for the First time in several years, victims two children killed, both of which drove the wheel, both accidents occurred in mid-June: A 13-year-old girl was in Rummelsburg under a tram, an eight-year-old was recognised in the car in Spandau by a right turn and load. In the years prior to that, a maximum of one child had been killed. The ADFC criticised the fact that Berlin has become safer.

The Association of foot traffic, and warned again of the danger by means of electric micro-vehicles.

"E-vehicles to destroy the shelter of the pedestrian, said in a statement the Association of "foot".

For cyclists to the right, turning the Truck back to the greatest danger. Four of the 11 cyclists killed died. Because of the frequency of these accidents cause traffic Senator Regine Günther had the car (independent, Green), now a mandatory equipment of the load with assistance systems to warn the driver when making a Turn. Slowik and hostage praised on Monday the work of the Bicycle season of the police. The 20 police officers sitting in 2014, exclusively in the saddle at work in the middle, the number of serious Bicycle accidents is significantly decreased, showed a study by the accident research of the insurers.
