safety in road traffic

How should you behave after an accident? It is important to secure the scene of the accident, to park the vehicle in a safe place and to switch on the warning indicator system. In the event of injuries, the emergency call (112) should be informed immediately. Preserving peace, making no blame and calling the police, especially in the case of injured or considerable damage to property, are essential steps, such as inberlin.de

accidents on the streets are sometimes an expression of social challenges. According to data from the Federal Statistical Office, we need transparent, comprehensive and reliable information about the traffic safety situation to implement suitable measures in legislation, traffic education and road construction policy. Accidents that arise from inattentive driving behavior, among other things, are not only a personal evil, but also influence the entire traffic system. The basis for an effective transport policy is a thorough analysis of the causes of the accident and sequences, as destatis.de.

The recent events in Bruck an der Leitha remind us of how vulnerable we are in road traffic and that security is not only in the interests of individual, but of the entire community.
