Rules for overtaking through a solid marking line

Road- a place where anything can happen. Especially if the section of the route is unfamiliar, then the motorist obviously does not know what can be expected from him, where you can drive and where you can’t, in which zones you can start and finish overtaking, and in which you can’t.

By the way, about overtaking. It often happens that the process begins according to the rules, through a broken marking line, and ends, due to various circumstances (speed is not calculated, ignorance of the route, etc.), already on a solid line. Is it legal? Can there be problems with the traffic police? How to avoid the recurrence of such situations? All these questions can be answered in the article.

Organization of traffic on the carriageway

So, according to the theory:

• Line number 1.1 delimits the directions of movement of opposite flows of vehicles; delimits the zone of the carriageway, which cannot be entered; delimits the territory on which parking or parking can be carried out;
• Line number 1.5 separates the directions of movement of vehicles with a two-three-lane traffic system;
• Line number 1.6 differs from the rest in discontinuity. The length of the strokes is approximately three times greater than the distance between them. Warns drivers that lines 1.1 or 1.11 are about to start. The latter, in turn, delimits passing or opposite directions of traffic;
• Line number 1.2.1, more commonly known as "solid", delimits the carriageway at the edges.
• Line number 1.3 performs the same function as lines 1.1 and 1.5, but with four or more vehicle lanes.
• Line number 1.7, which can be distinguished by short strokes, between which the same distance, delimits lane traffic at the intersection, and also highlights the parking area.

It is worth considering that the intersection of lines 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 is possible in any case, but with lines 1.1, 1.3 and 1.2.1 everything is not so simple. In most cases, crossing them is strictly prohibited, and ignoring the ban is punishable by a fine or deprivation of rights. But more on that later.

Also, sometimes there are other types of lanes on the road, such as, for example:

• Line number 1.9 delimits lanes of the carriageway with reverse traffic; and when traffic lights are off, it delimits opposite directions of reverse traffic.
• Line number 1.4 delimits the area of ​​the carriageway where you can not stop.
• In the case of line 1.9, everything is much simpler:
  • It can be crossed if it is not equipped with reverse traffic lights, and also if it is on the right in relation to the driver of the vehicle.
  • If the traffic lights are on, then you can cross line 1.9 as you like, but only if the line separates the lanes of one direction of movement.

Solid marking line and no overtaking

As a result, it turns out that completing overtaking through a continuous Can, but not in all cases without exception.

When is overtaking prohibited?

So, for example, overtaking through a solid line forbidden under any circumstances. But what does the word "overtaking" mean?

According to the terminology , This word denotes the advance of one or more vehicles, by moving to the opposite side of the movement, and then returning to the original lane.

But not every intersection of a continuous line can be called overtaking.

Exceptions

You can cross a continuous marking if you need to go around, for example, some kind of obstacle. In addition, line 1.2.1 can be crossed if you need to stop or park on the side of the road (the main thing is that these actions are allowed on a specific section of the route).

Completion of overtaking through a continuous

What does such a maneuver look like?

Formally, overtaking can be divided into three stages:

1. Departure from the main lane;
2. Leading ahead of vehicles in the oncoming lane;
3. Return to the main lane;

If you believe the modern interpretation of the rules of the road, then before starting to overtake, the driver must make sure that the lane into which he will drive is free and that overtaking itself will not create an emergency in the lanes of the cars.

It should be noted that it is impossible to overtake vehicles in cases where:

In addition, it is forbidden to overtake vehicles:

1. at regulated intersections, as well as at unregulated intersections, which are located on a side road (not the main one);
2. at pedestrian crossings when there is someone on them;
3. at railway crossings, as well as closer than a hundred meters in front of them;
4. in tunnels, on bridges and overpasses, overpasses, on turns and on the final section of the ascent to some kind of hill.

On paper, it looks pretty simple. But you should not think so about the end of overtaking on a continuous one. The rules of the road in this case are inexorable: the completion of overtaking on a continuous strictly prohibited. This is not only unreasonable, but also dangerous for the life of the driver himself, as well as for passengers and other road users. In addition, this is fraught with a stop by the traffic police inspector.

