If you cross two solid lines from one side or another, then the car gets into oncoming traffic, thereby creating an emergency. In this case, the driver may be fined.
Basic moments
Each driver tries to be responsible when driving on the road and not to commit violations. But, unfortunately, this does not always work out. Sometimes we are not immune from the case, and not necessarily through your fault.
The rules of the road were created in order to minimize the risks of accidents on the roads involving motor vehicles.
Before driving, a citizen undergoes theoretical and practical training. If he passes the exams at the traffic police, then he receives a driver's license.
What you need to know
Drivers do not follow changes in laws, and as a result they do not know the new rules and fines for committing offenses on the roads.
Of course, keeping track of new information is extremely difficult, since the types of punishments change every year. It is common to see a car crossing a double solid line to turn around.
Another problem is the condition of our roads, which simply force us to sometimes break this rule so as not to fall into a huge hole and bend the wheels.
Such a violation of the rules of the road is punishable up to deprivation of rights. So it was before.
To date, such a punishment also exists, but most often the driver will be fined. It is worth knowing and distinguishing, the stripes on the canvas can be applied in different colors:
The highest priority of these is orange. It is forbidden to overtake a slow moving vehicle, especially if it promises a violation of traffic rules.
Notes in traffic rules
Following the rules of the SDA, a traffic jam or the vehicle itself, which made a stop in accordance with the rules, is not considered an obstacle.
Therefore, a detour by crossing a double continuous line will be punishable by a capital fine of 5,000 rubles. or deprivation of rights.
For each case, a separate consideration is carried out, in particular, the reasons that led the driver to commit such a violation.
In the SDA in 2017, new notes appeared regarding the adoption of tougher penalties for drunk driving, new order registration of an accident, prolongation of the OSAGO policy.
The changes affected not only traffic rules and the Code of Administrative Offenses, but also the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. All measures have been taken to improve the control of drivers.
Current regulations (Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation)
Ch. 12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses indicates the definition of penalties for violation of traffic rules. Art. 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses specifies the amount of the fine when crossing a double solid line, namely:
Art. 12.16, paragraph 2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses stipulates only a fine for violation in the amount of 1000-1500 rubles. From 01/01/2017, amendments were introduced to the Code of Administrative Offenses to expand.
Particular attention should be paid to the new Art. 48.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, which allows the enforcement of a fine without the participation of bailiffs - "simplified collection procedure."
We invite you to personally familiarize yourself with the table of fines of the traffic police for 2017, including the innovations of Chapter 12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
What is the fine for crossing the double solid line markings in Russia
The penalty for crossing a double solid lane in Russia depends on the trajectory of the vehicle. It can either turn left or right. The maneuver can be performed both on a two-lane road and on a four-lane one.
The amount of the fine ranges from 1000-5000 rubles. In the worst case scenario - deprivation of rights. A separate conversation if the fixation of the violation occurred with the help of photo and video shooting, without the participation of a traffic police officer.
Then the fine will be sent by mail to the violator in the form of a decision. At latest development rights will not be taken away, but a fine will be imposed.
What violations can be recorded by a video recording camera
On any section of the road, traffic police officers control traffic rules, fix violations and issue fines on the spot.
Penalties, in this case, may be in full and according to the rules. With cameras, it's a little different.
If the violation was established by a camera, then the fine can only be in cash, even with the obligation to collect rights.
But, the cameras are not such an accurate guide to the statement that you just crossed the double solid line, perhaps you just went around the obstacle.
Video: crossing a solid marking line. Disqualification or not
In the traffic police decision, a letter to your address will indicate to pay a fine for a double solid, and nothing more.
The law gives you 10 days to file an appeal. Thus, it is possible to reduce the fine to 1,500 rubles or more.
Penalty amount
New laws significantly tightened the types of punishments and fines. In order to be aware of the amount of penalties, you need to familiarize yourself with some common situations of violations, and find out what amount of the fine is due in each individual case.
When turning
Drivers often disregard the rules of the road when it becomes necessary to return.
To do this, you need to make a turn, but unfortunately fate does not always bring good luck, and there is a permitted place on the road to make a maneuver.
There are roads where turns are allowed very rarely, and in order to find it, the driver needs to drive another kilometer.
Therefore, it is necessary to deliberately violate. This type of violation refers to article 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. n 2, which tells about the violation of marking lines and making a turn or a U-turn.
The fine for such an act can vary from 1000 -1500 thousand rubles. Knowing this law, the driver will be armed with useful knowledge, and can prevent the imposed fine from the traffic police officer up to 5 thousand, which is due when driving into the oncoming lane.
By the way, the exit can cost a driver's license. Unreasonable or excessive fines are very common in practice.
