A fatal and avoidable lorry accident with four car occupants killed on Shrove Monday 2018 prompted the founding of the Hellwach mit 80 km/h e.V. association.
Read about how such a tragic accident at the end of a traffic jam can affect the lives of so many people, but can also be a wake-up call to do more for road safety and get closer to Vision Zero.
The book shows how this can be achieved with the Max Eighty idea.
It can be used as an accompanying work within the framework of the training and further training content prescribed by law for drivers and trainers in Annex 1, sections 1.2, 1.3a and 3.1 of the german Professional Driver Qualification Ordinance (BKrFQV). The regulations now apply across Europe.
The maxim is both an appeal and a motivation:
It's time for change - time to stay alive!

Dieter Schäfer spent 16 years of his 26 years of management responsibility at Mannheim Police Headquarters as head of the traffic police and developed a number of sustainable prevention initiatives.
His last one is still with him today. He is cofounder of the "Hellwach mit 80 km/h e.V." initiative and works tirelessly on expanding a network of supporters of the Max Eighty idea. An idea of using simple means and minor behavioural changes to bring behaviour in road traffic to get closer to Vision Zero and counteract accidental death.
The initiative was one of the first members of the Pact for Road Safety of the german Federal Ministry for Digitalisation and Transport.
In the field of freight transport and logistics, the association is working on an international network to initiate a movement for more anticipatory and considerate driving.
