Sign "Overtaking is prohibited": penalty for violation. Intersection of continuous

Safe traffic consists of many factors. Each of the situations has its risks and can end in different ways. Violation of traffic rules "Overtaking is prohibited" is one of the most common causes of accidents on the road. This creates the danger of a collision "forehead", which can result in death. Most of the routes today have four or more lanes. On such roads, security is significantly increased, since it is impossible to violate the rules of overtaking. Therefore, there are fewer deaths. Let's talk about overtaking, changing this concept in the light of the current version of the Rules, sanctions for violation and consequences for the driver.

The concept of

What is meant by the term "overtaking"? Previously, the concept was associated with leaving the lane. However, the new version of the rules changed it a little. Now overtaking means advancing one or more vehicles only when the maneuver is carried out with an exit to the oncoming lane and ends with a return to your own.

Thus, it can only take place with two lanes facing in opposite directions. At the same time there should not be a sign "Overtaking is prohibited". A fine is a punishment if the rule is violated.

Maneuver is made on the left side. Overtake on the right is impossible. Even if the prohibition sign is not available, such traffic is punishable by penalties. There is, however, a controversial moment here when a detour to the right is made. Even such a maneuver can be interpreted as overtaking. Let's consider now what kind of violation of the sign "Overtaking is forbidden", the penalty waits for the driver in 2016.

Crossing a single or double strip

Departure to the "counter" with a solid line is an offense, which is punishable by law. It often becomes the cause of serious accidents with a fatal outcome. Therefore, the punishment for intentional or unintentional violation is severe.

However, drivers know how many different situations are encountered on the road. They try to take them into account in the SDA. So, if:

• A car crosses a solid line, that is, an exit to the oncoming lane without the need, the violation is punishable by a fine of up to five thousand rubles;
• These actions are accompanied by an attack on a pedestrian or an accident in which other vehicles have suffered, the rights are taken for a period of up to six months;
• It is a question of saving the life of one's own or other people, such an action will not entail a fine, but this is necessarily indicated in the protocol;
• After the accident it is necessary to deliver the victim to the hospital, and waiting for an ambulance is dangerous for the patient, then a solid line can be crossed and deployed if necessary;
• In front of barely moving vehicles, the presence of a solid line prohibits to make a maneuver, and if a driver violates a penalty.

In the latter case, of course, there is an opportunity to justify, if, for example, the tractor was moving ahead. However, to cross a solid did not end with a fine, you'll have to turn to a good lawyer. And the services of the latter, as you know, can cost much more than the amount of punishment.

Prohibition of overtaking cars with turn signals on

In the rules of overtaking, the case is also included when the ahead of the moving car lit the direction indicators. Then, for a car moving behind it, passing is prohibited. The penalty for ignoring this rule is 5 thousand rubles.

Let's consider several such situations.

Individual cases of overtaking and responsibility for them

1. When turn signals are turned on in the car behind the car and it can go overtaking, you have to wait until the maneuver is over, and only then start your own.
2. If there is no room for maneuver, or there is too little visibility on the road, or there are other obstacles, then overtaking is prohibited.
3. To avoid trouble, in the evening or at night it is better not to make a maneuver.
4. It is necessary to determine precisely what is safe when leaving the Rules for the oncoming lane.
5. In case of any doubt in making a maneuver, it is necessary to wait and wait for such a case when the risk is excluded.

If an accident occurred during the overtaking

It should be noted that even if the Rules allowed on a specific section of the road to overtake, but there was a collision, the driver will always be considered to be the culprit, who went to the oncoming lane. Unfortunately, overtaking under a sign is made by motorists quite often. It is in such cases and there is a maximum number of the most terrible road accidents, which result in fatalities. Well, if overtaking is banned, the penalty is waiting for the driver in any case. Its size reaches, as in other situations, five thousand rubles.

Other cases

In addition to the fact that a fixed sign and a solid line are forbidden to overtake, there are other situations in which it is impossible to maneuver. This applies, for example, when marking on the road is erased. It is necessary to understand the road situation and act in accordance with it. Of course, a good lawyer who challenges the sanction, and here it is useful. But otherwise the driver is waiting for a fine.

For the situation to be recognized on time, you need to know about it in advance. Additions to the rules of overtaking are as follows.

1. Cars are prohibited from overtaking at intersections. If there is an understanding that it is not possible to end the maneuver before the intersection, then it should be abandoned and committed at another suitable moment.
2. Even if there is no marking that prohibits overtaking, this action can not be carried out on pedestrian crossings, since there is a danger for pedestrians.
3. If there is a railway crossing ahead, then a maneuver is not allowed for a hundred meters before it and even more so on it.
4. The same goes for dangerous turns. Even if the markup allows, but there is a sign warning of the approach of a dangerous turn, ahead of the vehicle can not be overtaken.
5. One should not even think about maneuvering while on an overpass, overpass, bridge or other structures artificially created and intended for the movement of vehicles.

Remember about responsibility

It is always worth remembering that it may end not only with a fine violation of "Overtaking is prohibited." It may happen that the driver will be guilty of the death of another person. And with this you have to live the rest of your life. And a lot of it to comprehend what happened behind bars.

Do not rely on "at random" and believe in what will suddenly "carry". After all, there are a lot of such cases. Therefore, it is better to follow the rules of the road, thereby protecting yourself from unpleasant consequences. If the traffic rules are observed scrupulously, then the driver will not have problems. He will not bring trouble to other people and will not become a source of danger.

How to dispute a fine?

Good lawyers are valued in any field of activity. Is not an exception and automotive subjects. Often, those who face imprisonment need the help of a lawyer. And with other less serious matters they can cope easily. After all, the road surface in Russia is far from perfect. This is the basis for building an evidence base.

Here are some situations that can mitigate the responsibility or even cancel it.

1. The sign was placed in the wrong place for this purpose, or it was not cleared from the trees, or it can not be disassembled.
2. The markings on the road have been erased or not visible, or for other reasons did not meet the standards.
3. Passable transport was moving at very low speed or at all, so the intersection of the marking of the solid line had to be made, making sure that the road was safe.
4. The driver knows that in this place, overtaking is prohibited, the penalty for the offense is a fine of 5 thousand rubles. However, the maneuver was not done through his fault, but in order to avoid a collision.
5. The violation was committed in the provision of medical assistance to a person injured in an accident, for delivery to the hospital.

Evidence of what happened could be:

• Photographs, where there were fixed hardly noticeable marks;
• Recording made from the DVR;
• Others.

Of course, it is not easy to build your defense to a driver who does not understand legal issues. Therefore, in such situations, one can not do without the support of a specialist. Then there is a real possibility of proving your innocence or at least reducing the size of the sanctions.

Conclusion

Thus, if there are justifiable grounds, you can go to court to seek justice and to absolve yourself from punishment. But if the driver's guilt is complete, then expect that the lawyer will make a "miracle" is not worth it. It makes no sense to prove to employees who arrived at the scene of the incident. However, you do not need to sign a protocol where you agree with everything.

First you need to study all the subtleties of overtaking and changes adopted in 2016. Then you should analyze the situation calmly. Then you can make a decision.

The driver knows that he is entitled to a fine when making a maneuver on the sign "Overtaking is prohibited". But it is worth remembering that at the same time he endangers his life and health of his and other people. Even if the lawyer performs a "miracle", this misdemeanor will not brighten up the further fate.
