Road traffic
In 2023, 2,839 people lost their lives in road accidents in Germany, according to the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis). This was 1.8 percent or 51 more fatalities than in the previous year. The number of people injured in road traffic accidents also rose compared to 2022, by 1.5% to 366,557. According to Destatis, this was due to a 3.4% increase in the number of minor injuries to 313,655, while the number of serious injuries fell by 8.4% to 52,902 people. This means that an average of 8 people were killed, 145 seriously injured and 859 slightly injured on German roads per day in 2023.
The #mehrAchtung initiative launched a new chapter in the “Slow down” campaign a year ago. Basi has been a media partner of this campaign from the outset, which has now presented its initial results at the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport in Berlin.
Anyone who drives while stoned is risking their life and the well-being of others. This also applies to riding a bike or e-scooter. That’s why the #mehrAchtung campaign appeals to consumers: “Don’t drive high!”. If you take care of yourself and your fellow human beings, you should not actively participate in road traffic for a longer period of time after smoking weed. Basi is a media partner of the #mehrAchtung campaign.
An initiative launched by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) and the German Road Safety Council (DVR) aims to ensure #moreattention in road traffic. Basi, the Federal Working Group for Safety and Health at Work, is supporting the initiative as a partner as part of the “Slow down” campaign. The aim is to increase road safety.
