Reversing collision

While reversing in a car park, narrow street or dead end, hitting the car behind or a fixed object is common; sight angle and maneuver space are the basis of review.

Fault assessment: KTK art. 53 imposes maximum care and a duty to yield when reversing or turning; the reversing driver is usually faulted, and the adjuster evaluates the maneuver geometry.

Step by step

1

Stop and assess

Stop immediately on impact; calmly assess the situation without disturbing the contact point by moving forward.
2

Inform the other party

If a driver is present, exchange information; if the car is parked and the owner is absent, follow the parked-car steps.
3

Document the maneuver

Photograph the reversing angle, any sight obstruction and the damage; call the expert line to begin the process.
4

Official record

The adjuster writes a fault opinion based on maneuver space and the duty to yield, then signs the report.

The adjuster-report difference

Unlike the mutual report drivers fill out among themselves, in this scenario the report is prepared by an independent, SBM-registered insurance adjuster who supports the fault opinion with a sketch. The service is also distinct from SBM's own Mobil KTT / ALO KTT apps; an independent expert assessment helps prevent disputes between the parties.
