Rules for overtaking on the track. Safe overtaking

21.06.2019

Transmission

Into the rules traffic changes are often made regarding permitted behavior while riding. Recently, there have been amendments regarding the rules for advancing and overtaking.

When studying at a driving school, cadets are faced with such a definition of overtaking as:

advance Vehicle using the exit to the oncoming traffic, and then, with the return back.

Overtaking features:

It is a kind of advance. But the latter, at the same time, does not always act as overtaking.
During overtaking, there is always a departure into the lane for the oncoming traffic.
After the end of the maneuver, the car must return to its lane.

It is worth noting that when the road is two or more lanes, the car, overtaking other vehicles, takes the lead.

Concept difference

To understand how these concepts differ, you need to know that lead is:

the movement of a vehicle that has a higher speed than passing vehicles;
this will be the case if the maneuver is performed within the same lane, that is, there is no crossing of the broken line;
also, the advance will be considered the case when the car drove into oncoming lane movement, but did not return to the previous one.

The difference between these values is fairly obvious.

That is, when overtaking, the motorist enters the lane along which the oncoming traffic flows, and in case of advance, all maneuvers occur within one part of the road.

Also, distinctive feature of these concepts, there will be the fact that passing cars can overtake both on the right and on the left. But, as a rule, such a ride will be prohibited. On the roads, a prohibition road sign is very often installed, which informs that overtaking or passing on the right is prohibited. As for the advance, there are no special restrictions for it.

When is overtaking prohibited?

In order for the movement on highways to be as safe as possible, you need to follow the rules and adhere to the permissible speed limits. But often, moving cars in front drive too slowly, then the driver has a desire to go to the next part of the road, get ahead of the slow motorist and move faster. But is it always possible to do this legally?

Cases when overtaking is prohibited:

When signs prohibiting this maneuver. This means that doing it will be extremely dangerous.
In the event that the vehicle in front turned on the light signal indicating a turn. IN this case, in order to avoid a collision, it is necessary to wait until the motorist completes his maneuver, and only then change lanes.
If the driver of the vehicle that is moving behind has started to overtake, it is necessary to let it pass, and only then, after making sure that the road is clear, start the maneuver.

Driving in the opposite lane, ahead of other vehicles, is prohibited on railway crossings, intersections, sharp turns in the road, on slopes, in tunnels.

In addition, there are other places where these actions are prohibited. There are special signs indicating the prohibition, and also, this is a road marking in the form of a double solid line.

These activities are also prohibited pedestrian crossings when people cross the road. The driver will violate traffic rules if he overtakes on the bridge, or the area under it, as well as in areas where there is insufficient visibility.

When the rules don't forbid being ahead?

It is not uncommon for drivers to break the rules and cross the double solid line. In this case, they face the imposition of penalties. In addition, the actions taken may lead to the creation emergency.

Therefore, motorists should know when this maneuver is allowed and how to perform it:

The time for the maneuver and the distance to the vehicle ahead in the oncoming lane are correctly calculated.
When the vehicle is as close as possible to the vehicle in front, the turn signal is turned on and advance is performed.
The manipulation will take a small amount of time, and the car will again be returned to its lane.
When the maneuver is completed, it is necessary to turn on the right turn signal, thereby warning other road users of your intention to return to the previous lane.

Overtaking on the right

When driving on roads with right-hand traffic, drivers should understand that it is only allowed to pass vehicles on the left side.

With regards to overtaking right traffic rules, prohibits such a maneuver. This is due to the fact that in this case, the movement will be made on the sidewalk or roadside. And this is a violation.

An exception is the case when the vehicle moving ahead has turned on the left turn signal, and is waiting for an opportunity to perform the action, under these circumstances, the motorist can legally make a detour on the right.

Penalties for violations

Sometimes city roads or highways are too crowded with vehicles that drivers go to various tricks to get ahead and continue moving faster.

But the violation of the rules, which turned out to be fixed, promises the motorist a fine.

If we are talking about driving on the side of the road, you will have to pay material compensation in the amount of 1,500 rubles.
If the detour was made in violation of the rules and exit to the lane of the opposite direction, where there are prohibitory signs or markings, then the driver may be imputed penalty for the payment of monetary compensation in the amount of 5000 rubles.
And for driving on tram tracks, the offender can be deprived of their rights, or they can also be fined up to 5,000 rubles.

