Beverage leads to unintentional brake activation

On Sunday morning at 11:50 AM, an incident occurred on the L151 road heading towards Hümmel-Falkenberg. A group of cyclists and a group of motorcyclists were involved in the incident, but fortunately, no one was injured.

The details of the incident are still under investigation, but it is known that a 54-year-old motorcyclist was sprayed with water from a 21-year-old cyclist's water bottle. This unexpected event caused a minor collision with a 34-year-old cyclist, who was in front of the motorcyclist at the time.

Investigations are underway to determine how the water from the bottle ended up in the motorcyclist's face. The traffic commission has initiated a procedure due to suspicion of endangering traffic, but the investigation subject in the ongoing inquiry for dangerous traffic violations is not specified in the provided information.

This incident serves as a reminder for all road users to maintain courtesy and safety, regardless of whether one is on two wheels with or without a motor. Courtesy is emphasized as the best brake, and a reminder was given that water belongs in the bottle, not in the flow of traffic.

Moreover, during overtaking maneuvers, maintaining a safe distance is encouraged as it saves lives. Educational traffic discussions were held with all parties involved to reinforce these important safety guidelines.

As the investigation continues, the authorities urge all road users to exercise caution and responsibility while on the road. It is everyone's responsibility to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey for all.
