Sometimes the traffic police inspector may claim that the driver violated the rules of overtaking. Quite often, this situation occurs when a car is moving at intersections. At the same time, traffic police officers often use the fact that the driver does not know exactly what they call overtaking. Let's understand what is meant by this concept.
Overtaking is the advance of one or more cars, which is associated with the exit to the other side of the carriageway (lane) that is used for oncoming traffic. After overtaking, the car returns to the other side of the carriageway (lane) that it previously occupied.
If the driver drives on the left lane and overtakes vehicles that are moving on the right lane of the road, then this is not overtaking, since the lane does not change. Such a maneuver is considered simply an advance. Thus, none of your actions in this situation can be called overtaking, even if you perform a similar maneuver at an intersection.
Overtaking any vehicle except for the tram, according to the rules, it can be carried out exclusively on the left side. According to the rules traffic Before the driver begins to overtake, he must make sure of the following:
The exit lane must be free for a distance that is sufficient for overtaking;
In the course of overtaking, he will not create obstacles or danger to the movement of other road users;
At the same time, overtaking is prohibited in the following cases:
A vehicle in front of you is overtaking or avoiding an obstacle;
A vehicle ahead in the same lane has reported that it is making a left turn;
The vehicle following you starts overtaking;
After overtaking is completed, you will not be able to return to the lane that you occupied earlier without creating obstacles and danger to the movement of the vehicle being overtaken;
The driver of the vehicle being overtaken must not interfere with overtaking by increasing the speed or by other actions.
If overtaking is outside of a built-up area, or the driver wants to overtake a slow-moving vehicle that is carrying bulky cargo, or a vehicle whose speed is not more than 30 km / h, then the driver needs to move to the right or even stop in order to let the vehicles that follow him pass.
It is necessary to get ahead of vehicles when crossing pedestrian crossings in accordance with paragraph 14.2 of the Rules of the Road (if a vehicle has stopped or slowed down before an unregulated pedestrian crossing, then drivers of other vehicles moving in adjacent lanes can continue to move only after making sure that before the specified the vehicle does not have pedestrians).
If it is difficult to make an oncoming pass, then the driver on whose side the obstacle is located gives way. If there is an obstacle on the slopes, which were marked with signs 1.13 and 1.14, then the driver whose vehicle is moving downhill must give way.
Where is overtaking prohibited?
Overtaking prohibited:
At regulated intersections and unregulated intersections when driving on a road that is not the main one;
At pedestrian crossings, if there are pedestrians on them;
On railway crossings, as well as in front of them at a distance of 100 meters or less;
On bridges, overpasses, overpasses, in tunnels;
On dangerous curves, at the end of slopes and in other areas where visibility is limited.
What rules govern driving on the broken dividing line on the road?
In accordance with paragraph 9.7 of the SDA, if the roadway is divided into lanes by marking lines, the movement of vehicles must be carried out strictly along the marked lanes. It is allowed to run into broken marking lines only when changing lanes.
Violation falls under part 1 of article 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and is punishable by an administrative fine of 300 rubles or a warning.
On proof of traffic violations
Quite often, a situation arises on the road when a traffic police inspector argues with the driver about whether or not traffic violation. What to do in this case? Can you protect your rights? Should I complain?
Administrative law, like criminal law, provides for the presumption of innocence. That is, initially the driver is considered innocent, unless proven otherwise. Thus, the driver does not have to prove his innocence. His guilt must be proven by a law enforcement officer, and not vice versa.
Presumption of innocence (Article 1.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation)
1. A person shall be subject to administrative liability only for those administrative offenses in respect of which his guilt has been established.
2. A person in respect of whom proceedings are being conducted on a case of an administrative offense shall be considered innocent until his guilt is proved in the manner prescribed by this Code and established by a decision of a judge, body that has entered into force. official who considered the case.
3. A person brought to administrative responsibility is not obliged to prove his innocence, except for the cases provided for by the note to this article.
