In some cases experienced drivers not able to clearly understand, overtaking and leading, what is the difference, what do these concepts mean.
Experienced drivers, and even more so beginners, often face similar difficulties. Often the lack of such knowledge leads to an unexpected meeting with the inspectors and to emergency collisions.
The vehicle, as practice shows, is the source heightened danger, therefore, the driver in the process of carrying out the appropriate maneuver must clearly understand what he is doing - overtaking or advancing.
Concepts of overtaking and advance
Before studying the features and differences between overtaking and advancing, it is necessary to find out what these concepts mean, that is, what is overtaking and what is advancing.
Leading is the movement of a vehicle along the highway at a speed exceeding the number of cars traveling nearby. Such a maneuver is carried out strictly within the boundaries of its intended movement.
Overtaking is a certain form of advancing one, two or more cars with simultaneous departure to the opposite lane and with a mandatory return to their original lane or part of the carriageway.
Overtaking is not always traffic violation. If road markings allow this process, if there are no signs prohibiting overtaking, if overtaking is carried out in accordance with all the rules, it will not be a violation of the law.
The difference between overtaking and leading
Answering the popular question, what is the difference between advancing and overtaking, it can be noted that from the point of view of standard traffic rules, these are fundamentally different terms and actions. This is the difference between overtaking and advancing according to the rules of traffic rules.
It should be noted right away that overtaking is more dangerous maneuver.
In these cases, it is directly related not only to the usual advance of a number of moving cars, but to such accompanying processes as:
- maneuvering to the left;
- exit to a standard oncoming lane or to a nearby lane;
- subsequent return to the original track.
The implementation of standard overtaking must be treated with special care, since there are enough a large number of restrictions and prohibitions on the commission of this process.
Leading is a movement that is carried out within the boundaries of the road belonging to the driver according to the rules of the road.
At the same time, the speed of movement exceeds speed indicators traveling nearby Vehicle.
In this case, there is no access to a nearby oncoming lane, respectively, there is no return of the car to its previously occupied road lane and side.
The procedure for overtaking or advancing is not the only difference between these operations. One of the main differences between overtaking and advancing is that the second can be carried out both on the left side and on the right.
In addition, overtaking, as a maneuver, is strictly limited by traffic rules, moreover, it is prohibited in most situations. There are no such restrictions to advance. Drivers have the right to do it in any situation.
An exception can only be very dense traffic, when all lanes on the highway are occupied by vehicles.
Video: SDA 2019. Topic: Overtaking, ahead, oncoming traffic in simple words
As a conclusion, it can be noted what penalties exist for not incorrect overtaking.
Precisely prescribed sanctions for incorrectly carried out overtaking modern administrative code does not provide. At the same time, one should not forget that the overtaking may be accompanied by a standard exit into the lane of oncoming traffic.
In 2019, article 12.15 part 4 is used to punish the driver. Depending on the complexity of the violation, the driver may be fined up to 5,000 rubles.. It can also be the deprivation of a person's driver's license for about 4-6 months.
Conclusion
Summing up, it can be noted that the SDA does not need to be considered in parts. Studying established rules in a similar way is possible, but to fully understand the set of conditions, it will be necessary to comply with all requirements in a comprehensive manner.
I often see a situation where an obviously two-lane road is used as a four-lane one based on the principle "move over, I have a Lexus / crossover / impudence car".
Is it illegal to overtake on a crossing under such conditions?
How will traffic police officers / car drivers establish guilt / innocence of a driver?
I'll say more. IDPS themselves violate and point-blank do not notice this violation.
Anton if, when passing through the crossing, the car partially drives in the oncoming lane, then this is a violation.
If traffic police officers see this violation, then with a high probability the driver will be deprived of his license or receive a fine of 5,000 rubles.
Good luck on the roads!
Now the question is:
Lead concrete examples when drivers should be guided by road signs, if the meanings of road signs and horizontal marking lines contradict each other, or the markings are not sufficiently distinguishable?
I'm trying to prove that signs don't have advantages, and Serpiph just explains why they don't.
In general, is Appendix 2 to the SDA a myth?
for example, a gap in a continuous markup and in front of it a sign "no U-turn" (it seems like it was possible to turn around, the markup does not prohibit, but no, the sign does not allow). or the opposite situation, solid markings and a temporary "move only to the left" sign. full of such situations.
and yes, there are no contradictions with continuous markings and the abolition of the "no overtaking" sign. the sign allows overtaking, just markings in this place does not allow exit to the oncoming lane, the sign will be valid until the next intersection, which may still be hell when the markings change 100 times
Dmitry-230
Good afternoon
Dmitry-230, indeed, overtaking at such an intersection is allowed: 11.4. Overtaking prohibited:
on regulated crossroads, as well as on unregulated crossroads when driving on a road that is not the main one; Please note that overtaking is allowed only at this intersection.
at the same time, markings are applied in the form of a continuousYou cannot overtake before the intersection (solid markings). Try to start and finish overtaking at the intersection itself (fun joke). If you finish overtaking after the intersection, you can lose your license (it’s also solid there), although there are no traffic violations, it will be quite difficult to prove that you started overtaking at the intersection itself (and this is already serious).
GDW nik got ahead of me)) but still I'll put in my "five cents":
Dmitry, not allowed, A not prohibited. Do you catch the difference?One of the signs 2.3.1-2.3.7 is installed on the track, judging by the article, overtaking is allowed on this section.
