Shock on the A9: 17-year-old overturns car-grandma slightly injured!
A serious accident occurred on the A9 towards Sattledt when a 17-year-old test guide from Germany crashed into a concrete road divider with his Opel Astra. As [news.at] (https://www.nachrichten.at/oberoesterreich/steyr/bobuchefuehrerschwehrer-fuhr-fuhr-auf-a9- against-concrete element-mit-liche-Balger-Hangen-Art68.4059839) reports, the vehicle overturned and came to a standstill after about 120 meters. Fortunately, the driver and his 53-year-old mother, who was sitting in the car with him, left the wreck independently and remained unharmed.
The 81-year-old grandmother, who had taken a seat in the passenger seat, was worse. She was caught in the car and had to be freed from the rescue workers. After her rescue, she was slightly injured to the Kirchdorf Clinic. An alkotest with the driver was negative, and total damage was caused by the vehicle itself. The co -traveling dog Coco, on the other hand, got away with the horror and was not injured.trial period and driving license rules
The young driver was still in the trial period, which applies to all new driver's license owners in Austria. As explained on Austria.gv.at, the trial period is usually three years. Exceptions only exist for people whose steering authorization has expired. In the event of violations of the 0.1-promille limit, which applies to the test guide license owners, re-training and, if necessary, an extension of the trial period.
It is particularly interesting that the regulations for the trial period also apply to EU citizens in Austria. You can drive under the same conditions as local drivers, regardless of your trial period. This could be important for those affected, especially in view of the fact that beginners at this age are involved in almost a third of all traffic accidents, which is almost twice as high as for travelers over 25, as adac.de.
beginners in road traffic
The 17-year-old's example illustrates how important it is that young drivers know well about the laws and regulations. Colloquially one could say: "Always keep your ears open!" Because a traffic violation during the trial period can not only extend the time that you remain in this special status, but also have financial consequences. In many cases, liability insurance is mandatory, but it is worth thinking about comprehensive insurance.
In summary, it remains to be said: avoiding accident and security should always come first for all drivers, especially for young and inexperienced. The incident on the A9 tragically shows how fast it can be. We keep our fingers crossed for the injured grandmother and hope that everyone involved will pull their teachings out of this incident.| Details | |