You should not start overtaking if the lane under the number has begun 1.6 . She warns the driver that overtaking will soon forbidden. And this means that the chance of successfully starting and completing it without crossing a continuous strip is very small.

What to do if stopped by an inspector?

Do not despair and give up if the inspector stopped for overtaking on a solid line. You can try to explain to him that overtaking was completed, thus, forcedly due to the actions of third parties, which could lead to the creation of an emergency on the road.

In addition, you can try to convince the inspector that the completion of overtaking in a continuous lane had nothing to do with the movement of the driver in the opposite direction. In this case, however, the fine will still be issued, but in the amount one and a half thousand rubles , which is almost three times less than the maximum penalty for overtaking on a continuous line.

What could be the penalty?

If nothing could be done, then you need to prepare either for deprivation of rights for a period of four to six months or to a fine of five thousand rubles is the maximum penalty for violating this traffic rule.

How to challenge the completion of overtaking through a continuous line

To begin with, you can ask the inspector to draw up a detailed protocol and scheme traffic violations. Data from the DVR, if available, of course, should also be attached.

You can appeal the decision in court within ten days from the date of its issuance.

But if you can establish a dialogue with the inspector and try to convince him of the legality of his actions (naturally, excluding all sorts of ways to bribe an official. Do this strictly prohibited.

Not only from the side of the law, but also from the side of morality), it is unlikely that it will be possible to convince the camera of video recording of violations. As soon as she recorded a violation of the rules of the road, the execution of the resolution begins, it should get to the driver within ten days since the incident was recorded.

What should be considered?

When applying to the court in order to challenge the issuance of a penalty order, the following points must be considered:

You never know what can happen on the road: interference from road users in a state of intoxication or the need to go around some kind of obstacle, and so on. Situations are very different. It would be better if all this was confirmed by video from the registrar.

Supreme Court rulings

True, more than four years ago, at the next plenum, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation canceled the decision on the withdrawal of rights from drivers who started overtaking and finished it in a continuous lane. But this does not mean at all that such a maneuver was then legalized.

The decision contained an addition, according to which all cases are individual and it would be incorrect to consider them in a general order. So, it’s not worth counting on a noticeable relaxation in the issue of deprivation of rights for such a maneuver.

Outcome

As a result, it turns out that overtaking, ending with the crossing of a solid line, is quite controversial maneuver, which is worth doing only in the most extreme cases, when there is simply no other way out. Due to its ambiguity, it still causes a lot of controversy both in motoring circles and in the legal communities.

Even if it may seem to the driver that in any particular case such overtaking would be appropriate, his opinion may not coincide with the opinion of the traffic police inspector, who can issue a decision without any problems on the imposition of a fine for doing such an action. And the fine is the least you can get away with.

But if you follow the following tips, then the chance of getting into an unpleasant situation is noticeably reduced:

And of course, the surest way to avoid any problems that may arise when completing an overtaking on a solid marking line is you don't have to do it. It is better to choose such sections of the route and such moments in the traffic flow when absolutely no risk will be created, let alone an emergency.

Yes, in the city it is often more difficult to predict such a moment for a completely objective reason: long free sections where overtaking is allowed are found in provincial and provincial cities quite rare(naturally, in large centers, such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan and Yekaterinburg, there are no such problems) for the reason that in the cities themselves there is not much room for free maneuver of this type.

The main thing to remember is that every driver while driving is responsible not only for himself and his car or other type of transport, but also for the passengers he carries. Road traffic is a complex process, during which you constantly need to think with your head in order to try not to create emergency or simply dangerous situations, as well as not to endanger the life and health of those around you.

The health and life of people, whoever they are and whatever qualities they possess, is priceless a treasure to be protected. And we can definitely say that no one has the right to take it away. You should not make rash decisions at all, which, even in theory, can lead to victims.
