Intersection at the end of overtaking: traffic rules

The modern ever-increasing rhythm of life dictates its conditions. The desire to catch up everywhere and in time leads to an increase in the number of cars on the roads. However, riding, as you know, has certain limitations, which irritates eternally hurrying drivers. Perhaps, therefore, overtaking with the intersection of continuous axial marking is being carried out more often.

What is the overtaking

This maneuver consists of three actions:

• Departure to the left or oncoming lane;
• Ahead of the vehicle ahead;
• Return to your lane.

Before you start overtaking, you should make sure that there is no interference from other cars, your car will not create a dangerous situation, and the distance to maneuver is enough. Interferences and hazards can be as follows:

• The ahead TS gives a signal of a turn to the left;
• The vehicle following, the beginning of the overtaking;
• When returning to their lane, obstacles to the overtaken vehicle will be created to complete the maneuver;
• Ahead of the car is already overtaking.

In addition, the SDA prohibits this maneuver:

• At the railway crossing and a hundred meters before it;
• In the presence of pedestrians at a pedestrian crossing;
• On sections of roads with poor visibility;
• In tunnels, overpasses or overpasses;
• 100 m before the end of the ascent;
• At adjustable intersections and at unregulated ones, if you are on a secondary road.

In theory

The intersection is solid at the end of the overtaking - the action is both prohibited and permissible. And the outcome of what happened does not depend on the driver, but on the employees of the road service, or rather on the quality of their work.

According to the SDA, intersection markings 1.1 - a serious violation, which can lead to severe penalties. But the current GOST for road marking is practically not observed anywhere.

Before the start of a solid on the roadway, a strip of special size must be applied. It is longer than the standard - intermittent - three times, and the intervals are much shorter. The appearance of such a marking makes it clear to the driver that overtaking can end already on solid. Referring to this fact, to prove his innocence is simple enough.

Supreme Court ruling

The meeting, at which the intersection of the solid line was discussed at the end of the overtaking, recognized this maneuver as a rather serious offense. However, liability can be avoided if it is proved that the violation was provoked by road services, which did not bother to comply with the standards established by GOST.

And if so?

Auto-assistants very often have to explain to drivers the situation with "seemingly as" not the intersection of continuous markup. In general, everything looks like this. The car for overtaking crosses the intermittent line of marking, then it moves along the counter strip with the solid section and completes the overtaking, already crossing the discontinuous line of marking. Visually there is no violation. And legislatively? There is. Movement on the opposite direction behind the solid lines of marking is prohibited!

Another myth says that a detour of a route vehicle or a slow-going person is punished only by a fine of one thousand rubles. But today the law has been amended, and at best it will have to pay 5,000 rubles, and at worst it is possible to lose a driver's license for up to six months.

What is fraught with the intersection of a solid at the end of overtaking

Violating the provisions of Part 2 of Article 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (ignoring markings or road signs), you can get off with a small fine. The recovery from a thousand to one and a half thousand rubles threatens the driver, who on the opposite lane drove around the scene of an accident or other obstacle, although there was an opportunity to do this on the right.

The same amount of penalty will be assigned to the driver if he proves to the inspector that he went to the oncoming lane through intermittent marking, but returned through a solid one not at all to overtake. In this case, you can punish only for the wrong location of the vehicle on the road. Most often all these details are written in the protocol, so you need to insist on getting to know him. And when signing, to fix their disagreement with the opinion of the traffic police.

But if you still crossed the markup 1.1 or fixed the intersection of a double solid at the end of overtaking by the inspector of traffic police, the driver has several options for resolving the situation:

1. Recognize your guilt. In this case, the protocol will be compiled on the spot.

2. Deny the deed. This situation also implies a protocol, but with a continuation in the inspection (the same result can be if the car was not the owner of the car).

3. An offense is obvious. Then the protocol is compiled without fail. The penalty is issued immediately. Documents upon completion of registration will be submitted to the court.

The decision of the judge is significantly influenced by fines imposed on the motorist earlier (even if they are all redeemed). The only exceptions are fines from the fixation systems.

You can mitigate the punishment by proving that the car is needed as the only way to earn money, and you have underage children.