Actually, they don't contradict each other. complement each other!In fact, the sign contradicts the markings (the sign allows overtaking at an unregulated crossroads, while the markings are solid)
The dotted line is applied only at the intersection, allowing you to turn (turn around). Agree, it is unlikely that you will have time to start and finish overtaking within a given intersection, even, say, a cyclist or a horse with a cart. And on the rest of the road it is clear: a solid line - prohibits overtaking!What if, at the same time, the markings are in the form of a solid one, and immediately before the intersection of the carriageways - dotted. Q: Is overtaking allowed in this situation?
Good afternoon
One of the signs 2.3.1-2.3.7 is installed on the track, judging by the article, overtaking is allowed on this section. What if, at the same time, the markings are in the form of a solid one, and immediately before the intersection of the carriageways - dotted.
In fact this situation the sign contradicts the markings (the sign allows overtaking at an unregulated crossroads, while the markings are solid)
Q: Is overtaking allowed in this situation?
According to traffic rules, the sign has priority - you can!
In practice, "oncoming traffic" is impossible (((5 rubles or deprivation.
We have already discussed on this forum, but we have not come to a consensus. It seems that according to the law it is possible, but the courts take the side of the traffic police (((
serve, do not write nonsense! By what law is the "priority sign" allowed overtaking? Those. Do you think he also allows you to travel with more speed, turn where it is forbidden, stand where it is forbidden, etc. and so on.))
traffic rules of the Russian Federation. 2. Signs of priority.
Priority signs scheduling intersections, crossings of carriageways or narrow sections of the road.
2.3.1. "Intersection with secondary road."
2.3.2 - 2.3.7. "Secondary road junction".
These signs warn that there is an unequal intersection ahead, at which you have an advantage. More they Nothing do not allow and do not forbid! You are still required to drive within the allocated lanes and follow all signs and markings.
P.S. I don’t know what you were arguing about before, but a sign (including a temporary one) will take precedence over markup if one action(turn, stop, etc.) they claim otherwise(should/prohibited).
Maxim-107
Hello!
An interesting situation happened to me:
I move along the highway and make an exit into the oncoming traffic lane, after passing the intersection while overtaking a passing freight vehicle. Made an exit to the oncoming traffic lane in the coverage area of the marking 1.6 (Appendix 2 to the SDA), completed the maneuver in the coverage area road markings 1.5 (Appendix 2 to the SDA) and at the same time in the area of sign 3.20 (Appendix 2 to the SDA) “Overtaking is prohibited”, established from right side in the direction of travel, at a distance of about 50-60 meters from the beginning of the marking zone 1.6. I did not know about the installation or relocation of the sign on this section of the road. Set sign did not see due to overtaking a freight vehicle.
As it turned out, the sign was moved road services 7-10 days before the story happened.
At the same time, the traffic police inspector drew up a diagram that confirms the exit to the oncoming lane to the sign 3.20 and attached video materials on which the very moment of overtaking in the oncoming lane (without the moment of exit) and the position of vehicles and the sign 3.20 are visible.
What are the chances of not losing the right to drive a vehicle? And is there any chance of getting an acquittal in court?
Maxim-107, hello! Judging by your description, you did not violate the requirements of road markings. Sign 3.20 remains, the effect of which begins from the place of its installation. I copy the footnote to the prohibition signs according to traffic rules: The zone of action of signs 3.16, 3.20, 3.22, 3.24, 3.26 - 3.30 extends from the place where the sign was installed to the nearest intersection behind it, and in settlements in the absence of an intersection - to the end of the settlement. Now let's figure out what overtaking is, again a quote from clause 1.2 of the SDA: "Overtaking" - advance of one or more vehicles associated with the exit to the lane (side of the carriageway) intended for oncoming traffic, and subsequent return to the previously occupied lane (side of the carriageway). Judging by the definition, overtaking is a change to an oncoming lane, an advance, a change of direction (return) to a previously occupied lane.
attached video materials on which the very moment of overtaking in the oncoming lane is visible (without the moment of departure)If you explain this to the judge, you will not escape punishment. In fact, the presence of the vehicle in the oncoming lane was recorded (only half of overtaking).
the traffic police inspector drew up a diagram that confirms the exit to the oncoming lane to the sign 3.20It is this scheme that will achieve acquittal in court. Once the exit to the oncoming lane is up to the sign 3.20 (it has not yet acted there), there is no violation. But to complete the overtaking (just what is on the video), the sign 3.20 does not prohibit.
Hello! Tell me how to be! I started overtaking a truck on a dotted lane, while I was overtaking a continuous lane passed (I still didn’t understand where it came from, there were no intersections, I was driving along the highway), but I finished overtaking on a dotted lane, the traffic police was driving behind I shot it on the phone, the protocol also indicated that it was filmed on iPhone 6 phone (although special equipment and cameras are installed in the car, apparently they were turned off). On the video, when overtaking, my registration plates are not visible, it is visible only when the traffic police drove up from behind and began to stop me. Lost rights? Did they say they would take it to court or would there be a fine?
Said-3, recently discussed similar case. (There really is one comrade tried from the Rules Security DD - make Rules of Absurdity). Read and draw the right conclusions.
The phone is quite proof of your violation, especially since the number is visible when they caught up.
If there was no overtaking warning sign or marking 1.6, you can explain to the court why you did not return to your lane on time, and you will behave adequately - this will only help you get a fine.
servit, you misinterpret concepts. "Not prohibited" is not the same as "allowed". Imagine Country N, where, for example, smoking is NOT prohibited by law. There is a subject A in the country where smoking is prohibited. Federal laws take precedence, however, the smoking ban does not contradict them in any way, because there is no law that says "it is allowed to smoke everywhere", there is simply no prohibition. Likewise with signs. If he does not prohibit something, it does not mean that he allows it.