This is due to the advent of video recording cameras that can detect a violation, but it is not clear how the driver committed it.
In this regard, the driver receives a notification with the maximum penalty and the amount of the fine, which he can easily appeal and pay several times less.
When leaving the yard
Consider a fairly common situation where a driver wants to turn left when leaving the yard.
In such a situation, in order to avoid a larger fine, the driver must be aware of the peculiarities of his actions and be able to prove his case.
It all depends on the angle at which he makes the turn. If he crossed the solid (axial), then the fine will be only 500 rubles.
It is important to give way to all cars, as well as cyclists, before leaving. Under the new laws, cars must give priority to bicycles and pedestrians.
When turning
A turning violation is governed by the same law as turning and crossing a double solid line.
As you already understood, there are many nuances and controversial situations that you should be aware of when charges are filed by the traffic police. There is a little trick for this.
When the car makes a U-turn, and nothing else, you will not be able to present a more severe violation than what you actually committed. This is followed by a fine of 1-1.5 thousand rubles.
If you make a U-turn, and do not do it at a right angle, such a situation can be regarded as a trip to the oncoming lane, which will cost 5 thousand rubles.
When violations are allowed
Most often, such violations have nothing to do with the desire and intentional violation of drivers.
Rather, other factors are to blame, such as bad roads, lack of space, narrow streets to maneuver, and long distances between places with legal turns.
Naturally, many reasons will remain with us forever, and the only way out is to know the provisions of offenses well and be able to prove your case.
How to Avoid Liability
The only way to try to avoid payment or punishment is to appeal the notification received.
To do this, within 10 days after receiving the decision in person, the driver must file a complaint with the traffic police. An important point is the very preparation of the complaint, since here there are some nuances.
For example, a mandatory item would be to indicate the name of the employee who drew up the protocol, the number of his badge, the number of the patrol car, and compliance with other formal requirements for such a document.
If you decide to defend your rights, before writing, find the specific provisions of the Code of Administrative Offenses that you will rely on when proving your case.
After writing, your complaint will be considered within the next 10 days. Even if you fail to prove the first time, the amount of the fine will not increase, so it's worth a try.
Good afternoon, Maxim. I try not to miss your releases and carefully study them. Lots of useful and much needed information. And let me ask you a question: what if there is a fine for a violation that I didn’t commit and even physically couldn’t be in this area. but with a different order number. It seems that my data was entered into someone else's protocol intentionally (I don't want to believe it) or they made a mistake when entering it into the database, which is also somehow unbelievable.
Hello Maxim. In your article, I don’t understand this, where the traffic rules say that when leaving the yard, you can cross solid marking lines, especially with the exit into the oncoming traffic lane when turning left. Please indicate this paragraph of traffic rules. Sincerely, Boris
Magomed-3
Good afternoon, Maxim. I have a question. Do traffic police officers have the right to film from a moving private car and then attach it to the protocol on administrative violations. And then, without reading the material, send it to the court. Thank you in advance.
Good luck on the roads!
Boris, hello.
Solid markings (single 1.1 and double 1.3) separating traffic flows of opposite directions cannot be crossed.
Lines 1.1, 1.2.1 and 1.3 must not be crossed.
For crossing these types of markings, the driver in any case will receive a fine. This article is about fines.
Good luck on the roads!
Magomed, hello.
If a we are talking about a specific traffic situation, I recommend consulting with a competent lawyer. Most likely, he will find violations after studying all the materials of the case.
Good luck on the roads!
Maxim, I don’t understand why a 90% turn qualifies as something like a through passage through an oncoming lane, but not as an exit into an oncoming lane, but an oblique movement as an unequivocal exit into an oncoming lane. It seems to me that not everything should be so clear. Can you make an argument in terms of traffic rules?
Igor, the lane is oncoming only if the traffic on it is carried out towards your car. If you are driving on a road at a right angle, the lanes are perpendicular. Those. none of the lanes is opposite.
In general, you do not need to cross solid marking lines, then there will be no problems.
Good luck on the roads!

I had a slightly different situation. I turned left at the crossroads and a little missed the intermittent markings, but I didn’t go to the solid one. turned onto a one-way street. The traffic cops threatened me with deprivation for six months, but then they let me go. What threatened me in reality? What are the penalties?
Tatyana, did the car end up driving on a continuous line or on a broken one?
Tatiana-58
Sorry, I misspoke. I didn't go out for a ride. The solid turns out to be crossed in a meter from the intermittent one.
Tatyana if you crossed a continuous marking within the intersection of carriageways, then the punishment could be from 1,000 to 1,500 rubles (part 2 of article 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses).
If the markings were crossed outside the intersection of the carriageways, then the driver could be punished under part 4 of Article 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (5,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for 4-6 months).
