Right-wing interference: SPD members in Lichterfelde attacked!
On Saturday, December 14, 2024, there was a presumably right -wing extremist attack on members of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) at a bus stop on Lankwitzer Strasse in Lichterfelde. The Berlin police asked the population to clarify the background of this incident. According to a report on berlin.de , a reference was set up by the State Criminal Police Office.
In a further incident, a 60-year-old cyclist in Köpenick was seriously injured in a traffic accident on the same evening. According to initial knowledge, the cyclist disregarded the right of 24-year-old driver of a small van at 7:50 p.m. at the Köpenzeile's intersection. Due to the collision, the cyclist suffered head injuries and had to be taken to the hospital for inpatient treatment. A specialist commissioner for traffic offenses from Police Directorate 3 (East) has started the investigation. According to haufe.de Jurisprudence disputes whether the cyclist retains priority right in the wrong direction despite his driving style. Nevertheless, the majority of the judgments have spoken in favor of that in such cases the cyclist must basically be taken into account the overlap of liability shares, which could bring him a certain relief.
traffic law implications
The incident also raises questions about the legal consequences in road traffic. If a cyclist violates the provision of Section 2 (4) sentence 2 of the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), he must expect significant liability. While he may have priority law, his joint responsibility in the damage assessment is also taken into account, he should violate precautionary measures, such as driving on the sidewalk. In this special case, the liability distribution between the two participants in the accident could vary significantly depending on the exact circumstances of the incident, which means that the driver of the small van could bear predominant liability depending on the facts.
