Accident Classification System (GDV)
Type 3 : Special cases
Note:
It makes no difference, whether the obligation to give way was expressed by signs, traffic lights or by a general rule (e.g. traffic from the right has
priority).
If a road user without priority wants to turn left at a crossing and crashes with on coming traffic it is a type 2
accident (turning off accident).
If a road user without priority, while turning in onto a superior road leaves the road because of e.g. not adapted
speed or an icy road, without there being a conflict with a priority vehicle, it is a type 1 accident (driving
accident).
Is there a conflict between a non priority vehicle which is stopping, braking or going slowly because it has to wait
and between a vehicle from the following traffic, it is a type 6 accident (accident in lateral traffic).