Good luck on the roads!

Good afternoon! My son is a citizen of Russia, has a residence permit in the Republic of Belarus, in connection with this he received rights in the Republic of Belarus, at the moment he lives in Moscow. Recently, an incident happened to him: he turned around on the 2nd solid line, the traffic cops immediately stopped him, they said that he would be deprived of his rights, the question is: can they deprive the Belarusian rights in the Russian Federation ??? PS: as a result, they took 20 thousand from him into his pocket !!!
Svetlana, hello.
On the territory of the Russian Federation, they can, among other things, deprive a driver's license issued in another state. In this case, in order to return the rights, you will also have to pass an exam on Russian traffic rules.
Good luck on the roads!
Wowochka, if the markings are not visible, then they should not be punished for crossing them. However, the rest of the requirements of the rules must be observed.
Good luck on the roads!
Good afternoon! Leaving the yard, turn left, marking 6.1 (intermittent, turning into a solid one before the traffic light). They stopped the traffic police, drew a diagram that I drove in the opposite direction and turned already at the crossing, and I turned at a right or maybe slightly beveled angle. I didn’t sign the protocol and the scheme, a subpoena came to court. St. 12.15 part 4 is pressed. Is it legal? How do I behave in court?
If you can’t think of anything, then go to court, where you repent of the offense you committed. This will be a mitigating circumstance and the deprivation of rights will be replaced by a fine.
Good luck on the roads!
I am alarmed by this definition - a competent lawyer. In fact, from my small judicial practice, concluded - this is either an informal visitor to the judge to "resolve the issue", or an ordinary illiterate swindler, tearing money for his "services" (there is zero sense from him). This "literate" - does he know any other traffic rules or what? Maxim will answer that he (the lawyer) has more practice in courts, etc. Anna, I recommend that you google (I prefer Yandex) your question and choose necessary material. I assure you - no lawyer after that will be more competent than you on this issue.GDW nik, in this case, you need to study all the available materials (documents, diagrams) and understand what the author of the question (Anna) has already done right / wrong. With the same violation, the driver may behave differently and the decision of the court depends on this. Therefore, it is easier (faster) to resolve the issue with a personal appeal to a lawyer than through a forum to "pull out" intermediate data for several weeks.
Good luck on the roads!
Alexander-362
Dear Maxim!
Today I provoked by inattention, (very in a hurry) an accident.
Turned from adjoining territory to the left through a double solid line. to then immediately turn right into the garages., i.e. the adjoining roads on both sides of the main one are offset from each other along the axis by five meters. On the left, there were no 300 meters of cars. But on the other side of the traffic, I let a minibus pass along the second lane, but I didn’t notice it coming along the first lane, because I was looking at the entrance to the garage. I crossed almost double at a right angle, because there were also 2 lanes on the other side of the traffic. Thus, in right door a Nissan crashed into me on the first lane. The traffic police “sew” an oncoming lane for me, showing on the accident diagram the trajectory of the exit and the adjacent part at an angle towards the traffic. I refused to sign such a protocol, saying that I was guilty of inattention - an accident and that I drove in a straight line violating the rules under article 12.16 - for non-compliance with the requirements prescribed by road signs or markings. In general, the case was handed over to the investigator on March 31, and the GAI officers tell me that I went to the oncoming lane, ALTHOUGH no one saw this, they can’t say. How can you comment and what would you advise me
Alexander Your interpretation in this case is correct. You were not driving in the opposite lane. Insist on this to the end, if necessary, challenge the possible punishment in higher authorities (court).
Good luck on the roads!
Modern practice clearly demonstrates that the most common type of administrative penalty is fines for non-compliance with traffic rules. Every citizen can become a violator. As for the reasons, they can be very different: lack of experience, poor knowledge of the rules, a fatal accident or deliberate negligence.
Today, one of the most frequent violations committed by Russians is non-compliance with road markings, namely,. Depending on the number of traffic lanes, the road can be divided by one or two continuous lanes, which are strictly forbidden to cross.
In most cases, drivers allow a collision with a solid line or its intersection during maneuvering, making a U-turn. Having successfully completed the maneuver, the car owners are happy that they avoided an emergency, achieved what they wanted and avoided meeting with the traffic police.
As for the real situation, it does not always look like this. In most cases, drivers of cars moving in the oncoming lane are forced to slow down, make a sudden change of lane, and even deliberately create an emergency situation in order to avoid a collision with a reckless driver. It is for this reason that a significant monetary penalty is imposed on the violator for crossing the solid line, and sometimes even completely, he is deprived of the right to drive a vehicle.
Car owners who do not comply with the requirements of road markings and allow the suppression of a solid line should be prepared for the fact that in some situations, for this violation, not only the imposition of a fine is provided, but also.