We continue to analyze situations with traffic violations provided to us by the traffic police. Before writing this article, we have analyzed 15 situations.

In this part, we will analyze one of the most dangerous maneuvers “Overtaking”.

Definition:

"Overtaking"- ahead 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).

Rules for overtaking, advancing, oncoming passing:

11.1. Before 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.

11.2. The driver is prohibited from overtaking if:

the vehicle moving ahead overtakes or avoids an obstacle;

a vehicle ahead in the same lane has signaled a left turn;

the vehicle following it has started to overtake;

upon completion of overtaking, he will not be able to return to the previously occupied lane without endangering traffic and interfering with the vehicle being overtaken.

11.3. The driver of the vehicle being overtaken is prohibited from preventing overtaking by increasing the speed of movement or by other actions.

11.4. Overtaking prohibited:

on regulated intersections, as well as on unregulated intersections when driving on a road that is not the main one;

at pedestrian crossings if there are pedestrians on them;

at railway crossings and closer than 100 meters in front of them;

on bridges, overpasses, overpasses and under them, as well as in tunnels;

at the end of a climb, on dangerous curves and on other sections with limited visibility.

11.5. The advance of vehicles when passing pedestrian crossings is carried out taking into account the requirements of clause 14.2 of the Rules.

11.6. If, outside built-up areas, overtaking or advancing a slow-moving vehicle, a vehicle carrying bulky cargo, or a vehicle moving at a speed not exceeding 30 km / h, are difficult, the driver of such a vehicle must take as much to the right as possible, and if necessary, stop to let the vehicles following him pass.

11.7. If the oncoming traffic is difficult, the driver on whose side there is an obstacle must give way. If there is an obstacle on the slopes marked with signs 1.13 and 1.14, the driver of the vehicle moving downhill must give way.

Road signs:

3.20 “Overtaking prohibited”.

It is forbidden to overtake all vehicles, except for slow-moving vehicles, horse-drawn carts, mopeds and two-wheeled motorcycles without a stroller.

3.21 “End of no-overtaking zone”.

3.22 “Overtaking by trucks is prohibited”.

Forbidden trucks with permission maximum weight more than 3.5 tons overtaking all vehicles.

3.23 “End of no overtaking zone for trucks”.

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 is installed to the nearest intersection behind it, and in settlements in the absence of an intersection - to the end locality. The action of the signs is not interrupted at the places of exit from the territories adjacent to the road and at the places of intersection (adjacency) with field, forest and other secondary roads, in front of which the corresponding signs are not installed.

The area of effect of signs can be reduced:
for signs 3.20, 3.22, 3.24 by installing signs 3.21, 3.23, 3.25 at the end of their coverage zone, respectively, or by using plate 8.2.1. Sign 3.24 coverage area can be reduced by setting sign 3.24 with a different maximum speed;

Now let's move on to road situations.

Situation 16

Violation of sign 3.20 and solid marking line 1.1.

Situation 17

Violation of the sign 3.20.

In this case, there is no road markings, but nevertheless, in accordance with clause 9.1 of the Rules of the Road, the maneuver was carried out with the exit to the lane intended for oncoming traffic.

Situation 18

This situation deserves a separate discussion.

Attention! In this situation, there is a violation! And for such a maneuver, you will be deprived of the right to drive for a period of 4 to 6 months under Part 4 of Article 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation!

The scheme is based on the Decree of the Plenum of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation of October 24, 2006 N 18 (as amended on February 9, 2012), where Supreme Court clarifies judges. Please note that this document has nothing to do with the traffic police or citizens. Moreover, as practice shows, not every judge follows these explanations and it will not be very easy to achieve the truth by referring to this document.

