The horror for every mom: The children stand obediently at the crosswalk, wait, the car stops, the car behind them too, the children go, suddenly both vehicles overtake a third car from behind - regardless of pedestrians or crosswalks. Incidentally, this scene actually happened in the middle of Ziebach. But it was not Mama who watched, but the police. Kids even wore yellow safety vests with reflective materials - clearly visible from a distance as a school walk training.
"I was shocked". Admits frankly traffic cop Franz Mayer. "This has never happened to me during school-leaving training for preschool children." the kindergartens are always allowed to cross the crosswalk with their hi vis vests. Franz Mayer waits at the edge, on the other side she receives an educator.
Many drivers do not follow the traffic rules
"We do this training every year with kindergartens in the Inn valley," explains Mayer, who does this together with his colleague Roland Minter. But this year, the two noticed especially that many drivers do not follow the traffic rules. Because the stating: If a pedestrian waits at a zebra crossing, the car must hold compellingly.
If it drives anyway, it costs 80 Euros and a point in Flensburg. A total of 23 motorists alone during the school exercise disregarded this rule and took the children's right of way.
