcycle accidents always causes concern. According to a current [ÖAMTC] (https://www.oeastc.at/thema/motorrad-moped/2024-verunglueckten-bislang-78-motorcycle travel-to-a-75015093) study, 78 motorcyclists were killed this year. This means that motorcycle accidents make up a share of around 25% of all traffic fatalities, an increase compared to the previous year, where this proportion was around 20%. It is particularly questionable that 96% of the victims are male and an average of 47 years old.

The most common causes of fatal accidents are misunderstood overtaking, non -adapted speed and priority violations. It is estimated that around 80% of fatal accidents happen. In the event of accidents at intersections, such as that in Jarmen, motorcyclists are often overlooked by other road users. This is a problem that affects many motorcyclists all over Germany and beyond.

security measures and acquisition of consciousness

In order to counter the increasing number of accidents, the ÖAMTC emphasizes the need for educational work and driving safety training. The knowledge of safe driving practices could many bikers: save life inside. In addition, the role of a secure infrastructure is pointed out, which can make an important contribution to traffic safety.

A look at another example shows how quickly there can be serious accidents. In the event of an incident on the Neuffener Steigen, which affected three motorcyclists, they collided due to a risky overtaking maneuver. The 59-year-old became difficult, while the other two drivers got away with minor injuries. In this case, the Neuffener Steige also had to be closed for several hours to secure and clean the scene of the accident Stuttgart News.
