Operation (vehicle)
The operation of a motor vehicle is its participation in road traffic, regardless of its operational status and commissioning .
According to the legal rules of road traffic (Germany StVZO , Austria StVO , in Switzerland and most EU states the regulations are corresponding), the operation of a vehicle is any effect of the vehicle on road traffic , i.e. it includes putting it into operational condition (turning the Ignition key and other), commissioning ( starting the engine), driving (“setting the vehicle in motion or keeping it moving”, including towing and towing ), but also parking , getting in and out , loading and unloading or push .
From an insurance point of view, however, operation also includes all relevant processes, provided they do not take place on public traffic areas, e.g. on private property or in forests and meadows, and strict liability also applies here .
Operation ends when the vehicle leaves the traffic area and is ready for operation, ie "is parked on private property or in the garage".
Legally compliant operation of a vehicle requires a type-specific operating permit , as well as approval of the vehicle itself, as well as suitability and authorization of the vehicle owner . The latter is not the driving license , in particular for driving the vehicle the right, but is particularly roadworthiness advance.
