Attention, drivers! Wild change in Kiel and Plön - this is how you protect yourself!

Kiel, Deutschland - Kiel / Plön - alarm level red on the streets! With the shorter days, the risk of game accidents increases dramatically! The dusk in the morning and evening becomes a dangerous terrain for drivers. Especially in autumn and spring, wild animals are particularly active and often cross the streets. Drivers should adjust to regular game changes and be particularly careful!

rules for drivers - this is how you avoid accidents!

discover an animal on the side of the road, do not panic! Reduce your speed and switch off the high beam so as not to blind the animal. A horn can often work wonders and drive wild animals away! But be careful: if a collision seems inevitable, they do not differ under any circumstances! The risks of an alternative maneuver are often much higher than contact with the animal!

warning signs are your friends! Many drivers ignore these information and race despite blue reflectors - highly risky! These reflectors signal frequent crossing points, unfortunately all too often lead animals into the way of the vehicles. If there is a collision, stay calm. Secure the accident site with warning indicators and warning triangle, put on a warning vest and provide first aid in personal injury. A call to the emergency services (emergency call 112) is essential! In the event of damage to property, they notify the police (police call 110) or a person entitled to hunting. And even if no visible damage has occurred - report the accident!

shocking: Many road users only report days after a game accident, often only because of insurance damage settlement. The well -being of the injured animals often does not come first! The police call for all drivers for a forward -looking driving style and increased awareness of the danger in order to avoid serious accidents. Good trip!