Good afternoon Please tell me, I left the secondary road turning to the left (I missed the car on the left), looked to the right, started moving, and on the left in the oncoming lane, the car was moving towards me, it turns out that there was a collision with the front bumpers. Ahead of her is a pedestrian crossing unregulated in 10-15 meters, and then solid (the driver planned to drive through the pedestrian crossing and break the continuous one to make a left turn). I was considered guilty, because I have a departure from a secondary ... is it fair? I will be very grateful to you if you express your opinion. Thank you.
Irina-100, Hello!
following from your description, the collision occurred outside the intersection, at least 20 meters away, when you were already moving along the main one, and even passed the solid separating the flows and the p / transition; and he was driving on the opposite lane, not even reaching this solid one in front of the intersection. I don't see you personally breaking the Rules!
Or did you explain something wrong? Then there would be a link to the Yandex panorama indicating the place of the accident.
If you explained it that way when analyzing the accident, then you made you the culprit correctly. If you have already moved along the main road, why remember the intersection? It was your explanation of the circumstances that made you the culprit.leaving the secondary road turning left
You are right, this is not an intersection, a car standing in a traffic jam on the left missed me on the main street on laboratory avenue and I drove out turning left, from the secondary Chichurinskaya street, at that time a girl was driving on the left, overtaking in the oncoming lane, there was a traffic jam in her lane , the cars were standing, and we met with her bumpers. For all that, I simply describe the situation that in her direction of movement forward there is an unregulated pedestrian crossing in 10 meters, i.e. from the street I left, the crossing was on my right), before the crossing there was a dashed line and immediately after it was solid. According to the girl, she wanted to cross the pedestrian crossing, cross the continuous turn to the left.
It became a little clearer. The intersection of roads, secondary with the main one, is still called a crossroads, Irina. You, when leaving the secondary, were obliged to give in to everyone, clause 13.9 of the SDA, which you did not. Accordingly, an accident was created at (or immediately after) the intersection.
The rules do not prohibit, when moving along the main road, overtaking at an unregulated intersection, unless it is prohibited by signs or markings. Therefore, that girl did not violate anything, at least until your collision (and she simply did not see the presence of a solid one behind the intersection). Now, if the continuous one had begun even before the intersection, then there would most likely be a roundabout, which does not remove the blame from you at all.
Thank you very much!
My pleasure. A typical situation is when a polite driver lets pass, and at this time another one is driving in the next lane or some hurried person is overtaking, physically not having time to slow down. In the future, even if you are passed, drive past him slowly, making sure that no one is flying to the left (as well as to the right). Good luck!
Sergey-514
But what about these accidents in the city and collisions with pedestrians by drivers who fly with bulging eyes and do not think what or who is on their right. I am in favor of banning overtaking and overtaking on the right before. Examples show that this is a dangerous maneuver. And especially in bad hands .
No, sorry, this is nonsense. For traffic rules do not prohibit driving in the left lane in the city, say, with not the highest speed within the allowed limit.
is it possible to overtake a vehicle in this case: if the driver did not notice a road sign prohibiting overtaking and he was guided in winter time on road markings allowing overtaking of a vehicle, and if at the same time there was a road sign prohibiting overtaking of a vehicle at the same place, traffic cops say that in winter you need to focus only on road signs??? and why at the same time in one place there is a road sign prohibiting overtaking and a marking allowing overtaking of a vehicle, opposite to each other, what to do in this case ???? pay a fine if the protocol was drawn up and the receipt did not come for the fine ???
Irina, cases under part 4 of article 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses are considered by judges. Therefore, a protocol was drawn up. If a fine is imposed at the court, you will be able to pay it after receiving a copy of the decision. If the deprivation of rights is imposed on the court, then you will not have to pay anything.
The fact that the driver did not notice the road sign does not relieve him of responsibility.
With the combination of road signs and markings you have indicated, only slow-moving vehicles, horse-drawn carts, bicycles, mopeds and two-wheeled motorcycles without a sidecar can be overtaken. .
Good luck on the roads!
Good afternoon. Tell me, please, are there any penalties (what) for overtaking a vehicle, if there is a sign " Repair work", but the bar is not continuous.
Andrey-373
I understand that I will not be able to overtake if the car that goes first in front of me starts doing it? But what if I went to overtake according to the rules and started to outperform 3 or more cars and ran into an overtaking with a less powerful engine? What then? Thanks for your explanations!
I won't be able to overtake if the first car in front of me starts to overtake?
You can not:
a vehicle ahead in the same lane has signaled a left turn;
But what if I went to overtake according to the rules and started to outperform 3 or more cars and ran into an overtaking with a less powerful engine? What then? Thanks for your explanations!
"Overtake" has already overtaken. You were not allowed to start overtaking:
11.2. The driver is prohibited from overtaking if:
the vehicle moving ahead overtakes or avoids an obstacle;
That is, advance of one or several vehicles associated with the exit to the lane (side of the carriageway) intended for oncoming traffic, and subsequent return to the previously occupied lane (side of the carriageway) - can only ONE car.
Marina, Do you mean sign 1.25 "Road works"?
If yes, then the sign itself does not prohibit overtaking. If there are no other conditions prohibiting overtaking, then this maneuver can be performed.
Good luck on the roads!
What, I can’t complete overtaking through a solid marking line now?
