Drama on the street: 27-year-old after an accident in mortal danger!

In a shocking incident on Sunday, March 9, at 2:15 p.m., the car of a 27-year-old overturned in Werouzach, an area of ​​the Ebenthal community. The vehicle came to a standstill about ten meters away from the road on the roof after it was first got off the road to the right of the road. A first aider immediately provided first aid by pulling the accident out of the car and brought it to a stable side position. Thanks to the rapid reaction of the emergency services, including the Radersberg volunteer fire brigade, which was on site with two vehicles and 18 helpers, the injured person was fleeing to the Klagenfurt Clinic after a first aid by the emergency services and the emergency doctor helicopter C11. The vehicle, on the other hand, was no longer ready to drive and suffered a total damage.

Particularly calming for the accident investigators: an alkotest of the driver was negative, which indicated a possible alcoholization at the time of the accident. Nevertheless, the reason for the accident remains unclear. Such incidents often shed light on the traffic rules, which are always at the center of the discussion-especially with regard to truck driving bans on weekends and public holidays, as is specified in the road traffic regulations (StVO). These regulations are in force in many European countries, including Austria, Germany and Switzerland, to increase traffic safety and protect the environment from noise and exhaust emissions.

traffic rules and their importance

The Sunday driving ban for truck is a central topic in traffic law and limits the operation of truck with a total weight of over 7.5 tons on Sundays and public holidays. This set of rules should not only reduce noise pollution, but also protect the environment. Nevertheless, many drivers are disadvantaged by these regulations because they often have to spend their days off at rest areas instead of at home with their families. The discussion about the need for the truck driving ban is regularly conducted and shows how important it is to find a balance between traffic safety and the needs of professional drivers. These regulations have been in force since 1956, and their ongoing application shows the endeavor to protect both public peace and the environment, while increasing vehicle traffic is regulated.
