A driver assistance system for collision avoidance includes an environmental sensor for detecting an obstacle on an anticipated trajectory of a vehicle. A computing unit searches for a first evasion trajectory on which the obstacle is collision-free and for a second evasion trajectory which is transmitted from the probable trajectory and on which the obstacle can be traversed without collision. A steering system is controllable by a computing unit to steer the vehicle along one of the evasion trajectories. The computing unit is arranged to steer the steering system only and to steer the vehicle along the first evasion trajectory when the search for the second evasion trajectory is unsuccessful.