Alexander-642
Maxim, and if, when overtaking, you see that 1 more car behind you started overtaking on an intermittent, when overtaking the 2nd vehicle, it was noticed that the intermittent ends, it is already pointless to press the brake to refuse the maneuver. The car that was behind turned out to be Traffic police, at the request of which I had to stop. Overtaking was carried out at night, so nothing was visible except for the headlights. They wrote out a protocol, there is video filming. How to correctly explain the situation in court? the road is not so far visible in order to have time to overtake before the end of the intermittent one. You also can’t go back because there was a car behind ..... In this case, is it possible to avoid a fine? because there can be no talk of deprivation .... signs we are not installed above the lane, for their better view along the highway in the villages.
Alexander-642, You should not care if there is another car behind you or not, even if it is a traffic police crew. You saw that you cannot complete the overtaking without violating the traffic rules, you need to slow down and change lanes to the right before the solid line begins to your right. Imagine that a sign 3.1 with a sign 8.14 appeared in front of you on your lane. What are you going to do? Slow down and change lanes, passing the car on the right. The same goes for overtaking. Actually, there is a clause in the traffic rules
10.1. The driver must drive the vehicle at a speed not exceeding the established limit, taking into account the traffic intensity, the characteristics and condition of the vehicle and cargo, road and meteorological conditions, in particular visibility in the direction of travel. The speed must allow the driver to constant control behind the movement of the vehicle to comply with the requirements of the Rules.
If there is a danger to traffic that the driver is able to detect, he must take possible measures to slow down until the vehicle comes to a halt.
If during overtaking you cannot control the entire overtaking path, do not overtake, you will be safer.
As for punishment, the court will choose the measure of punishment, since under part 4 of clause 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, it can either fine you or deprive you of your rights. If you have video recording, you have very little chance of avoiding punishment. It is necessary to study the record itself, as far as it allows you to identify your car and the fact of being in an oncoming lane when marking 1.1 appears. But keep in mind, the more you deny, the higher the chances of deprivation of rights instead of a fine.
It turns out now at intersections with markings, overtaking is prohibited on any road. Is there any way to warn about this in advance? The city just has short transitions from strokes to long markings.
Olga, Hello.
From the point of view of traffic rules, you are not required to slow down.
However, your husband is considering the situation from a security point of view. And in this scenario, it’s better to slow down a little and let the hurried person pass than to get into an accident and suffer. Naturally, it is not necessary to brake at every overtaking. However, if a truck is overtaking you, then it makes sense to slow down.
Good luck on the roads!
Overtaking a car is one of the most complex maneuvers that requires a lot of concentration, as well as an analytical assessment of how own forces, and the behavior of other participants traffic. Overtaking is the most common cause of accidents. More on this later in the article.
Overtaking is the advance of one or several moving cars at once, which is associated with the departure from the used lane. In this situation, the key word is "moving". If the vehicle in front is stationary, this maneuver is called a detour.
Before overtaking, the motorist must make sure that:
overtaking is allowed when
Overtaking is justified only when the intensity of traffic, the capabilities of the car and road conditions make it possible for the overtaking driver after this maneuver to continue moving for more high revs, and the cars ahead at a lower speed interfere with this.
Overtaking is constantly observed on the roads, which are made unnecessarily in order to assert the superiority of one's car. As a rule, they are performed in violation of traffic rules and are not able to provide a significant advantage.
You can start overtaking only under conditions of good visibility of the roadway throughout the entire section of the proposed maneuver.
overtaking is prohibited when
- If the driver of the car in front turned on the left turn signal.
- Behind a car that has already started to overtake.
- If cars are constantly moving in the opposite lane.
- If there is poor visibility on the road.
- At intersections, near railroad crossings.
- If an oncoming vehicle is driving with high speed and there is a possibility of a collision.
- On difficult sections of the road - tunnels, crossings through reservoirs, poorly visible turns, steep sections of the route.
overtaking through a continuous
Overtaking through a continuous lane is a potentially dangerous maneuver, for which either a fine or even deprivation of rights is provided. However, if the road is rather narrow, and there are no markings and road signs that overtaking is prohibited, there will be no punishment for this.
In addition, if a car or other obstacle blocks your path, according to the rules, you must go around it on the left, first giving way to other cars. There is no penalty for this. However, if the obstacle could be bypassed from the other side, but you did not use this opportunity because it was not so fast, you will be forced to pay a fine.
double overtaking
In fact, double overtaking is overtaking a car that is already making a detour or overtaking. However, there is no specific definition of this maneuver in the SDA. At the same time, there is a rule that prohibits overtaking the car in front, which itself overtakes.
Quite often, troubles arise with inspectors when a driver overtakes with a “train”, that is, overtakes several cars moving in front that do not make the appropriate maneuver. In order to avoid problems, it is advisable not to perform such actions.
overtaking at an intersection
To begin with, it is worth noting that intersections are both regulated and unregulated. On last road is primary and secondary. Wherein, the main road able to change direction. Remember that the priority signs on regulated intersections do not work.
Overtaking is prohibited when driving at a regulated intersection or when driving on secondary road unregulated intersection. In addition, it is also forbidden to overtake another car when driving through an intersection of equivalent roads.
No overtaking sign
This sign indicates that in a certain area of operation it is forbidden to overtake any transport, except for slow-moving vehicles, horse-drawn carts, mopeds, bicycles and two-wheeled motorcycles. The zone of action of the sign extends from the place of its installation to the nearest intersection, and in the absence of the latter - to the end of the settlement.
If the sign has a yellow background, then given sign is temporary. If stationary and temporary road signs contradict each other, the driver must be guided by temporary signs.