4. Irremovable doubts about the guilt of a person brought to administrative responsibility shall be interpreted in favor of this person.
The provisions of Part 3 of this Article shall not apply to administrative offenses provided for in Chapter 12 of this Code, if they are recorded by employees working in automatic mode special technical means that have the functions of photo and filming, video recording.
So, if the traffic police officer claims that you have violated the rules, and you do not agree with this, then the law enforcement representative must prove the driver's guilt. Thus, you do not prove your innocence, and the traffic police officer must provide evidence of your guilt.
When overtaking with a departure into the oncoming traffic, in order to avoid collisions with an oncoming car, it is necessary to take into account and follow all the recommendations and requirements that are prescribed in.

This also applies to moving in your own lane. In addition, the driver is obliged to pay attention to road signs, signs (plates) and traffic lights when he intends to overtake the vehicle in front.
If it is wrong to overtake, then this is fraught with serious consequences in the form of serious ones.
What law states
Russian automotive legislation is presented in the form of traffic rules - the Rules of the Road, which describes all the rules that participants must follow. Chapter 11 of the Rules is responsible for the order in which such a maneuver as overtaking should be performed.
If the driver violates them, then the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation comes into effect - the Code of Administrative Law, which regulates liability for administrative offenses. In this case, he is responsible for the details of the penalties.
The law provides a delimiting explanation of what is considered "overtaking" and what is not attributed to such an action.
- this is a maneuver that the driver begins to perform within his own lane, then the car enters the oncoming lane for a short time with the intersection of the dividing line, and then returns to the section of its flow in the direction of travel, only rounding the car ahead.
Leading is the same maneuver as overtaking, but it is carried out exclusively within the lane of its own flow.
In order to overtake the car without interference into the oncoming lane, the motorist needs to pay attention to the following factors regarding the situation on the road:
- Estimate the width of the road.
- Visually determine the distance from your car to the one being overtaken.
- See what is the distance between your car and the nearest one driving on oncoming lane.
- Look at the speed of the car being overtaken.
- Consider the speed of oncoming vehicles.
- Record the speed at which you are approaching the overtaken vehicle.
- Clearly know the features of your car - how fast it “knows how” to accelerate, whether it will develop enough speed to overtake another car.
In addition, the driver must:
- Know and follow road signs.
- Pay attention to traffic lights and follow their meanings.
- Assess whether the trajectories of the overtaken car and the overtaking one do not intersect.
- Take a closer look at the design of the road, remember the rules where exactly it is strictly forbidden to accelerate in order to overtake.
- Note the weather and visibility. With limited visibility and slippery road best to refrain from doing this action.
In addition to traffic lights, there may be a police traffic controller at regulated intersections. Each driver must be able to correctly decipher his signal movements in order to follow the instructions.
Where prohibited
Clause 11 of the Rules "Overtaking, advancing, oncoming passing", starting from part 11.1-11.2 (and further), reflects all the details of prohibited areas and sections of roads where overtaking is by no means allowed.
These include the following situations on the road or areas of road infrastructure:
| Situation | Road section |
| 1. A busy lane of oncoming traffic, or its own flow. 2. High probability of interfering with other participants. 3. When a moving car ahead signaled with lights that it was about to turn left. 4. The front vehicle makes a detour of the obstacle or also overtakes. 5. The car following the overtaken car began to make a maneuver. |
controlled intersection; unregulated intersection when driving on a minor highway; crosswalk; closer than 100 meters from the railway crossing; bridges, overpasses, overpasses, as well as under them, tunnels, some embankments (route on the river dam), etc.; steep ascents - closer than 300-600 m (depending on the power of the transport and the degree of inclination) from the end of the ascent; dangerous turns; other areas where a severe restriction of visibility for drivers is obvious. |
Overtaking Rules
Before looking at the details different cases when it is normally permissible to overtake other vehicles, it should be noted general rules how exactly such a maneuver is done correctly.
Overtaking rules:
- Make sure that your car will not interfere with other road users.