When it came to court

If, nevertheless, the court confesses guilt, then, by agreeing with him and repenting in the deed, one can also mitigate the punishment. Otherwise, another meeting will be appointed, for which the inspectors of the traffic police will be attracted as witnesses. Naturally, the judge will believe them, and the foreclosure will be deprivation of rights.

If the exit to the oncoming lane was not connected with turning or turning to the left, the driver will be fined 5,000 rubles or (depending on the severity of the consequences) will be stripped of the rights for a period of four to six months. The fixed re-crossing of the continuous line of marking at the end of overtaking entails the unambiguous withdrawal of the driver's license for a year.

Virtually every violation associated with the intersection of a continuous centerline markup - whether single or double, - is subject to judicial review. An exception may be an offense, the protocol for which is based on the data of video surveillance or photo-fixation systems. In this case, the driver will only be fined. The decision is formed automatically. The alleged offender will receive a copy of the act by registered mail.

Appeal the fine for crossing a solid at the end of the overtaking is possible. Prove it will be necessary either the presence of fuzzy markup, or the extreme need for such an action, or a video fixer error (for example, the number plate is incorrectly defined).

Valid Exceptions

The intersection of solid markings will not be recognized as a violation if there is no possibility to go around the obstacle on the right-hand side.

It is permissible to slow the braking on the road to the oncoming traffic if there is a possibility of a dangerous approach to the vehicle in front or an obvious emergency situation. And also on the opposite side you can be the result of a blow. If there is an opportunity to prove the existence of the described situations, then the fault from the driver is completely removed. But you need to consider that the confirmation must be serious - the testimony of witnesses and / or recording from the DVR.

Perhaps the intersection of a solid at the end of overtaking was a necessity

It can be such weighty arguments:

• After an accident, the victim needs to be taken to a medical facility, and there is no way to wait for ambulance;
• The code "gives the go-ahead" to the intersection solid when overtaking, if it is a question of saving the lives of passengers and / or the driver;
• The warning sign was in the wrong place, so there was no chance to "read" it.

How to avoid liability

The intersection is solid at the end of overtaking (2016 made its own corrections) - today is a very urgent issue. There are several nuances that will help to solve the case in favor of the driver.

Inspector of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate must necessarily record in the record that the road markings do not correspond to the established GOSTs. Also it is necessary to ask the traffic police officer to draw up the most detailed scheme of the alleged violation. For the judge, this will be a pretty strong argument. If the case comes to court, it will be good to enlist the support of two witnesses and / or an auteur with an impeccable reputation.

The penalty for crossing the solid at the end of overtaking can be tried to challenge by GOST 52289-2004 (with changes and additions from 2016). If the inspector of the road patrol service finishes the motorist for completing the overtaking after the end of the separation 1.6, then he seems to be as right. But ... In the GOST 6.2.8 point it is indicated that the 1.6 marking line informs the driver about the approach of the axial solid line. And it is applied for 50-100 meters to the continuous marking. And in the section "General requirements" it is written that the road sign is installed along the right edge of the roadway, and its visibility zone is about 100 meters.

The average car passes 100 meters in 4-5 seconds. Consequently, the intersection of the continuous band at the end of the overtaking occurred not through the fault of the driver, and there is nothing to punish him. By the way, this decision is often taken by the court.

Continuous and intermittent at the same time

Interesting and controversial situation, often discussed by the autourists. The conversation is about the markup 1.11, which can be crossed from the interrupted part, and the solid part of it is intersected by the driver returning to its lane. But sometimes on the lane with intermittent markings set the sign "Overtaking is prohibited." How to be in this situation? Adhere to the rules that say that a road sign has priority over road markings. And a car enthusiast who committed such an act should not be liable for crossing the continuous after the overtaking, but for failure to comply with the requirements of the established road sign.

To the driver for a note

The size of the monetary penalty for overtaking through a solid can be increased, even arrest for 15 days is possible. Thus irresponsible drivers are punished, who did not pay a fine in the 60 days indicated by the law.

There are officially laid privileges to responsible motorists. The fine, paid within 20 days from the date of the ruling, is reduced by exactly half. The norm is valid from 2016 onwards.

And with regard to the device for shooting. The times of fixing violations on household video cameras have sunk to oblivion. Today, DPS inspectors should have special devices. And the driver, accused of crossing a solid, has the right to view the record. And at the same time pay attention to sealing, the availability of a license, as well as on the dates of the next verification and calibration of the device.
