SDA were created in order to fulfill them. The intersection of the solid marking line is the main violation that is observed not only here, but also abroad. Recently, due to the tightening of liability for violation of traffic rules, traffic police fined the offender, draw up a protocol and send him to court. The offender is often deprived of a driver’s license.
In our country, none of the laws can provide for all situations in life and on the roads. According to the law of the Russian Federation, for crossing a solid line a fine is from a thousand to one and a half thousand rubles. Often you want - you don’t want, but you have to violate this rule of the road, and the police officer interprets it as it is prescribed by law.
The problem that is in our blood
Violation of the rules not only in the mentality of our citizens, but also in our roads, road services, which sometimes simply forget to moisten the brush with white paint for marking. In some places there are pits or bumps that are easier to go around in the oncoming lane than to crash your car about them. Previously, crossing a double solid marking line or going to the oncoming lane for any maneuver was punishable by deprivation of rights or a fine. Today, according to the law of the Russian Federation, punishment for crossing a continuous line is limited only by a fine, but in special cases, which we will consider later, the offender may lose his rights for up to six months.
Several types and situations of crossing a solid line
We consider each of the cases separately.
The first case. The motorist makes a left turn through the oncoming lane and, accordingly, through a solid line. The intersection of the solid line is punishable by traffic police officers by fines. The fine varies from a thousand to one and a half thousand rubles.
The second case. The motorist wants to turn right, while ignoring the solid line. This offense is also punishable by a fine from a thousand to one and a half thousand rubles. This case is also considered separately by the traffic police officer, who may deprive the offender of rights for up to six months.
The third case. U-turn through solid. Many drivers are convinced that for this violation they face the loss of a driver’s license. But under the new rules of the road, a fine of one thousand to one and a half thousand rubles is imposed for this violation.
The fourth case. Departure from the courtyard to the two-way street. In this case, the offender will receive a fine in the amount of one hundred rubles for non-compliance with the requirements prescribed by the road sign, in the particular case it is a left turn.
The fifth case that you have encountered more than once when turning left, before reaching the dashed line. Drivers motivate this by the fact that a meter or two remains, and I want to catch it while the green light of the traffic light is on. In fact, this offense means driving into the oncoming lane, which interferes with other drivers and can lead to a deplorable situation on the road. In this episode, the motorist will not get off with just a fine, he will lose his rights for up to six months.
The sixth case. The intersection of the solid line when overtaking. The driver makes a maneuver, which can lead to a very dangerous situation on the road. For crossing a continuous marking line - a fine, deprivation of a driver’s license for up to six months.
Performing such a maneuver, the driver must remember that on the road, besides him, there are others.
Often on the roads there are situations when the driver simply by accident breaks the rules of the road and crosses a solid line. Such cases occur year-round, not only through the fault of the driver himself, but also for many reasons that can be attributed to the so-called force majeure. A person is not safe from natural disasters, from drifts, unpurified roads by public utilities. Sometimes there is simply no solid line, but you have to go. So there is another case with the necessary departure to the oncoming lane. Let's consider it separately.
Ways to avoid obstacles on the road
There are many cases when you calmly drive your car out of town, listen to the radio, and suddenly there’s a traffic jam ahead of you due to a car breakdown. You are standing in a traffic jam, barely braiding, and now there comes a moment when you are approaching that section of the path where a broken car stands. You have three options for resolving this situation.
First
Wait for the motorist to subjugate his car and drive on. In this case, you will avoid breaking the rules and will wait for the solution to the problem.
Second
Drive around an obstacle along the side of the road or sidewalk, in this case you are violating the road rule under Article 12.15 of the first part (crossing a solid line of a passing direction), which carries a penalty of five hundred rubles if it is a roadside, and 2000 if it is a sidewalk.
Third
We go around the obstacle in the oncoming lane. In this episode, the car enthusiast does not lose his driver’s license, although he may receive an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand to one and a half thousand rubles.
Violation Statistics
According to statistics from 2013, 2 percent of the country's population in such cases are waiting and trying to help the poor man so that he quickly frees the roadway. Twenty-eight percent circumambulate the obstacle along the sidewalk and sidewalk, and seventy percent of motorists drive in the oncoming lane. From these data it follows that in our time, almost every second person violates the rules of the road, and every tenth intersection of a solid line leads to an accident. The conclusion is this: when driving, you should have patience or finances to pay a fine. Indeed, an unpleasant incident for you and many people can always happen in which no one is to blame, but this incident can affect not only someone's life, but also the fate of people close to you.
Why else can they strip you of your driver’s license?
Few motorists know that there are situations where they can lose their driver’s license without even crossing the solid line of the motorway. In this case, the traffic police officer will deprive them of their rights and send the case to court, although the motorist, it would seem, did overtake through an intermittent marking line. The fact is that a person could simply not notice the sign “overtaking is prohibited” and overtake a vehicle in the oncoming lane. In this case, the inspector will be completely right, and the court will decide to deprive you of a driver’s license for up to six months. This is the punishment for crossing a solid line. The term for the deprivation of a driver’s license only takes effect ten days after the verdict has been announced. Ten days are given to you to appeal this decision. There are situations when the term for the confiscation of a driver’s license may not begin in ten days, but later. We consider these situations separately.
Situations in which the term for confiscation of a driver’s license may be postponed
The first. If a car enthusiast appeals to a higher court, the verdict will come into force only when there is a decree of the last court, while we note that the driver has the right to use the car and drive, until the decree on the withdrawal of his driver’s license is passed.
Second. If the motorist fails to hand in his driver's license within three days, the period of withdrawal of his driver’s license will not begin.
In fact, the second method helps the car enthusiast to cheat and drive his car, as they say, before the first violation. In the practice of traffic police officers, there have been cases when the driver did not hand in his driver's license for about three or more years, without violating traffic rules.
In conclusion, I want to say that you should not neglect traffic rules, in particular, cross a double solid line, since you are not alone on the road. And, violating this rule, you can interfere with another driver, who may be less experienced in this situation.
Having violated the rules of the road once, you will violate them until you are caught and fined, or worse, you will not get into a traffic accident, which you will be to blame. In a traffic accident you will not get off with one fine, everything will depend on the nature of the accident. Do not violate traffic rules, respect yourself and other motorists.