- Assess the distance from the overtaken car to yours, the sufficiency of space to return to your formation, from your car to the oncoming one, if any.
- Make sure that and rear cars are not going to overtake at the same moment as you.
- In the absence of obstacles or the likelihood of interference, the following should be done - change the transmission stage by one decrease, switch the main optics from high beam to near mode, turn on rotary signal lights before leaving your lane.
- After leaving the system, the lights are turned off, the front car is overtaken into the oncoming lane where there is no continuous marking line.
- The final touch of this action is to stand in your traffic flow where there is free space, subject to the moving objects of other vehicles.
- But you should not do this without the right turn signal on. Other participants need to know that you want to return to your flow of traffic, and not make a U-turn or turn left.
- You should also start returning to your formation when the overtaken car appears in your rearview mirror.
The speed when overtaking should be exceeded only within the limits of the norm, which is “dictated” by road signs, or by the assumptions of the Rules regarding a specific section of the road.
If the lights are not turned off immediately after overtaking begins, then other motorists may mistake your signals for an intention to make a left turn, turn around, or make another overtake next car driving ahead.
Turning lights should warn not only ahead next driver, but also the one riding behind if a car is seen there.
Moreover, this applies to both signals before overtaking, and other signals after overtaking, when returning to your traffic flow.
High beam headlights should be turned on after you have caught up with the overtaken car during the maneuver, and there are no oncoming cars.
At the crossroads on the main road
Most often, overtaking at intersections is done with signal lights on, warning that the driver intends to turn left to overtake.
This is due to the fact that in Russian Federation traffic on the streets is right-handed.
It is very important in this case not to interfere with others, and also to take into account the marking of solid lines that cannot be driven into, touched or crossed.
Therefore, advancing into the oncoming lane at the intersection should be done carefully and with the utmost care, guided by the signs and traffic lights. This applies to drivers driving on the main road.
With exit to the lane of oncoming traffic
When a motorist wants to overtake a car with a drive into the oncoming lane, then you need to carefully monitor immediately how close and at what speed the oncoming vehicles are driving.
If there is a difficulty with passing, then the Rules in part 11.7 of paragraph 11 state that the one on whose side the obstacle is created is obliged to give way.
Also, with regard to slopes on roads equipped with signs - “1.13” or “1.14”, the driver who moves towards the descent gives way in a situation of difficulty in passing.
One of the signs indicates that ahead of the driver is waiting steep descent, and another sign indicates a steep climb.
The procedure for overtaking with the exit to the lane of oncoming traffic of cars:
- When approaching the car in front, you should keep a distance of 30-50 meters from the side.
- The rear-view mirror should not reflect other cars to make sure that there are no others who want to overtake someone who is already overtaking.
- Assess the situation ahead. It is important to understand that you will not be in the no-overtaking zone during the maneuver or its completion.
- In addition, you should immediately determine the place where the car will call in its traffic flow after the action is completed.
- If there are no oncoming cars nearby, you must first turn on the signal turn signal, and only then, start moving to the side.
- We reduce the gear by one stage, then during acceleration we increase it by one.
- Optics switches from far to near.
- As soon as overtaking begins, the signal lights turn off.
- The car must first catch up with the one being overtaken.
- Departure to the oncoming lane is made.
- The driver then turns on the right turn signal.
- You should only start returning to your lane when the vehicle being overtaken is already reflected in the rearview mirror.
big and common mistake drivers is the factor when they get too close to the overtaken car, motivating this by the fact that they move out as quickly as possible, or stay in the oncoming lane for a short time.
On the one hand, this will seem justified, but on the other hand, violation of the distance will lead to a collision, if not with an oncoming car, then with the one that is being overtaken.
When the motorist has already assessed the situation, determined that there is no danger for the maneuver, no oncoming cars are expected, then there is no point in getting too close to the overtaken car.
It should also not be forgotten that the overtaken car can suddenly change its speed. For example, suddenly slow down because an obstacle has been found in front of her, which should be bypassed.