Overtaking at a pedestrian crossing
Overtake a car pedestrian crossing is strictly prohibited, even if there is no pedestrian nearby. For this violation, administrative penalty or withdrawal from the driver of the rights up to six months.
Completion of overtaking
When overtaking, you must complete it as soon as possible. Therefore, press harder on the gas in order to increase the speed between your car and the one being overtaken. When you see an overtaking car in your rearview mirror, you should turn on the right turn signal and calmly return to your lane.
It often happens when a driver starts overtaking on a broken line, and ends up on a solid line, which is regarded by inspectors as driving onto a continuous line and is prohibited by traffic rules. That is why, when overtaking, one should objectively evaluate the road conditions and the capabilities of the car.
Overtaking ticket
At the moment, the fine for overtaking in violation of traffic rules is about 5,000 rubles. In addition, for such a violation, deprivation of the right to drive a car for a period of four to six months is also provided.
Overtaking is the most important topic in traffic rules. As a matter of fact, any topic needs to be learned, since everything that is in the rules will come in handy in the future. practical driving. Therefore, it is worth talking about how overtaking is carried out, where it is prohibited, as well as everything else that may relate to this topic.
Definition
I would like to start with terminology. So, overtaking is the advance of a vehicle (one or several at once), which is directly related to the exit into the oncoming lane. After the maneuver is completed, the driver returns.
There is also a second term. And this is an advance. Many often confuse it with overtaking. What is the meaning of this concept? Everything is as simple as possible here. Leading is a process in which the driver of a particular vehicle moves at a speed that is higher than that of other passing cars. If we put it in other words, then this is just a situation when a car “bypasses” its neighbor. In this case, the driver does not change lanes into the oncoming lane, so this maneuver is considered much safer. Therefore, the terms should not be confused. Overtaking is one thing, and advancing is another.
The first thing to learn
In the 11th chapter, everything related to overtaking is described in great detail. And the first thing that the traffic rules book teaches is that before proceeding with the maneuver, the driver without fail must make sure that the lane where he intends to go is free. He must calculate whether he has enough time, and how high the probability is that during the implementation of his actions, a car will not appear in the oncoming lane. It is very important. Many drivers do not comply with this rule, and the result is usually disastrous. It is because of this that most accidents and deaths due to road accidents happen. Because two cars that “walked” at high speeds and collided with their front bumpers are, as a rule, victims.
All this gives rise to a law that says: if an accident occurs under the circumstances described above, then the fault always lies with the person who initiated the overtaking. This is logical and understandable. After all, it was the driver who did not calculate everything in advance, and began the maneuver without thinking about the consequences and simply without waiting.
Golden Rule #2
Another point that you need to learn by heart when reading the topic “Overtaking”. Traffic rules say: the driver of the car that they intend to overtake must not increase in this moment speed. On the contrary, it is recommended to reduce it. Because otherwise, the time that a person will have to spend on making a maneuver increases. Accordingly, he will drive longer in the oncoming lane, and this is at least several tens of meters. It is not necessary to specify what this is fraught with.
Prohibitions
In addition to the above, there are many more nuances that also need to be considered. Overtaking is prohibited, for example, when the driver ahead overtakes someone else or tries to avoid an obstacle. Can't start yet this maneuver, if a car that was in the same lane gave a turn signal.
Also, a person, before starting to take actions to perform an action, must look into rear mirror. Because it is quite possible that the car behind him also decided to overtake. Traffic rules in such cases say that you need to wait, slow down (or at least not exceed) and only then, after checking everything again, do what you have planned.
And, of course, one more nuance. Overtaking is prohibited if the driver understands that after completing the maneuver he will not be able to return to his lane without interfering with other vehicles (including the overtaken one). Many motorists forget these simple provisions, which is why they get into accidents.
Speed Matters
The rules for overtaking also dictate certain provisions regarding how fast a driver needs to move, who intends to make a named maneuver. This nuance is also important.
You can not start an action if the speed at which the car is moving is not enough for this. Let's say the vehicle in front has a speedometer of 85 km/h. If a person who wants to overtake him accelerates only to 80 km / h, in no case should you take action. Even if, in terms of speed, he bypassed his neighbor in lanes for several kilometers, it’s also not worth the risk. So, for example, if he managed to accelerate to 90 km / h, then in this case, in order to complete a full overtaking, it will take 180 meters. And the oncoming lane should be free for 360 meters. Why exactly? Everything is simple. 180 meters are needed for a person engaged in maneuvering, and the same amount for an oncoming car. This is the only way to avoid a collision.
Overtaking rules say - if a person catches up with the car in front too slowly, then it is better to abandon the plan. Because, having completed the action, the driver will automatically interfere with the car that just overtook. And it is possible that he, too, will decide to overtake. In general, in this case, high speed- it needs to be learned.
Where is it not allowed to maneuver?
Overtaking is prohibited in many places. Firstly - on regulated and (if a person is moving on the wrong road, which is the main one).
Secondly, overtaking at a pedestrian crossing is also strictly prohibited. (and the distance that is 100 meters before them), bridges, overpasses, tunnels (and also under them), the end of the ascent, dangerous turns, areas where visibility is limited - in all these places this cannot be done.
Eat certain situations with an intersection at which you can overtake the vehicle in front. First, it must be unregulated. Secondly, there must be no additional signs in front of the intersection (with the exception of signs numbered from 2.3.1. to 2.3.7). This means that the maneuver can be made, unless the main road changes its direction at this particular intersection.
