He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, while the inmates of the VW Sharan remained unharmed.

The importance of these incidents for the community

The accidents in Drangstedt and Holßel raise important questions about traffic safety, especially with regard to the protective measures for motorcyclists. At a time when the number of motorcyclists increases, it is crucial that both drivers and motorcyclists are vigilant and become aware of the dangers that lurk on the streets.

The deep -standing sun as a glare effect is a common problem that can affect the view. Traffic safety experts recommend being particularly careful in such situations and reducing speed if necessary. The use of low -temperable light can also help to improve visibility and to avoid potential collisions.
