Attention all drivers: how many dangers there are lurking on German motorways: bathtubs, llamas, umbrellas, inflatable dinghies and much more. Deutschlandfunk broadcasts its traffic news roughly 30 times a day with an average of five danger warnings. Carsten Schneider spent a year collecting 70,000 dangers, and then seven years making an audio play out of them. The texts were spoken by various presenters at Deutschlandfunk.
