Celebrating on New Year's Eve: Financial expert gives tips on safety behind the wheel

According to a report by www.come-on.de,

New Year's Eve is just around the corner and with it a time of increased risk on the roads. TÜV station manager Jan Schultheis warns of the dangers that can arise from fireworks, residual alcohol and unsuitable footwear when driving.

On New Year's Eve, the risk of accidents increases due to drunk pedestrians, fireworks on the street and increased alcohol consumption. Drivers should also ensure that their ability to drive is not impaired by residual alcohol. Wearing high heels behind the wheel can also be problematic and lead to partial blame in the event of an accident.

With regard to residual alcohol, Schultheis emphasized that concentration and coordination difficulties can occur from just 0.2 per mille and that from 0.3 per mille there is a risk of penalties and a loss of driving license. He also gives tips on how to store your car safely on New Year's Eve to avoid damage from fireworks.

It is important that drivers act with particular foresight and caution this night to protect themselves and other road users.

These factors can have a significant impact on the insurance sector, as liability, partially comprehensive and fully comprehensive insurance provide for different cost coverage depending on the claim.

In summary, it is of great importance during New Year's Eve to take the special risks into account and to behave responsibly on the road in order to avoid accidents and damage.
