security in long -distance bus traffic

The incidents throw a light on the security situation in long -distance bus traffic. Travel coaches are considered a safe means of transport, but as Br.de only 16 dead were counted in bus accidents in 2023, while 1,183 people lost their lives in auto accidents. Accidents with coaches are rare, but can be quite dangerous, especially if the bus gets on the side.

security measures are therefore of great importance in bus traffic. The German Road Safety Council recommends checking the qualification of the bus driver before the start of the trip and ensuring that statutory steering and rest periods are observed. Responsibility when creating the seat belt is also with every passenger itself. Additional safety precautions such as instruction by the bus driver could also minimize the risk of injuries.

summarized it can be said that despite the joy of traveling by bus, especially in the case of school trips, mindfulness and security should also be a top priority in order to avoid accidents. We wish the affected students and teachers of today's quick recovery!
