Drive caution! Dangerous streets are waiting for bikers and drivers

The streets in Austria have been characterized by a dangerous combination of dust, dirt and remnants of scattered slide for weeks, which is a serious problem, especially for motorcyclists. Andreas Aigner from the ÖAMTC driving technology center warns that the dry weather and the associated risk of slipping have to get used to driving on two wheels again. This return to the road after a long winter could have fatal consequences, since drivers often do not react to the increased number of vehicle. Therefore, special caution is now required how orf.at reported.

The discussion about the dangerous road conditions is also supplemented by personal experiences by drivers. A user on Motorradonline24 describes that, despite regional differences and short cold periods, the use of road salt was minimal in many areas. Nevertheless, there are potential dangers, because some routes are still affected with salt, which is not recognizable at first glance. These hidden risks illustrate the need to thoroughly clean the motorcycles after journeys at different altitudes in order to avoid the attachment of road salt how Motorradonline24.de Notice.

The bikers are therefore challenged in two ways: they have to refresh their driving technology and at the same time pay attention to which weather conditions at their destination are. The unpredictable weather conditions requires increased vigilance and consideration on the streets from both drivers and drivers, where some place can quickly become a danger. Spring brings a breath of fresh air, but also challenges for all road users.
