accidents like the one that happened yesterday are unfortunately not uncommon. According to statistical surveys on traffic safety, which are published, among other things, on destatis.de, motorcyclists are particularly at risk. The statistics show that many accidents are favored by unadjusted speed, winding routes and insufficient visibility. Such data not only helps to clarify traffic accidents, but also create a basis for improving transport policy and security measures on the streets.