In particular, this document contains a paragraph that is absolutely ridiculous and contrary to the Rules of the Road:

Considering that road sign 3.20 means a ban on overtaking for all vehicles, with the exception of slow-moving vehicles, as well as horse-drawn carts, mopeds and two-wheeled motorcycles without a sidecar, overtaking such vehicles in the area of this sign by other vehicles in the absence of other prohibitions established by the traffic rules (for example, paragraph 11.4 of the SDA), does not form the objective side of the composition administrative offense provided for by Part 4 of Article 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

It must also be borne in mind that overtaking slow-moving vehicles cannot be qualified under Part 4 of Article 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation in cases where:
in the coverage area of the road sign 3.20 there is a road marking 1.1 or 1.11, since according to paragraph 1 of Appendix No. 2 to the SDA in contradiction the meaning of road signs and horizontal marking lines, the priority is given to the road sign, which the driver must follow;

In the situation under consideration, there can be no contradiction! Let's look at the definitions of traffic rules:

Horizontal markings:
1.1 - shares traffic flows opposite directions and marks the boundaries of traffic lanes in dangerous places on the roads; indicates the boundaries of the carriageway to which entry is prohibited; indicates the boundaries of parking spaces for vehicles;
Lines 1.1, 1.2.1 and 1.3 must not be crossed.

3.20 “Overtaking prohibited”. It is forbidden to overtake all vehicles, except for slow-moving vehicles, horse-drawn carts, mopeds and two-wheeled motorcycles without a sidecar.

As you can see, there is no connection between sign 3.20 and road markings 1.1. They completely regulate different moments organization of traffic and are used for various tasks independent of each other. For crossing markup 1.1 there is an unambiguous prohibition without exceptions. And even more so, this ban cannot cancel a slow-moving vehicle. In other words, overtaking permission does not give the right to cross the 1.1 marking.

A contradiction is if it is impossible to follow the requirements of the signs and road markings(for example, when the signs indicate one number of lanes, and the markings another.)

Let's look at the unsigned situation 3.20

Now a slow-moving vehicle is no different from a conventional vehicle, because. overtaking slow-moving vehicles is possible only in the area of the sign 3.20.

Thus, according to the logic of the Supreme Court, the installation of the “No Overtaking” sign allows overtaking.

You can think about stupidity for a long time, about how and why it happened, but let's just note one point “Lines 1.1, 1.2.1 and 1.3 must not be crossed.” and in both cases of this situation overtaking prohibited!

I propose to touch on the topic of low-speed vehicles a little.

There is no such term!

The only place where you can see this phrase is the name of the identification mark of the same name, the description of which is in the document “Basic provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation and obligations officials for road safety”:

“Low-speed vehicle” - in the form of an equilateral triangle with a red fluorescent coating and with a yellow or red retroreflective border (triangle side length from 350 to 365 mm, border width from 45 to 48 mm) - behind motor vehicles for which the enterprise - installed by the manufacturer maximum speed no more than 30 km/h;

Following this definition, before overtaking, the driver must be sure that the maximum speed is set by the manufacturer to no more than 30 km / h.

Even the presence of the identification sign “Slow-speed vehicle” does not guarantee that the vehicle is slow-moving, and vice versa, that if the sign is absent, then the vehicle is not slow-moving.

Despite the fact that the driver of a slow vehicle is responsible for the installation of markings, and that the Supreme Court recommends judges not to bring to administrative responsibility for the inaction of the owner (owner) of a low-speed vehicle, it is possible to establish that the vehicle is a low-speed vehicle only in accordance with technical specifications set by the factory manufacturer.

Situation 19

Another adjustment of the schemes to the text of the Rules of the Road, which has nothing to do with the real situation. It takes a great deal of skill to start and finish overtaking within a two-lane intersection.

If you do not take into account this absurdity, then in general the schemes are correct. And there are no difficulties in interpretation

Overtaking violation:

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;

In all of the above situations, overtaking was committed in violation of the rules of the road and responsibility for these violations rests under Part 4 of Article 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation in the form of deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for a period of 4 to 6 months or a fine of 5,000 rubles in case of automatic fixation:

4. Departure in violation of the Rules of the Road to the lane intended for oncoming traffic, or to tram rails in the opposite direction, except for the cases provided for by part 3 of this article, –
entails deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period of four to six months, and in case of fixing an administrative offense by employees working in automatic mode special technical means that have the functions of photo and film shooting, video recording, or means of photo and film shooting, video recording -
imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five thousand rubles.

