In view of such serious accidents, it makes sense to take a look at the general traffic situation and abnormalities. The official statistics of the Federal Motor Transport Office (KBA) shows that in 2024 a large number of traffic offenses were recorded that endanger the safety in road traffic as a whole. Most registered violations concerned speed violations, both in men and women who were the most common administrative offenses. This could be an indication that increased attention to security measures in traffic is necessary.

The importance of such accident statistics is underlined by the terrifying numbers. In 2024 alone, for example, over 238,000 criminal traffic offenses and more than 3.8 million administrative offenses were registered. This information comes from the KBA, which stores all relevant data in the driving suitability register and thus makes an important contribution to traffic safety.

The accident in Schermbeck is an urgent example of how quickly there can be tragic incidents in road traffic. The hope remains that such tragic events stimulate those affected and the entire community to think about safer traffic conditions and to rethink their own driving style. We are all called to act more carefully in road traffic and thus potentially save life.
