For the second Time within a week, it is the car in Zurich to a serious accident between a truck and a cyclist came in. Why is this happening again and again?
The circumstances are not clear yet. It is clear, however, that the trucks large blind spots to your sides. And many cyclists of this fact in the everyday life on the street are too little aware of.
How to behave in the car as a cyclist at the best in addition to the load?
If you car as a cyclist in addition to a load, you have already done something wrong. If the truck is in motion, you should either be five metres or five metres from the rear of a truck. At best, if you keep this distance always.
What if there is no other way?
avoid these accidents, of course. The Problem in the case of accidents with trucks, but that they are always very serious. The need to be the Velofahrerin and cyclists aware of.
Need to raise the awareness of the car the cyclist on the inside and cyclists specifically for dealing with load?
In the school is treated in the subject. Children actually learn how dangerous the heavy traffic for cyclists can be. The Problem of prevention campaigns is that not all people can be achieved.
What options do you see?
It provides for us the question of whether so much heavy traffic in the narrow, dense cities populated necessary and still is. Or whether you could switch to a smaller truck. It is certainly the case, to minimise the heavy traffic in the inner cities.
What other possibilities do you see else?
A fully developed velonetz work, as there is in the Northern cities, in General, to safety on the roads. Do you mean: structurally separated bike paths, such as on sidewalks, half-height, or those that stand by themselves. Such accidents are not to be avoided even then.