And for the overtaking driver, the visibility further ahead of the moving car is limited.
If you get very close to the overtaken car, then with its sudden braking and detour of an obstacle, a side collision may occur.
Without leaving the oncoming lane
If overtaking is performed within only one's own lane and the territory of the oncoming traffic flow is not affected at all, then such an action is called “leading”, and not overtaking.
This is possible if the bandwidth is sufficient to carry out this species maneuver. Or the road is four-sided, when each side is divided into two lanes.
In this case, the width of the road is sufficient to overtake slow-moving cars. The procedure here is the same as in the case of overtaking with a stop at the oncoming lane.
More than one vehicle
This method is called “overtaking by a train”, which is done by two vehicles at once.
But even a maneuver by two vehicles can also mean an action performed by one car, but it has to go around two or more cars. Not on all highways overtaking allowed locomotive.
For the prohibition, there are standard road signs or indicators in the form of white plates, since the Rules do not say anything about such a ban.
But on the other hand, the rules say that you can’t start overtaking if the vehicle in front is signaling with left turn signals about its intention to start the action first.
The locomotive maneuver is carried out as follows:
- First, the front car turns on the left turn, which wants to go left to get ahead.
- After it, you should turn on your lights only when the front car has already caught up with the slow-moving overtaken one.
- At the same time, it is extremely important that the signal lights of the overtaking driver are already turned off - then there will be no violation of part 11.2, clause 11 of the traffic rules.
- You should only get in line if you have free space and after completing your maneuver, the car in front.
Theoretically, and without interference, you can overtake an overtaking driver, but for this you need to make sure that there are no oncoming cars, and there is enough space on the road.
When it comes to overtaking a traffic jam, or several cars at once, it should be taken into account that then the driver will not just drive into the oncoming lane, but will move along it.
And this is considered a violation under paragraph 1 of Art. 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, and threatens with a monetary penalty - 1500 rubles.
In the city
Overtaking in the city may be hindered by natural causes:
- numerous traffic lights;
- frequent traffic jams;
- pedestrian crossings;
- tram line;
- controlled intersections;
- speed limit and other factors.
On average, the speed of cars in the city is no more than 20 or 30-40 km / h according to the on-board computer.
Road sections such as a pedestrian crossing or tram rails oncoming traffic are prohibited in order to overtake vehicles on them.
Most safe way to go around slowly moving vehicles is to take the lead within your own lane, and then if no obstacles are foreseen ahead in the form of a continuous lane, traffic lights, etc.
Without markup
If no markings are drawn on the roadway, this means that you can overtake whenever you want.
Most often, on those sections of the road where it is forbidden to do this, a road sign will be installed, under the marking - "3.20.1", "3.20.2".
The first is drawn on a white field and means that it is permanent, and the second is on a yellow field, which means it is temporary.
Depending on which vehicle is ahead, you should decide whether to overtake or not. If this is a large vehicle, then some checks should be made along the way to see if there are any obstacles ahead.
As soon as during overtaking, a danger, an obstacle, or another car was noticed ahead, you should immediately slow down. After that, it is advisable to return to the previous position, if the place there is not yet occupied by another car.
If the road is clear, then you can maneuver exactly according to the same principle as described above.
two cars
It happens that overtaking can be done by two cars at the same time. Such a situation is the case when the overtaken car decided to get ahead of another driver.
But for these purposes, it is extremely important that the width of the carriageway allows this maneuver to be carried out.
Otherwise, the consequences may be an emergency collision, and with a chain reaction, if other participants are nearby on the track.
This action should be performed in this order:
- First you need to switch to a lower gear - 1 step. For example, if you were moving onto 5th, you should switch to 4th before making a detour.
- Slightly pressing the gas pedal, the overtaking car is overtaken by the second overtaker.
- Just a few seconds you need to make a movement in parallel with the overtaken car.
- After that, rapidly rushing forward with the help of gas, we are ahead of him.
