Accessibility statement

This website is meant to be usable by as many people as possible – including people with low vision or hearing, people who use only a keyboard and people who use a screen reader. This page explains how far that has been achieved and where gaps remain.

Scope

This statement applies to the website www.drivers-seat.de in German and English. drivers-seat.de is a private, non-commercial website. It is not subject to a legal accessibility requirement such as the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz, BFSG). This statement is voluntary.

Accessibility status

The website follows the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA, and partially conforms to them. This is based on a self-assessment carried out in November 2026.

What has been implemented

  • Every page has its own title, a clear heading structure and the correct language setting. German terms in English texts and English terms in German texts are marked so that screen readers pronounce them correctly.
  • The website can be used with a keyboard. Keyboard focus is shown by a clearly visible outline. The keyboard navigation at the top of each page takes you straight to the main content, the menu or the headings.
  • Text and buttons have sufficient contrast, and text is at least 16 pixels in size.
  • Images that convey information have text alternatives.
  • The background video and the slideshow on the home page can be paused with a button. If “reduce motion” is enabled in your operating system, the video, slideshow and animations do not play automatically.
  • Links such as “read more” also tell screen readers where they lead.
  • The fields of the contact form are labelled and support autofill.

Known limitations

  • Photos in the galleries: the individual photos only use the name of the event as their text alternative and do not yet have their own descriptions.
  • Videos: embedded YouTube videos do not always have captions. This depends on the individual video.
  • Email address: the email address in the legal notice is protected against spam and is only shown when JavaScript is enabled. You can also reach me via the contact form or by phone.

These points will be improved step by step.
