severe increase in bicycle accidents

This incident comes at a time when accident research from insurers (“UDV”) presents alarming statistics on serious bike accidents on country roads. A current study shows that an average of four cyclists in Germany are fatally an accident every week and 58 are seriously injured. This represents an increase of almost 30 percent compared to ten years ago. The most common causes of accidents are collisions with cars, with drivers being responsible for these accidents in 59 percent of cases, as in the report from the UDV can be read.

Crossings are particularly dangerous where 68 percent of severe wheel accidents happen. This raises the question of whether sustainable solutions are available to improve the situation, such as safe transitions and the reduction of obstacles to vision. The UDV appeals to those responsible to do more for the safety of the cyclists. For example, cycle paths, which could often significantly improve security, could be a sensible measure.

The accident in Bad Cannstatt illustrates the need to raise awareness of the safety of cyclists. The police and other organizations are urgently required to check possible measures to prevent further accidents and to strengthen the call to mindfulness for both cyclists and drivers. It remains to be hoped that such incidents will no longer be repeated.
