Auto aggression in Berlin traffic: UDV study shows alarming development

According to a report by www.tagesspiegel.de, a study of accident research by the insurers shows that the willingness of aggressive and dangerous behavior in road traffic has increased among drivers in Berlin and elsewhere. Half of the drivers surveyed shows understanding for aggressive behavior such as pushing or cutting other road users in road traffic. It is particularly worrying that the willingness to press the gas in the event of anger has increased and that the proportion of those who may be allowed to get involved with more alcohol in the blood more than doubled. In addition, there is a distorted self -image of many road users who often do not perceive their own misconduct in road traffic as such.

in Berlin, the problem is particularly likely to be shown due to the high traffic density. This could significantly impair traffic safety. Accident research of the insurers sees urgent need for action to increase traffic safety and requires greater control and monitoring in road traffic. In addition, awareness of considerate behavior in road traffic should be strengthened by targeted reconnaissance campaigns.

The results of the study also show that consent to stricter rules in road traffic has risen, especially with regard to speed restrictions and the introduction of a zero promise for drivers. Traffic safety in Berlin is therefore an important topic that must be addressed urgently to ensure the safety of all road users.