Switching from height to bottom of the gearbox functionality is necessary in order to optimize the acceleration dynamics as much as possible, which will be needed to get ahead of overtaking vehicles.
This means that it is important here to immediately assess the speed of the overtaking car so that the speed of the secondary overtaking driver is increased to reasonable limits (not dangerous and in accordance with road signs).
Such overtaking is recognized as the most dangerous because of the increase in speeds and the lack of space on the road for a safe pass.
Overtaking two cars is not prohibited by the Rules. But if there is little space in the ranks for the return of cars to the stream, and also when the overtaking primary vehicle has already turned on the left (or right at the end of the maneuver) warning lights, then it is better to refrain from them.
What is overtaking
This is about sharp rise speeds, when the reckless driver does not give enough time for the dynamics of acceleration of his car and immediately sharply increases the gas.
Roadside traffic police cameras can immediately record such maneuvers as a violation speed modes. But this is not even the main thing.
It is important that in case of a sharp advance or overtaking, the risk of skidding and collision with other road users increases.
Or accidents can happen with one participant - a collision with a pole, flying into a ditch when skidding, etc. Most often, such a maneuver is seen for persons who want to go around the convoy of cars as quickly as possible.
Rules for maneuvering trucks
For some sections of roads, a special sign is installed where it is forbidden to overtake slow-moving vehicles by trucks. Road sign Overtaking trucks is prohibited, has its own digital marking- "3.22".
Driver trucks must take into account:
- weight of cargo;
- dimensions of your car;
- its weight without equipment;
- the speed and ability to accelerate your car;
- the speed of slow-moving vehicles to be overtaken.
There may also be other factors that have their own specifics in relation to their category. motor vehicle. For example, the height of your car and the angle of view of the rear vision.
But the algorithm of actions remains for such drivers the same as in the case when overtaking is performed by a motorist in a passenger vehicle.
It is also forbidden by the rules for the driver who is being overtaken to start accelerating at the moment of the maneuver (part 11.3, clause 11 of the SDA).
Such an unjustified reaction serves not only as a driver's impoliteness, but also as a provocation for a major accident. After all, the equalization of speeds will force the overtaking motorist to stay longer in the oncoming lane.
The rules dictate the etiquette of behavior to the overtaken also in relation to the fact that he slightly stepped aside and took to the right (part 11.6, clause 11 of the SDA - in relation to low-speed vehicles outside the area of \u200b\u200bthe settlement).
And after being overtaken, slow down slightly to allow the driver to return to his own stream.
Based on statistics from the practice of motorists, the time spent on overtaking is usually no more than 6-10 seconds, depending on the length of the overtaken vehicle and its speed.
We must not forget that dark time days or bad weather significantly reduce the quality of such an action.
Therefore, in some situations, experts recommend better to refrain from overtaking if the risks of collision due to poor visibility are high.

According to statistics, up to 25% of drivers regularly overtake incorrectly. About 30% of all accidents happen when overtaking is violated. The cause of every 5 deaths on the road is an incorrect overtaking.
Often, while studying at automobile schools, they superficially touch upon teaching cadets the rules for overtaking other moving vehicles.
This is especially true for driving on tracks, where very often high speeds simply do not give much time to make decisions.
Not every driver knows how to correctly overtake another car and, making the wrong actions, is rapidly approaching the fatal line. Sooner or later, this will lead to tragic consequences.
According to the rules of the road, overtaking is considered a maneuver of a car in which it temporarily leaves its lane with a drive into the oncoming lane to overtake a vehicle moving in the same direction.
After completing the maneuver, the car must return to its lane. This term can only be used for roads with two lanes.
Otherwise, the maneuver will be treated as an advance. Many especially inexperienced drivers confuse both terms and do not always correctly orient themselves in them.
When is overtaking prohibited?
It must be remembered that a thoughtless and irresponsible maneuver on high speed often leads to tragic consequences.
Hundreds of lost lives are a vivid and sad example of this.
