Uckermark: Increase in game accidents - this is how you stay at the wheel!

Uckermark: Increase in game accidents - this is how you stay at the wheel!

In the Uckermark, a frightening number of 18 traffic accidents occurred last weekend, in which a total of three people were injured. According to Cityreport , the game change is one of the main causes for these accidents, since five of the 18 incidents are due to encounters with animals on the road. The police urge it: especially in the early morning and evening hours, drivers should show increased attention because wild animals are active at these times and often cross the streets.

In addition, three intoxicated drivers in Schwedt and Templin were found during traffic controls in the evening of the 7th to December 8th to December 8th. All three men, aged 26 to 41, showed significant signs of drug use, which could now bring them into a ban on driving and high fines. These developments remind us of the dangers that Verkehrscoaching appeals: The reaction when driving can be severely impaired by alcohol, drugs or distraction, which increases the risk of accident.

The dangers of game change

game accidents are particularly common at the twilight, and the risk is increased in spring and autumn due to poor visibility. More than 77,000 wild animals lose their lives on the street in Austria every year, and an average of 300 road users are violated in such accidents. The likelihood of collisions with wild animals increases, especially if the road user is not properly careful. Verkehrscoaching advises to reduce the speed and be ready to brake at any time, since wildlife often cross the roads and an alternative maneuver can be risky.
