The aggressive driving style of an unknown driver in Upper Austria causes incomprehension among many “Krone” readers. After apparently taking too long to overtake another driver, he simply rammed him. Traffic generally seems to be getting busier.
There is a heated discussion online about Günther S.’s experience on the Westautobahn near Eberstalzell. The 57-year-old was on his way to work in his electric car on Wednesday morning when he apparently took too long to overtake and was thwarted several times by another driver and ultimately rammed.
Different opinions
While a user says: “With his E-Kraxn he has to stay behind the truck, they still drive 100 km/h, then he has more battery capacity left”, the behavior of the car hooligan is rejected by many: “Nowadays you have a dashcam -need a car, otherwise you’re a fool. Unfortunately, there are many of these drivers who are annoying when they flash their lights and drive close.”
Insurance must clarify the question of fault
When it comes to small video cameras, the legal situation is difficult, but to prove your innocence in the event of an accident, the material can be handed over to the police. Which would have been useful in the case of Günther S.. Because no one was injured in the collision, insurance companies must now clarify the question of fault.
Drivers are becoming more and more selfish
A survey by the Road Safety Executive Board shows that 55 percent of participants agree that road traffic feels rougher. When asked about the biggest road safety problems, recklessness or selfishness came second after speeding.
It’s happened to everyone: you’re driving your car on the highway and move into the left lane to overtake a truck. Even if you are already driving at high speed, there are still road users who cannot go fast enough.
People come closer and flash their lights loudly to draw attention to themselves. Lawns save little time in the long run. If you complete a 50 kilometer route at an average speed of 140 km/h instead of 120 km/h, you will only save about three minutes. That is hardly reason enough to provoke dangerous situations.
