Accident Classification System (GDV)<br />
Type 1 : Special cases<br />
Note:<br />
Expressions in the <strong>accident</strong> description like “… started to skid” or “…run <strong>of</strong>f the road” do not necessarily mean that it is a driving <strong>accident</strong>.<br />
If a driver loses control over his vehicle, attempting to avoid a vehicle parking on the same side, it is an “<strong>accident</strong> with<br />
parking vehicles” (501).<br />
If the driver attempted to avoid a broken down vehicle, it is an “other <strong>accident</strong> type” (742).<br />
It is an “<strong>accident</strong> in lateral traffic” if a driver attempted to avoid a pedestrian (672) or a slowly moving vehicle (601).<br />
This is independent <strong>of</strong> the fact if there was a collision with the <strong>accident</strong> causer as a result <strong>of</strong> the conflict situation, or if<br />
there was a collision with another road user or if the vehicle ran <strong>of</strong> the road.<br />
If a driver loses control over his vehicle because <strong>of</strong> too high speed when turning <strong>of</strong>f, it is a “driving <strong>accident</strong>”.<br />