Situation 20

In this case, overtaking is not performed, because. there is no exit to the oncoming lane. Violated the rules for the location of the vehicle on the roadway and the requirements of road markings:

9.9. It is forbidden to move vehicles along dividing lanes and roadsides, sidewalks and footpaths

Lines 1.1, 1.2.1 and 1.3 must not be crossed.

Responsibility under Part 1 of Article 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation:

1. Violation of the rules for positioning a vehicle on the carriageway of the road, passing on the opposite side of the road, as well as driving along roadsides or crossing an organized transport or pedestrian convoy or taking a seat in it - shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred roubles.

This concludes our review of traffic violations related to overtaking vehicles.

In the next article, we will look at fines for violating the rules of maneuvering at intersections.

Road to you without obstacles!

Drivers of vehicles in the territory Russian Federation should not only adhere to established rules traffic, but also to monitor the changes that the responsible government agencies make to these rules. In particular, the question of the rules for overtaking vehicles while driving remains relevant. So which side overtaking allowed TS?

Defining concepts in the rules of the road

This year, along with the concept of overtaking, the concept of "leading" is used. According to the eleventh chapter of the rules of the road, when advancing, the vehicle does not enter the lane with opposite traffic, as is the case when overtaking.

The overtaking rules determine that the driver making the indicated maneuver, before its implementation, must:

make sure that there is enough space for overtaking on the section of the oncoming lane (that is, when performing the first stage of auto overtaking, in no case should an emergency situation dangerous for road users be created);
make sure that there are appropriate markings on the road surface;
be able to correctly assess speed modes cars that move on the roadway;
turn on the left turn signal for legal overtaking on the left;
immediately, without delay, perform the planned maneuver when entering the oncoming lane;
turn on the appropriate turn signal when returning to your original lane;
immediately return to your lane if it turns out that the overtaking maneuver is not feasible.

When you can overtake on the left

The driver of the vehicle being overtaken does not have the right to prevent the vehicle from overtaking if the maneuver has already begun.

Overtaking can be done on the left if:

there are no prohibition signs, markings on the road;
vehicles in front show no signs of overtaking;
there is enough space in front of the overtaken vehicle for another car to move there;
the car is moving along main road, at a controlled intersection;
the car moves on the road at such a distance from the car in front, which at least slightly exceeds the minimum for the implementation of the auto overtaking maneuver.

If the car is moving on a pedestrian crossing, it is necessary to overtake according to next rule: If a vehicle, moving near a pedestrian crossing, stops or slows down, the car following it should also stop or slow down.

When not to overtake on the left

On which side is overtaking allowed? The answer to this question is on the left side. However, there are situations and conditions under which it is not possible to overtake on the left the vehicle in front that is a road user.

In what cases is such overtaking prohibited:

According to the current traffic rules, it is strictly forbidden to overtake on the left:

at an intersection (both regulated and unregulated), in case of movement on a secondary (not main) road;
on overpasses and under overpasses;
on ISSO-objects;
at railway crossings, as well as at a distance of one hundred meters before and after the specified object;
in tunnels;
in the upper part of the road, if the latter is uneven sections with hills and depressions, or on any other part of the roadway with limited visibility;
on flyovers;
on a section of the road where the “Overtaking is prohibited” sign is in effect (starting from the road sign and ending with an intersection or exit from a settlement or after a sign canceling overtaking);
at pedestrian crossings and in other places that are intended for pedestrians to cross the road (it does not matter if there are people on this pedestrian zone).

Legislative regulation of issues of overtaking and advancing

Below is a list of items Russian rules road traffic concerning the issues of overtaking and advancing:

that it is necessary to make sure that there is a sufficiently large empty section of the road in front of the vehicle in front - paragraph No. 11.1;
on the categorical prohibition of overtaking in certain places - paragraph of the rules No. 11.4;
that it is unacceptable to prevent other vehicles from overtaking your car by increasing the speed - clause No. 11.3;
on the need to slow down or stop before a pedestrian crossing, provided that the vehicle moving ahead reduces its speed or stops accordingly - clause No. 14.2; that after the indicated maneuver it is necessary to let pedestrians pass if they began to cross the road, that is, they entered carriageway(it is especially important to comply with the rule at an unregulated pedestrian crossing) - clause No. 14.1;
on the prohibition of overtaking in the presence turn signals a vehicle that is ahead on the road - point No. 11.2.

