Verkehrsunfall Timelkam Vöcklabruck: Abbiegen – Meine Erfahrung und Tipps
Hey Leute! Let's talk about something nobody wants to experience: a car accident. Specifically, accidents involving turning – Abbiegen – in the Timelkam/Vöcklabruck area. I've had my fair share of near-misses, and one really scary incident, so I thought I'd share my story and hopefully prevent some of you from going through the same thing.
My Close Call: A Lesson in Blind Spots
So, picture this: I'm driving through Timelkam, heading towards Vöcklabruck. Beautiful day, sun shining, you know? I'm at a junction, ready to turn right. I checked my mirrors, of course – that's rule number one, right? – but I totally missed a motorbike coming up fast in my blind spot. It was super close. My heart hammered! I swear I almost had a heart attack. Luckily, the biker was skilled, braked hard, and avoided a collision. I was so shaken up.
That was a wake-up call. A massive one. I realized how easily things can go wrong, even when you think you're being careful. It taught me a crucial lesson about defensive driving, and how important it is to account for blind spots.
Blind Spot Awareness: It's Not Just Mirrors
This isn't just about using your mirrors; it's about actively checking. It’s about really looking. Before making any turn – and this is especially crucial when turning right in areas like Timelkam and Vöcklabruck, where traffic can be unpredictable – I now do the following:
- Shoulder Check: After checking my mirrors, I always do a thorough shoulder check. This is non-negotiable.
- Slow Down: Approaching the junction, I slow right down. It’s better to be a bit late than never arrive at all.
- Take My Time: I don't rush the turn. No need to be a speed demon. Safety first. Always.

The area around Timelkam and Vöcklabruck has its own quirks when it comes to turning. There are often narrow roads, lots of cyclists, and sometimes, unpredictable pedestrian traffic. Here’s what I’ve learned:
- Visibility: Some junctions have limited visibility. Be extra cautious in these spots.
- Cyclists & Pedestrians: Always expect the unexpected; be prepared for pedestrians and cyclists to suddenly appear.
- Local Knowledge: If you aren't familiar with the area, take it slow, and maybe even use a navigation system to help familiarize yourself with the roads and potential hazards.
