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!