It is also worth noting that earlier the rules allowed overtaking at pedestrian crossings if it was empty. But now everything has changed, and from now on this action is prohibited even if this section of the road is empty.
dangerous places
It is worth talking in more detail about those sections of the road where performing a maneuver not only threatens with a fine, but also with life. So, bridges, overpasses, overpasses and tunnels are just as dangerous as the oncoming lane. Overtaking, respectively, there should not be any.
In general, some bridges are sometimes built in such a way that it is impossible to see them from afar. And many drivers, in a hurry, start overtaking and, as a result, complete it on a bridge where passage is difficult. By the way, there are usually appropriate pointers. The overtaking sign is numbered as 3.20. It is easy to recognize - it shows two cars, the left of which is highlighted in red. Everything is clear, the meaning does not need to be explained.
More about signs
But when a person sees the pointer 3.26, then you can relax and proceed, after checking everything in advance, to the maneuver. This sign looks like the same 3.20, only both cars are gray and crossed out with five lines. This means the lifting of the ban.
Dangerous turns do not need any signs at all - they can be seen anyway. However, according to the rules they are established - 1.14, 1.11.1, 1.11.2. Seeing these signs, you need not only to delay the maneuver, but also slow down (with the exception of a steep climb).
And, finally, if visibility is limited in some area (there is such a road, or there are some structures there, or maybe the terrain is specific), then overtaking is also prohibited. In such situations, it is better to drive as carefully as possible and be as careful as possible. And, as you can already see, not so many characters need to be memorized. There are only two - one prohibition pointer, and the second cancel pointer, and they occur sequentially. The second - after some distance after the first.
Code provisions
Finally, it is worth noting that there is no separate article or punishment for overtaking illiterately. But there is the 12th chapter of the Code of Administrative Violations. There, in the fourth part, it says that driving into the oncoming lane or into tram rails(of course, also in the opposite direction) is punishable by a fine. Its size is five thousand rubles. The penalty for overtaking, as you can see, is not small. Also, the driver can be deprived of his rights. The term is usually 4-6 months. For many people to lose this way driver's license- this is the worst punishment, because many say that it is better to get a ticket for overtaking.
It should be noted that under this article, those drivers who overtake in wrong place. That is, where there were no permit signs.
Many people are interested in - is it possible to “exchange” the punishment? Instead of deprivation pay a fine? No, it all depends on the traffic police. Fine? So it will be so. Will the case go to court? Most likely, deprivation of rights threatens, but there, at the hearing, it will be possible to try to solve this problem and justify yourself.
Places to maneuver
Much has been said about where not to overtake. But what about where it can be? These places should also be listed. The so-called oncoming passing is allowed on two-lane highways. There, the center line looks like a broken marking.
You can also do this on the road where there are only three lanes. And they should also have broken lines. And, of course, roads with only two lanes, and the markings are combined, fall under the allowing category. That's where overtaking is allowed. But not all places have the appropriate signs, so it is desirable to remember all this. It won't be redundant.
What is not overtaking?
At the very beginning, it was said that many people are confused in the definitions of “overtaking” and “leading”. Now let's explain everything with examples.
Overtaking is not considered an advance that occurs within the same lane. Because if there is no intersection of horizontal markings, this was not an oncoming siding. Even overtaking can not be called an advance that does not go beyond the right half of the road. That is, the car also does not leave the oncoming lane.
And, finally, one more moment - the advance of the car, in which the person drove into the oncoming lane, but did not return to the side passing traffic. Curled, for example.
So, if you remember all of the above, then you can safely overtake. The main thing is to remember the rules.
First, let's remember what is OVERTAKING.
Rules. Section 1. “Overtaking” means overtaking one or more vehicles,related to the exit into the oncoming lane , and then return to the previously occupied lane.
That is, overtaking is always going into the oncoming lane, and going into the oncoming lane is allowed by the Rules
only in the following three cases.
Or it is a two-lane road with a broken center marking line.
Or it is a two-lane road with a combined center marking line.
Or it is a three-lane road with two longitudinal broken marking lines.
On such roads, as you already know, the middle lane can be used for overtaking by drivers from both directions.
Overtaking is undoubtedly the most dangerous of all maneuvers. Therefore, the Rules contain a number of strict restrictions that a driver who overtakes or only intends to overtake must follow.
General principles of safety when overtaking.
Rules. Section 11. Clause 11.1. Before starting overtaking, the driver must make sure that the lane he is going to enter is free at a distance sufficient for overtaking and that in the process of overtaking he will not endanger traffic and interfere with other road users.
In fact, this requirement of the Rules means that before making a decision on the possibility (or impossibility) of overtaking, the driver must do a lot of analytical work:
1. It is necessary to estimate the speed of the overtaken car.
2. It is necessary to estimate the speed of the oncoming vehicle and the distance to it.
3. It is necessary to assess the condition pavement(dry, wet, slippery).
4. It is necessary to remember the real dynamic possibilities own car(how responsive it is to the accelerator pedal).
It is allowed to start overtaking only if during the process of overtaking there is no problem.
not the slightest threat, neither for the oncoming one, nor for the one being overtaken!
The driver is prohibited from overtaking if the vehiclemoving ahead, overtakes or avoids an obstacle.
Moreover, taking care of safety, the Rules forbade overtaking from the moment the driver in front turned on the left direction indicators. And this is also stated in paragraph 11.2:
Rules. Section 11. Clause 11.2. The driver is prohibited from overtaking if the vehicle moving ahead along the same lane gave the signal to turn left.
What he is going to do is still unclear. Either he intends to start overtaking, or he goes around an obstacle, or he is preparing to turn left.
But in any case, from the moment he turned on the left turn indicators, it is dangerous for you to start overtaking, and therefore it is prohibited by the Rules.