Prohibition signs, fines and overtaking on the right

It is not possible to overtake vehicles on the right, as defined in regulations and other official documents in Russia. However, any violation of the rules described above may lead to the withdrawal driving license for a period not exceeding six or twelve months, or to the payment of a fine.

IMPORTANT! Such a fine (its amount) depends on the specific type of violation and can be up to five thousand rubles.

In case of a single violation of these rules and norms of driver behavior on the road this action may be punished with a smaller amount of the fine, with repeated - more. The same applies to the period of deprivation of rights: for the first case, a measure of deprivation of rights for a six-month period may be applied, in subsequent cases - for a year.

A variety of road signs that relate to the regulation of overtaking processes, as well as options for road markings:

Sign prohibiting overtaking passenger cars on some sections of the road (track), is in the rules under number 3.20. It depicts two cars different colors: red and black. At the same time, the end of the zone of prohibition of auto overtaking of vehicles is indicated by the sign under the number 3.21.
Sign prohibiting overtaking by goods vehicles cars, also depicts two multi-colored vehicles, one of which is a cargo vehicle. In the rules of the road, the prohibition sign is at number 3.22, allowing overtaking by trucks - at number 3.23.
A broken (not solid) line (road markings), which separates two streams of cars traveling in different directions, allows the possibility of crossing it for overtaking on the left, if this does not contradict the rules. In the SDA, such markings are described in a special section, paragraph No. 1.5.

On the video about overtaking errors

Obeying the rules for auto overtaking on the left and not allowing overtaking on the right, and following those rules that are prescribed road signs and markings, will provide a competent driver with accident-free driving and the absence of fines.

The movement of motor vehicles on the roads common use produced in accordance with the Traffic Rules that are established.

The same law regulates the rules for overtaking motor vehicles and the conditions prohibiting overtaking. Where and under what conditions overtaking is prohibited according to the Rules, read on.

What signs represent

The current version of the traffic rules road transport two basic concepts "Overtaking" and "Ahead" are introduced.

Overtaking is considered to be ahead of any type of vehicle associated with the exit to the lane intended for oncoming traffic. Advance is overtaking vehicles without entering the lane of oncoming traffic.

In accordance with the rules, overtaking cannot be carried out exclusively at pedestrian crossings, provided that the overtaken motor vehicle has slowed down or completely stopped.

When overtaking, other rules and restrictions apply. The most common restriction is the zone of action of the sign prohibiting the maneuver.

What are the signs for overtaking? The main sign prohibiting this maneuver is sign 3.20 with the image of two cars in black and red in a circle with a red border.

Vehicles must not be overtaken in the area of this sign except for:

horse-drawn carts;
motorcycles without side trailer(carriages);
mopeds;
bicycles;
slow-moving vehicles (vehicles that, by virtue of their design features cannot reach speeds of more than 30 km/h).

To block overtaking by a truck, sign 3.22 can be additionally installed, on which two cars (black and red) are depicted, and the red car is a truck.

The badge is round in shape and, like in the previous case, has a red border.

This sign is set locked for overtaking trucks vehicles with a permitted weight of more than 3.5 tons. It is impossible to lead any type of vehicle into the oncoming lane without any exceptions.

When conducting repair work or a complete reconstruction of the roadway, temporary signs may be installed prohibiting overtaking.

The temporary sign differs from the permanent sign by the presence of an additional yellow background that draws the attention of drivers to the area of particular risk. The drawing inside the sign is similar to the situations described above.

Any sign, including the one limiting maneuvering (overtaking), must be duplicated by the corresponding road markings in the form of one or two continuous lanes.

Where are they installed

Signs prohibiting overtaking may be installed on the following sections of the road:

with poor visibility;
with sharp turns in one direction or another;
in places of narrowing (reduction of traffic lanes in one direction);
With bad quality pavement;
on steep climb or descent;
with the possibility of access to the roadway for children (for example, near an educational institution).

