People detect and evaluate risks in different ways. It is not possibly to prevent each and every dangerous situation when it comes to traffic – but every participant in traffic has a large influence on the level of his or her own risk. With the main focus campaign in 2016, the Unfallkassen (accident insurances), Berufsgenossenschaften (German Social Accident Insurance Institutions) and the German Road Safety Council want to inspire a stronger awareness of risks and offer solutions for responsible handling of dangerous situations in traffic. For this purpose ‘Risk Check’ tries to get to the bottom of typical behaviors and provides possible decisions.

Three brochures as well as the website www.risiko-check.info address drivers of trucks, transporters, cars and motorcycles as well as bikers and pedestrians.