But paragraph 11.2 does not end there either:
Rules. Section 11. Clause 11.2. The driver is prohibited from overtaking iffollowing him the vehicle has started overtaking.
Note! - In paragraph 11.2 of the Rules, so far it has been about a vehicle, moving ahead of you .
And according to the Rules, the one in front of you just needs to turn on the left “turn signals” to prohibit you from overtaking.
And here the one behind you , in accordance with paragraph 11.2 this alone is not enough. To prevent you from overtaking, the driver behind you, it is necessary not only to turn on the left turn signals, but also to start overtaking!
And this is logical! And that's why. The driver turns on the left turn indicators in the following cases:
A). Before you start overtaking;
b). Before proceeding to bypass the obstacle;
V). Before proceeding to turn left;
G). Before you start turning.
If he is ahead, then what difference does it make to you what he is going to do - in all cases you cannot start overtaking.
But if he is behind, then there is a difference. Now your task is to wait and see what he is going to do.
If he falls behind and turns left or turns around, you can overtake those in front.
But if he picks up speed and shifts to the left, then he is going to overtake you. In this case, the Rules oblige you to wait until he finishes his overtaking, and only after that you are allowed to start overtaking.
Commentary on the drawing. Get used to it slowly! – in the rearview mirror, the opposite is true. What is actually left is right in the mirror. And the picture in the mirror will be exactly the same as in our picture.
At the exam in the traffic police, one of you will get the following task:
|
1. Can. 2. Yes, if the driver truck A moves at a speed of less than 30 km / h. 3. It is forbidden. Task comment Sometimes I come across the fact that some of you do not understand which driver of which car we are talking about. And it's about the driver. passenger car sandwiched in the figure between two trucks. The authors of this problem believe that the driver of the truck driving behind not only turned on the left turn indicators, but also started to overtake (although this does not follow from the figure and the text of the question). But the correct answer is the third one. So you also assume that the truck driver has already started overtaking, otherwise you will make a mistake. |
Can the driver Another most important moment.
The safety of overtaking depends not only on the actions of the overtaking person, but also on the actions of the person being overtaken. The driver, seeing that he is being overtaken, may be “offended” (this, unfortunately, happens) and will also press the accelerator pedal, preventing the overtaking person from completing the overtaking. But this is really dangerous, and therefore unacceptable! The rules formulated the requirements for the driver of the overtaken car as follows:
Rules. Section 11. Clause 11.3. The driver of the vehicle being overtaken is prohibited from preventing overtaking by increasing the speed or by other actions.
Note! – The rules do not oblige the driver of the vehicle being overtaken to give way to the overtaking vehicle (for example, when the overtaking vehicle returns to its lane). On the contrary, it is the overtaker who must take care not to "cut off" the overtaken.
Another thing is that the person being overtaken should not speed up when he is being overtaken. Or, say, turn on the left "turn signals", or shift to the left, frightening the overtaking. This, by the way, is also in his interests - if an accident occurs, then it will not seem enough to everyone (both overtaking and overtaken).
And you will also be asked about this in the exam (though without a picture):
Well, now the most important thing is where overtaking is prohibited!
Overtaking, like any maneuver, can be prohibited either by markings, or signs, or by the Rules themselves.
In the middle of the carriageway, a solid center line marking is applied and, therefore, any exit into the oncoming traffic lane is prohibited.
Naturally, overtaking is also prohibited.
The center line may be broken, or it may not be at all, but it is set sign 3.20"Overtaking prohibited."
That is, the requirements of the sign and markup contradict each other. And in such cases, as you already know, drivers are required to comply with the requirements of the sign.
It should only be remembered that in the area of \u200b\u200baction sign 3.20"No Overtaking" allowed to overtake horse-drawn carts, mopeds, two-wheeled motorcycles, as well as any slow-moving vehicles.
What's happened two-wheeled motorcycle or horse-drawn cart, understandable to everyone. What is a slow moving vehicle? A low-speed vehicle, according to the Rules, is a vehicle marked with an appropriate identification mark.
There is no identification mark on this vehicle and, therefore, no matter how fast it “crawls”, overtaking is prohibited!
And now another thing - on the back side of the identification mark "Slow vehicle".
And, therefore, no matter how fast it “flies”, it can be overtaken in the zone of action of the sign 3.20 “Overtaking is prohibited”.
In addition, the Rules contain a list of places where overtaking is prohibited, regardless of the center line.
1. Rules. Section 11. Clause 11.4. Overtaking is prohibited at pedestrian crossings.
If you have not forgotten, U-turns and movement are strictly prohibited at pedestrian crossings. in reverse.
Likewise, overtaking is prohibited at a pedestrian crossing. Moreover, it is also strictly prohibited, regardless of whether there are pedestrians there or not.
And this is correct for elementary security reasons - since there is a vehicle in front of you, it necessarily, at least partially, closes the visibility of the pedestrian crossing.
It is quite logical that the Rules categorically forbade overtaking at a pedestrian crossing.
Well, and if there is at least one pedestrian, then what kind of overtaking can we talk about.
Now both drivers are required to give way to a pedestrian.
2. Rules. Section 11. Clause 11.4. Overtaking is prohibited on bridges, viaducts, overpasses and under them, as well as in tunnels.
And again I remind you - in all the places listed, U-turns and reversing are prohibited. Well, overtaking on bridges and in tunnels was also banned by the Rules, and they were banned categorically, without any reservations.
3. Rules. Section 11. Clause 11.4. Overtaking is prohibited at the end of the climb, on dangerous turns and on other sections with limited visibility.