In addition to the sign "Prohibition of overtaking", a warning sign corresponding to the danger must be installed:

Where does the action end?

In addition to knowing the road sign itself, it is also important to remember the zone to which it applies.

The action of the sign begins immediately after it and ends:

at the first intersection located in the direction of road transport (often used in large cities);
at the end of the settlement, if there are no intersections along the way (the restriction is significant for villages and other small settlements);
after the sign "End of no overtaking zone" (sign 3.21) or "End of no overtaking zone for trucks" (sign 3.23). The signs are made on a white background. Image of two cars gray color crossed out with solid black lines. The shape of the badge is also round, and the border is black.
after the sign "End of all restrictions" (slanted black lines are located on a white background). In addition to lifting the ban on overtaking given sign also cancels imposed speed limits, distance restrictions, a ban on stopping and parking, as well as an audible signal;

after the distance indicated on the additional plate located below the main sign. For example, in the figure below, the overtaking ban applies to a distance of 600 m after the corresponding sign.

What does the traffic law say

Article 11 of the Rules of Traffic is devoted to the rules for maneuvering on the carriageway, including overtaking, advancing and oncoming passing, which establishes:

the duties of the driver, which must be followed before making any maneuver;
situations in the event of which it is forbidden to perform such a maneuver as overtaking;
locked for the drivers of the vehicle being overtaken, in particular, the prohibition to increase the speed, create obstacles and other types of obstacles to overtaking vehicles;
special zones in which overtaking is prohibited under any conditions, including in the absence of appropriate road signs or markings;
rules of conduct for drivers of slow-moving vehicles, namely the need for the driver of this type of transport to take the extreme right position or stop completely so as not to interfere with overtaking (leading). This rule distributed exclusively when driving outside the zone of settlements.

Places where overtaking is prohibited

So, overtaking motor vehicles is prohibited in the following situations (article 11.2 of the Traffic Rules):

vehicles moving ahead overtake other vehicles or bypass an obstacle (wheel, pit, foreign objects, etc.) located on the carriageway;
vehicles moving in front give a left turn signal about the beginning of overtaking, rebuilding or, respectively, a left turn (reversal);
the vehicle following the vehicle intending to overtake has already begun to perform a similar manoeuvre;
after overtaking, the car is not able to return to its lane without creating obstacles or an emergency.

The current legislation, namely Article 11.4 of the SDA, provides a list of places during the passage of which it is also prohibited to overtake motor vehicles.

In the city

In the settlement, in accordance with the rules, overtaking is prohibited on the following places, regardless of the presence / absence of prohibition signs:

At regulated intersections (an intersection is regulated if a traffic light is installed that determines the direction of permitted traffic or there is a traffic controller). The ban on overtaking is associated with simultaneous and rather dense, especially in large cities, traffic in both directions.

At intersections that are unregulated, subject to traffic on secondary road. A secondary road may be marked with one of the following signs:

"Give Way";
"Intersection with the main road" (a secondary road on this sign is indicated by a lane that is smaller in width).
At pedestrian crossings. Previously, the ban applied only if there was a pedestrian at the crossing, but in connection with the amendments approved in November 2014, this exception was completely removed.
At railway crossings due to the presence of a zone heightened danger when a train approaches;
At a distance of 100 m to the railway crossing;
On bridges and under them;
On overpasses and under them;
On overpasses and under them;
When climbing a bridge, overpass or overpass;
in the tunnels;
In any areas with poor visibility.

Outside the village

Overtaking outside a built-up area is also prohibited at intersections (regulated and unregulated when driving on a secondary road), at pedestrian crossings, at railway crossings and within 100 m to them, on bridges, overpasses, overpasses, in tunnels, and so on (generally , in all places similar to settlements).

