Copied from somewhere else: Tips for danger situations between car and bike Drivers must get used to the increasing presence of motorized two-wheelers again in the spring. The experts from TÜV SÜD give tips on how to avoid danger situations between car and bike as much as possible. Faster than expected: At a long distance or in the oncoming traffic it is often impossible for drivers to see whether a small motorcycle or a heavy machine is closer to the vehicle. This is why the speed of bikers is often underestimated. Therefore, it’s better not to overtake when a motorcycle comes on the other side. Even when turning left, let an opposing two-wheeler pass better than forcing it to complete braking. More confusing than thought: Because motorcycles need little space, they often stand at the red traffic light in a row with a car. If it starts with green, the two-wheelers in terms of acceleration are in any case superimposed The drivers should not be challenged to a race, according to the traffic experts of TÜV SÜD. Keyword traffic lights: When bikers push past a car column sideways, they can easily disappear in dangerous blind spots. Therefore, drivers must in any case throw a control view over the shoulder before turning off. Longer than thought: Wendig and a short braking distance. This (pre-)judgment falls many car handlers over motorcycles. However, because the two-wheeler has to dose the front and rear brakes well in order not to fall, the braking distance is longer for bikers with little practice in any case. In bad weather or bad ground this is also true for Routiniers. Closer than intended: In order to be able to drive their ideal line, motorcyclists are often in curves near the middle strip. Drivers should therefore not cut curves in any case. More than roofed. t: Finally, the advice of the experts from TÜV SÜD: Bikers are often on the road in groups. Drivers should think about this above all about estuaries, crossings and overtaking!
