traffic safety remains an urgent topic for everyone, especially for young drivers. Hundreds of thousands of accidents occur in Austria and Germany every year, whereby around 10 people in Germany alone lose their lives in road traffic, as the accident statistics on kfz.net can show. The topic is not only a question of the law and order, but also personal responsibility in road traffic.
in particular affected young drivers
It is particularly alarming that young drivers between the ages of 18 and 25 have almost twice as high accident risks. According to the study on accident research of the ADAC, these age groups have a particularly commoner. In 2016, for example, many of the young drivers were harmed by lack of experience and unadjusted speed. This is supported by further statistics that shed light on the causes of traffic accidents and the accident frequency compared to older drivers, as described in adac.de.The accident data clarifies that at least 29 % of the accidents of young drivers are sole accidents, which indicates the higher risk of distraction and errors. In addition, 76 % of the accidents of young drivers can be seen outside of the city on country roads and federal roads, which indicates the need to make such routes particularly secure.
urgent need for action
Recently, cities and municipalities have started to take effective measures to improve traffic safety. These range from information campaigns for young drivers to special traffic controls to promote compliance with traffic rules. A central concern remains to better protect the sensitive age group of novice drivers and to help them develop safe driving behavior.
The tragic incident in St. Johann im Walde is an urgent appeal to make yourself aware of how quickly accidents can happen. Safe driving, avoiding distractions and a sense of responsibility in road traffic are essential to avoid future accidents and to protect human life.