The following situations can be distinguished when overtaking is prohibited:
- The effect of the sign "overtaking is prohibited";
- The driver of the vehicle in front turned on the left turn signal;
- Short distance to oncoming traffic;
- Low travel speed;
- Your car has been overtaken;
- Insufficient visibility;
- On sharp turn limiting visibility.
At first glance, the maneuver for the driver is not difficult and does not require special skills. But the cruel figures of statistics and the number of deaths on the roads inexorably indicate the opposite.
Neglect of the elementary rules of the road, combined with incorrect actions when performing a maneuver, discourage the driver and make him forget about the sense of self-preservation.
neglected by many the following rules correct overtaking:
- Reduce the distance to the vehicle in front;
- Make sure that the oncoming lane is clear or the distance to the nearest car is sufficient to complete the maneuver;
- Make sure that it does not overtake a moving vehicle in front or behind;
- Turn on the turn signal in advance before making a maneuver;
- Increase the vehicle speed immediately before overtaking. It should be at least 10-20 km/h higher than the overtaken vehicle.
- Overtaking time should not take more than 5 seconds.
How not to overtake?
Many drivers, and especially those who have recently received a license, very often make risky overtaking, proving to everyone around them, as they believe, their courage and valiant prowess.
As a result, they, subsequently smearing snot and tears on their faces, convince the investigator that the death of innocent people as a result of an accident is not their fault, but a fatal combination of circumstances.
In order not to be in the place of these unfortunate drivers, you need to clearly remember the following mistakes, often made when overtaking:
- Overtaking several vehicles;
- Overtaking on the right side;
- Overtaking in conditions of insufficient visibility;
- Overtaking on turns;
- Overtaking on a faulty vehicle;
- Overtaking when towing another vehicle.
The systematic violation of the rules of overtaking for many drivers, unfortunately, becomes a terrible lesson for the rest of his life. Human sacrifices are not worth the minute won, and every driver who gets behind the wheel of a car should remember this.

Since you are approaching an unregulated intersection on the main road, as indicated by the sign “Intersection with a secondary road”, overtaking is allowed even if it is not completed before the intersection.
Can you overtake a tractor?
Overtaking is prohibited at railway crossings and closer than 100 m in front of them. Since the railway crossing is located outside the settlement, the signs "Railway crossing without a barrier" and "Approaching the railway crossing" are installed at a distance of 150-300 m before the crossing. Therefore, you can start overtaking the tractor in this situation if the overtaking is completed 100 m before the crossing.
You are approaching an unregulated junction of equivalent roads (sign of the intersection of equivalent roads). At unregulated intersections, overtaking is prohibited when driving on a road that is not the main one. Therefore, in this situation, overtaking horse-drawn cart you can only start if it is completed before the intersection.
Are you allowed to overtake three vehicles at once after passing a pedestrian crossing?
Is overtaking prohibited on bridges, viaducts, overpasses and under them?
The rules prohibit overtaking on and under road structures such as bridges, viaducts, overpasses, and in tunnels.

Drivers are approaching an unregulated intersection of equivalent roads. Overtaking is prohibited at unregulated intersections when driving on a road that is not the main one. Therefore, overtaking can be done only up to the intersection (along the trajectory A).
Is overtaking allowed at intersections on a two-lane road?
At unregulated intersections of unequal roads, overtaking into the oncoming traffic lane is allowed only when driving on the main road.
Are you allowed to overtake in this situation?
At unregulated intersections, overtaking is prohibited when driving on a road that is not the main one. Since you are approaching an intersection of unequal roads, moving along the main road (sign of the main road), you can overtake at this intersection even if you enter the oncoming traffic lane.
Are you allowed to start overtaking in a built-up area?
Overtaking is prohibited at railway crossings and closer than 100 m in front of them. Since the railroad crossing is in locality, then the sign of the railway crossing without a barrier is installed at a distance of 50-100 m before the crossing. Therefore, you are not allowed to start overtaking the tractor in this situation.