I draw your attention to the fact that overtaking is prohibited not at all on the rises, but at the end of the rise! That is, where overtaking is really dangerous, since the visibility of the oncoming lane at the end of the ascent is very limited.
For the same reason, the Rules prohibit overtaking on other sections of roads with limited visibility. At the same time, drivers must independently assess what kind of road section it is, and what kind of visibility is there - limited or not.
Starting to overtake at the end of the climb, the driver of the red car grossly violates the Rules, risking his life (and not only his own).
This is not the end of the climb and the road is clearly visible from a safe distance. But this is true if you move in your (right) lane.
And if you start overtaking on this section, then visibility will immediately become limited. More precisely, there will be no visibility.
Even in an open area, if the road turns right, the vehicle being overtaken is an opaque screen for the overtaking driver! And in such conditions, it is deadly dangerous to start overtaking and therefore it is prohibited by the Rules.
In the traffic police collection on this topic, there are two tasks.
You deal with one of them easily - at the end of the ascent, overtaking is prohibited and, therefore, the correct answer is the third one.
|
But here you are, no, no, yes, you are mistaken. Yes, this is the end of the climb, but pay attention to the markings! in your direction two lanes, and changing lanes to left lane, you are not overtaking. And by the way, in the text of the question it says: "... to EARLY the truck." And the rule is not prohibited by the rules. It is not forbidden anywhere, including at the end of the ascent.
1. Allowed. 2. It is allowed only when the visibility of the road is more than 100 m. 3. Forbidden. |
Are you allowed to move to the middle lane at the end of the climb to get ahead of the truck?4. Rules. Section 11. Clause 11.4. Overtaking is prohibited at railway crossings and closer than 100 meters in front of them.
Rules quite rightly want to discipline traffic flow, approaching railway crossing. Already 100 meters before the crossing, drivers must stop all overtaking and then must move strictly along their own half of the roadway.
And this order must be observed until the crossing is completed! After the crossing, a regular section of the road begins, which does not contain any special restrictions for overtaking.
Unfortunately, the Rules did not offer any sign informing drivers that there were 100 meters left before the crossing. In theory, in this case, the road markings should help out the drivers - 100 meters before the crossing, the center line must be solid.
But markup is a tricky business. It simply may not exist. And how then would you order to determine these 100 meters?
In this case, drivers are required to determine these 100 m, which is called "by eye".
But if installed signs "Approaching the railway crossing"(and they should always be), then the drivers have a very clear guideline. The second sign along the way (with two red slanted stripes) always stands at a distance of at least 100 meters before the crossing.
So, if you finish all kinds of overtaking before this sign, you will definitely not be mistaken in fulfilling the requirements of the Rules.
And about this at the exam in the traffic police you will definitely be asked:
5. Rules. Section 11. Clause 11.4. Overtaking is prohibited at regulated intersections, as well as at unregulated intersections when driving on a road that is not the main one.
Overtaking at an intersection is a separate topic, and it requires a separate discussion.
First, it must be remembered that intersections can be regulated and unregulated.
In turn, unregulated intersections can be intersections of equivalent roads and intersections of unequal roads.
At the same time, any intersection is a danger concentrator, and the Rules quite naturally forbade overtaking at intersections. An exception is made only for the case when the driver crosses the intersection on the main road.
At intersections, the longitudinal lines of the road markings break, and, it would seem, at the intersection itself, nothing prevents you from driving to the side of the road intended for oncoming traffic.
But if the driver is moving along a multi-lane road, then driving into the “oncoming lane” for the purpose of overtaking is prohibited at all - both before the intersection, and at the intersection, and after the intersection.
And in this case, it doesn’t matter at all what kind of intersection it is (regulated, unregulated, main road, non-main road) - on multi-lane roads entering the lane of oncoming traffic for the purpose of overtaking or detour is prohibited throughout its entire length!
If the road is two-lane, then driving to the oncoming lane for the purpose of overtaking or detour is not prohibited both before the intersection and after the intersection.
But what about at the crossroads? Here is the question.
The rules answered this question as follows:
If it's a regulated intersection, then it doesn't matter how many lanes you have on your road.
At any regulated intersections, overtaking is prohibited by the Rules!
And this is logical - the intersection is made regulated only if there is heavy traffic here, which means that there is no time for overtaking at such an intersection.
If it's an unregulated intersection equivalent roads, then you need to give way to those approaching from the right. And if the driver goes to overtake, he does not see anything on the right!
It is quite logical that the Rules forbade overtaking at the intersections of equivalent roads.
And even more so if your road secondary!
Now you need to give way to those on the right and those on the left.
Then what kind of overtaking at the crossroads can we talk about!
And only if your way home , and center line intermittent , and the opposite lane free , you can overtake at the crossroads, the Rules do not mind.
Finishing the conversation about intersections, I want to save you from possible troubles.
The fact is that, as a rule, the axial DASH line before the intersection becomes SOLID. And if you have already decided to overtake at such an intersection, then you must complete it along the trajectory shown in the figure.
If you hook on a solid one (it doesn’t matter, at the beginning or at the end of overtaking), this qualifies as driving into the oncoming lane in violation of the Rules!
Well, and accordingly 5000 rubles or deprivation of rights for a period of 4 to 6 months.
But this is in life, and they will not talk about it with you at the exam.
In the exam about overtaking at intersections, you will be offered the following tasks:
|
1. Allowed. 2. Allowed if overtaking is completed before the intersection. 3. Forbidden. |
Are you allowed to overtake?