Additionally, overtaking outside the territory of the settlement is prohibited:

on emergency sections of roads marked with the sign:
on sections of roads of increased danger, for example, due to the poor condition of the road surface, the possibility of gravel ejection from under the wheels, on slippery road. Dangerous areas are also additionally marked with warning signs. For example, the possibility of throwing gravel:
on road sections with dangerous turns. Additional warning signs placed in front of such sections indicate the side to which a sharp turn will be made;
on steep uphill or downhill sections of road. Warning signs indicate not only the presence of a steep ascent (descent), but also the size of the slope (in degrees);
in any areas with limited visibility of traffic (for example, during poor weather conditions, the presence of other motor vehicles on the roadway, and so on).

fines

For violating traffic rules and overtaking wrong place or with non-compliance with the rules of current legislation, an administrative liability is imposed on the driver (in accordance with), which may consist in the imposition of an administrative fine, warning or deprivation of the right to drive vehicles.

Compliance with traffic rules, including the correct execution of overtaking, is monitored by the traffic police inspector personally or using photo or video recording tools (cameras operating in automatic mode).

Incorrect execution of such a maneuver as overtaking may be penalized:

warning or administrative fine in the amount of 500 rubles	() for not using a light signal before making a maneuver (turning on turn signals)
A fine of 5,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for 4-6 months	under article 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses for driving into the oncoming traffic lane (tram tracks in the opposite direction) in the presence of prohibition signs, road markings or in other situations provided for current rules
for a period up to 1 year	when re-entering the oncoming lane for overtaking, in places where this maneuver is prohibited ()
Warning or a fine of 500 rubles	for non-compliance with the requirements established by road signs (marking)

“How many times have they told the world ...”, however, the number of fines, however, as well as the fines issued for overtaking, are regularly growing.

To avoid wasting money, we offer an article that describes the tricks and secrets of overtaking a car.

Overtaking and facts about it:

About a quarter of road accidents are caused by wrong overtaking. Violation of the rules of overtaking leads to the exit into the oncoming lane, for which numerous fines are presented.

More than half car accidents drivers simply did not have time to make the final stage of overtaking, which is the return to the lane.

The main cause of accidents is an erroneous assessment of the situation in the overtaking zone, and more specifically, the driver incorrectly estimates the time needed to complete the maneuver, as well as the distance that the overtaking car needs to cover.

Basic rules for overtaking:

“Not sure - don’t overtake” is a hackneyed expression, but it is it that is the panacea for fatal accidents. Therefore, before overtaking, evaluate its safety.

What does "safe overtaking" mean?

"Beacon" and safe movement

If you value your health and the lives of your fellow travelers, it will not harm you to know that you should not overtake when the car in front is moving at your speed.

It’s better to make this car your “beacon”, because the vehicles in front will report the state of the road in a timely manner.

This is better than straining yourself, and even wasting energy, looking around at a car hanging on its tail, traveling at your speed. Experienced motorists are always looking for a "beacon" companion.

In addition to these advantages, the "beacon" does not allow you to relax and slow down.

How to overtake: step by step instructions

1. Approach the car being overtaken by about 20 m, turn on the turn signal.

2. "Mark" in the left lane, continuing to drive at the speed of the person being overtaken. Make sure that you are not in his "dead zone".

The advantages of this maneuver:

This will give you an opportunity to assess the situation.
. in this way, you prepare the overtaken motorist and do not give him the opportunity to overtake in return.
. you will prevent unwanted overtaking of cars coming from behind.
. you will be able to make sure safe driving rear cars.

3. Only then can you start overtaking. In case of poor visibility, it is advisable to blink the high beam.

4. Before overtaking, turn on the right turn signal and under acute angle get back in your lane.

What if everything went wrong?

1. For example, an oncoming car began to approach sooner than you expected.
2. Or, the offended overtaken added gas.

Overtaking the "engine" - columns of cars

Often there is a minimizer situation when you meet a column of slow moving cars on the track. Overtaking in this case is not easy at all. Difficulties are added by the possible heavy traffic in the oncoming lane.

In such a situation, overtaking should be done by the car that is closest to the low speed car in front. And so on, overtaking is done in a chain. But if you decide not to overtake and your driving dynamics is inferior to other drivers, then you need to notify others about your plans by turning on the right turn signal.

And here's what you should not do under any circumstances - it's double overtaking. Remember that accidents happen because today's motorist is driving tomorrow's car on yesterday's road at the day after tomorrow's speed.
