Audio: More and more drivers in Schleswig-Holstein (1 min) speaker On and of them: Number of drivers in SH at the highest level: 04.09.2025 05:00 a.m. The number of accidents in Schleswig-Holstein has been increasing for years.In 2024 she reached a new high with over 20,500 cases.Experts demand more prevention and clear rules. By Hauke ​​Bülow A supposedly small parking biller, a crazy outlet: In Schleswig-Holstein, the police followed more drivers than ever before last year.According to the state police office, 20,584 cases were registered in 2024, around 3,000 more than in 2020. The number of injuries also increased significantly.In 2024, 1,238 people were injured in drivers, also maximum. Parking spaces: hotspots for driver escape According to the police, most accidents occur in parking spaces.Mirrors are driven off, bumpers scratched, many causers simply drive away.Particularly problematic: there are often no witnesses and many damage would not be noticed by the vehicle owners hours or days later.According to the State Police Office, this makes it difficult to secure evidence.Although the police are based on methods such as paint and trace analyzes or video evaluations, a reconstruction of the accident is often difficult or impossible. ADAC sees reform needs This will be expensive: an expert estimates this damage at around 2,500 euros. Also with the contract lawyers of the ADAC Schleswig-Holstein, damaged drivers or members who themselves are suspected of having caused damage are repeatedly caused.In many cases, however, it is difficult to determine the polluter, said ADAC spokesman Rainer Pregla."It is not clear to many how expensive a scratch in the paint, a bump or supposedly small damage to the body can become," said Pregla."If the accident driver cannot be determined, the injured party remains at the costs or must - if concluded - make use of fully comprehensive insurance."The ADAC therefore sees reform needs.Accident drivers should be able to report damage digitally instead of having to wait for the injured party for a long time at the scene of the accident. Insurance: Hard consequences for resolved accidents From the perspective of the insurance industry, driver escape is anything but a cavalier offense.At NDR Schleswig-Holstein, the HUK Coburg said that escape cases in liability and comprehensive insurance generally lead to services being deleted.In addition, recourse claims of up to 5,000 euros could come to the cause.In some cases, the insurance contract even threatens.For victims without fully comprehensive insurance, only the way through the association "External Link Verkehrtopferhilfe e.V." if the perpetrator is not determined. Driver is a criminal offense The ADAC also reminds: A note on the windshield is not sufficient after a parking bemper.Anyone who moves away from the scene of the accident commands a criminal offense according to § 142 Criminal Code.The consequences could be drastic, according to the automotive club.Finnats, points in Flensburg, driving bans or even withdrawal of the driver's license.And: Pedestrians or cyclists could also escape driver.Even if these cause damage, according to ADAC, you have to wait a "reasonable time" for the vehicle owner.If this is no longer to be expected, the police must be informed. Traffic watch sees social causes The Schleswig-Holstein Verkehrswacht, which is committed to more safety in road traffic, sees an growing social problem in accidents.Many drivers would downplay minor damage, said state manager Elisabeth Pier.Causers often have no desire for "paperwork".In addition, there is the inhibition to admit their own mistakes.The traffic watch therefore relies on prevention and offers parking training itself.At the same time, the association demands that parking spaces in parking garages and public parking spaces should be planned wider so that there are less damage. Driver and domestic violence from shoplifting to assault, drug trafficking, robbery or even murder - the Wolfsburg police are in action.Accident escape to the supermarket car park in Lübeck in a parking lot in Lübeck, a driver rammed another car and fled.The police are looking for witnesses.Rad accident - police Heide investigated because of an accident.
