Motorcyclist seriously injured: drama on the B 81 at netzkater!

Netzkater, Deutschland - Last Saturday there were several severe motorcycle accidents in Germany, which put the security risk for motorcyclists again in the spotlight. A 46-year-old biker from Bad Wildungen lost control of his motorcycle at around 1:20 p.m. The accident occurred in a left turn when the driver slipped and got off the road. In doing so, he came to lie behind a protective plank and suffered severe but not life -threatening injuries. Rescue workers immediately brought the injured to the southern Harz Clinic. The motorcycle suffered a total of around 5,000 euros. In order to take up the accident site and supply the injured, the B 81 had to be completely closed for around 20 minutes. The police have already investigated the exact causes of the accident, as Tixio reports.

But that was not the only incident that day. Another serious motorcycle accident occurred in the Passau district in the morning, around 10:15 a.m. Here a 38-year-old driver from Ruderting at the intersection Fischhauser Straße/Ruchtastraße overlooked a 20-year-old motorcyclist from Tiefenbach. The biker was also seriously injured and had to be taken to the hospital. The car's car also had to be occupied with a five -year -old toddler, which fortunately only bought minor injuries. The property damage is estimated at around 30,000 euros. According to PNP Such accidents are not unusual because motorcyclists are repeatedly in dangerous situations.

The current accident statistics show that motorcyclists are exposed to a significantly higher risk than drivers. According to the ADAC, the almost 4.7 million motorcycles approved in Germany have a four -time risk of being involved in an accident. In addition, the biking rate is seven times as high. Although the number of fatal and seriously injured motorcyclists has been declining since 2000, their proportion remains worryingly high. Every year over 500 bikers have fatal and almost 10,000 suffering serious injuries, as ADAC reports.

A closer look at the causes of reveals that almost every fourth serious accident involves a motorcyclist outside of towns. Sole accidents are particularly common, which are conditioned in 47 % of cases due to driving errors and 39 % due to excessive speed. In collisions, the trigger is often unadjusted speed or an overtaking error. Therefore, it is important for bikers to always pay attention to safety: protective equipment such as helmet and gloves are essential, regular vehicle checks and driving safety training should be on the agenda. This is the only way to minimize the risk of serious injuries.

The tragedies of last week remind us of how important it is to be safe and responsibly on the road in road traffic. Motorcyclists should therefore pay particular attention to their driving technology and safety precautions to enjoy life on two wheels as carefree as possible.
