Autumn game accidents: How to protect yourself on the streets of Central Batens!

in the Mittelbaden area it becomes dangerous! The Offenburg police report alarming nine game accidents in a single night at the end of October. Autumn not only brings colorful leaves, but also an increased risk of collisions with wild animals. Motorists have to be particularly careful now!

The reasons for this dangerous situation are diverse. Wild animals such as deer and wild boars are looking for food to prepare for the barren winter months. They often cross land and federal roads, which leads to an increase in game accidents. Slippery roads and poor visibility increase the risk. The changeover to winter time has also relocated the after -work traffic to the dark hours, which further increases danger.

special vigilance required!

Especially at dusk, drivers should exercise the highest caution. Wild animals are particularly active at these times. Roads that lead through forest areas or on forest field edges are particularly risky. The Badener Straße between Baden-Baden and Hörden as well as the state roads to stone walls and Plittersdorf are hotspots for game accidents. Here the incidents are lined up like pearls on a cord.

When a wild animal is sighted on the roadside, it means reducing speed, holding on the steering wheel and slowly driving past. Wild animals are often not on the go, so it is important to pay attention to subsequent animals. In the event of a collision, the police have to be informed under 110, and it is advisable to keep a distance to avoid further accidents. Document the damage and have an accident certificate issued. Be careful, because the danger lurks everywhere!
