Lane violation

Side-by-side contact from changing lanes without signaling or crossing the line is common; line position and signal use are critical to technical assessment.

Fault assessment: KTK art. 56 governs lane keeping and changing; an unsignaled or unsafe lane change affects technical assessment, and the adjuster examines the contact point and lane position.

Step by step

1. 1

   Pull to a safe spot

   If both cars can move, pull onto the hard shoulder or side road and stop without blocking traffic.

2. 2

   Preserve the contact point

   If possible, photograph the contact marks and lane position before moving; scrape marks indicate fault.

3. 3

   Get expert support

   Call the expert line to learn which pieces of evidence matter most in a lane-violation scenario.

4. 4

   Adjuster report

   The adjuster writes a technical opinion under signal and lane rules and issues the report with a sketch.

The adjuster-report difference

Unlike the mutual report drivers fill out among themselves, in this scenario the report is prepared by an authorised, registered and impartial insurance adjuster who supports the technical opinion with a sketch. Under Law 5684 art. 22/17, the report has evidential value in the insurance process.
