Emergency braking for stones on the street: tips from the traffic expert
An unexpected incident on the streets can be both dangerous and worrying for drivers. Especially when a stone suddenly appears on the road, quick reactions are required. In this context, Martin Huber, the head of the ÖAMTC driving technology center in Innsbruck, offers valuable advice for drivers.
The main focus should be on initiating an emergency braking as soon as an obstacle is noticed. This reaction is crucial to avoid accidents and to protect the occupants of the vehicle and other road users. Especially on country roads and in rural areas, it can happen that stones or other objects are on the street.
The importance of the right reaction
A free field of vision and a reasonable speed, especially in spring and autumn, are important, as stones from construction sites or weather conditions can reach the streets in these times. The ÖAMTC regularly offers training in which drivers learn how to react to such situations.
In addition to an immediate emergency braking, drivers are advised to check the mirror protection and ensure that there is no vehicle behind them before a sudden braking is initiated. It is just as important to stay calm and bring the vehicle to a standstill in a controlled manner.
The findings from these training courses can be life -saving for many drivers. Martin Huber emphasizes that adequate preparation and knowledge of the right reaction are important elements in order to effectively protect themselves from unexpected dangers on the street.