Where can you start overtaking?
Overtaking is prohibited at railway crossings and closer than 100 m in front of them, so you can start it immediately after the crossing.
What are the overtaking restrictions at and near level crossings?
Overtaking is prohibited at railway crossings and closer than 100 m in front of them.
Are you allowed to overtake?

Is overtaking allowed at signalized intersections?
Overtaking is prohibited only at the end of the ascent, as the visibility of oncoming vehicles is not provided.
Are you allowed to make such a maneuver?
Considering increased danger passage of artificial structures on the roads, traffic rules prohibit overtaking on bridges, overpasses, overpasses and under them, as well as in tunnels.
Are you allowed to overtake a truck at the end of the climb?
Overtaking is prohibited at the end of the climb. Since the width of the carriageway does not allow overtaking without entering the oncoming lane, it is prohibited to overtake a truck in this situation.
Can you start overtaking?
You are approaching an unregulated intersection secondary road(Give way sign). At unregulated intersections, overtaking is prohibited when driving on a road that is not the main one. Therefore, in this situation, overtaking a truck can only be started if it is completed before the intersection.
Article 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses
4. Departure in violation of the Rules of the road to the lane intended for oncoming traffic, or on tram tracks of the opposite direction, except for the cases provided for by part 3 of this article, - entails the imposition administrative fine at the rate of five thousand rubles or deprivation the right to drive vehicles for a period of four to six months.
5. Repeated commission administrative offense provided for by part 4 of this article - entails deprivation driving license for a period one year, and in case of fixing an administrative offense by special technical means operating in automatic mode, having the functions of photography and filming, video recording, or means photo- and filming, video recording - imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five thousand rubles.
Before the changes adopted in the SDA in 2010, there was no such thing as a lead for drivers. However, on this moment there is a major difference between overtaking and overtaking maneuvers. Ignorance of this distinction between concepts can have a detrimental effect both on the driver himself and his vehicle, and on other road users. Therefore, it is worth dwelling on this issue in more detail.
Overtaking or leading
Overtaking, according to the new rules - ahead of the vehicle with the exit to the lane of oncoming traffic, with a subsequent return to it.
Advance, according to the new rules, this is a ride in which a vehicle overtakes another vehicle without entering the oncoming lane.
rebuilding- exit from the occupied lane or occupied row while maintaining the original direction of movement.
Unlike overtaking, which has a large number of restrictions on execution, the lead can be performed at almost any time.
Vehicle overtaking is prohibited on road sections:
- pedestrian crossing;
- railway crossings;
- intersections;
- flyovers and tunnels;
- areas with reduced visibility, ends of the lift sections.
Questions from readers:
- "Leading on the right is prohibited or not?". According to new traffic rules overrun on the right is allowed.
- "On which side is it allowed to overtake a vehicle?" - Answer: According to the traffic rules: overtaking a trackless vehicle is allowed only on the left side;
- “Is overtaking on the right allowed or prohibited?” - Answer: According to the traffic rules and the definition of overtaking and advancing vehicles, when making the so-called overtaking, you actually overtake the vehicle, and advancing on the right is allowed. Special cases of this question:
- Overtaking on the right, like overtaking on the side of the road - prohibited by traffic rules.
- Overtaking on the right, as an obstruction to overtaking (example: whose vehicle No. 1 is overtaking in the oncoming lane, Vehicle No. 2 must complete overtaking, and Vehicle No. "do not interfere with the maneuver) - traffic rules are prohibited.
- Overtaking on the right, like changing lanes to the right lane, where it is a section of the road along which vehicles are moving in your direction and overtaking the car, is allowed.
On July 12, 2017, new rules for overtaking vehicles entered into force. When driving on a two-way road, it is forbidden to continue driving in the oncoming lane if the traffic lanes are separated by markings 1.1, 1.3 and 1.11 (the dashed line is located on the left), tram tracks, a dividing lane.