Of course, there are times when the driver is highly vigilant and tries to follow all the rules, but the state of modern roads simply does not allow you to do without violations. In particular, we are talking about road markings that cannot be seen, but the driver is still fined.
Moving along the road or highway, the driver must understand that when crossing a solid line, he immediately finds himself in the oncoming lane, thereby creating a rather dangerous situation for other car owners. However, when meeting with traffic police officers, one cannot unquestioningly obey the requirement to give a driver's license and sign the protocol.
This is due to the fact that the violation could be committed involuntarily, which provides for some “mitigation” of punishment. As for the inability to see the road markings, such situations give the driver the right to defend his rights by proving that he simply could not see the solid line. This year, car owners who crossed the solid line will face the following types of punishments:
- Administrative penalty in the amount of 5 thousand rubles, or deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle. This preventive measure is valid for those car owners who have committed a violation without a good reason.
- Administrative penalty in the amount of up to 1.5 thousand rubles. Such a fine will have to be paid to those drivers who violated the requirements of road markings involuntarily, for example, when driving around an obstacle. In this case, it is important to know that the traffic jam is not an obstacle. Even if the driver is late for an important meeting, he should move in the general flow, and not enter the oncoming lane. A similar penalty awaits car owners who have made a U-turn through a continuous line.
When committing any violation of traffic rules, the driver must remember that even if the traffic police do not notice his maneuver, this does not mean that he will be able to avoid punishment. Often, on an empty road, the maneuver of a car owner who has lost his vigilance is "notice" by photo cameras and.
This equipment operates automatically, fixing all violations and sending out "letters of happiness" to car owners. Everyone who has received such a notification should remember that if another driver was driving the car at the time of the violation, or the camera worked erroneously, you should defend your rights. However, in this case, you need to take care of the evidence (recording from the DVR, car rental agreement, etc.).
It is noteworthy that the traffic police are well aware that the video recording equipment installed along city roads is far from perfect and “makes” mistakes from time to time. That is why the size of the administrative penalty for a violation "noted" by cameras is always minimal and does not provide for the deprivation of a driver's license.
Along with the "plus" described above, the driver must remember that the equipment is not able to "see" extenuating circumstances.
In other words, even if the crossing of a solid line was made in order to avoid an obstacle, the camera will not be able to notice this, and the fine will be 5 thousand rubles. In this case, immediately after receiving the decision, the car owner must take the measures necessary for.
The legislation is quite strict about those car owners who, having once crossed a solid line, do not want to “correct” and allow another similar violation.
In such a situation, the driver will definitely not be able to limit himself to paying a fine. Within 12 months, such a malicious violator will have to travel on the roads by public transport or taxi.
One way or another, car owners of all Vehicle must be extremely careful and careful on the roads. It is important to understand the fact that traffic rules, road signs and markings were invented not to restrict freedom of action, but to ensure the safety of all road users.
The consequences of non-compliance with the rules are often quite deplorable. As a result of a traffic accident, cars are damaged, and most importantly, people suffer.
Are they deprived of their rights or not for crossing a solid marking line?
Post Views: 12
The number of drivers deprived of their rights for driving in the oncoming lane is growing every year. This administrative offense is quite serious and can lead to very big troubles on the road.
What is the penalty for overtaking through a continuous
You can get off with a small fine for overtaking through a continuous line in case of violation of Part 2 of Art. 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Turning and turning left through a double or single marking line will cost the driver a fine from 1000 to 1500 rubles. The same responsibility is assumed if the driver drove around an obstacle, for example, the scene of an accident, in the oncoming lane, but there was the possibility of a detour on the right.
Note: there is an opinion that for a detour of a slow-moving vehicle, like a tractor or a bus at a bus stop, the driver faces only a small fine, but due to amendments to the law, such an offense is punishable a fine of 5000 rubles or deprivation of a driver's license for up to six months.
Any exit into the lane intended for oncoming traffic, not related to turning left or making a U-turn, is punishable a fine of 5000 rubles or deprivation of a driver's license for a period of 4 months to six months. There is no penalty for repeated violations. rights will be withdrawn for a whole year.
When crossing a solid line is not a violation
There are a few exceptions where crossing the lane markings is not a violation. For example, when driving around an obstacle, driving onto the side intended for oncoming traffic is not an offense, but only if there is no possibility of a detour on the right side.
In the event of an emergency, it is necessary to brake, while not changing the direction of movement. Many motorists, trying to avoid an accident, make a maneuver and drive into the oncoming lane, thereby dooming themselves to liability or deprivation of rights. But, if the driver manages to prove in court that the car was on the “oncoming lane” as a result of the impact, then he will be completely exempted from liability and the violation will be canceled. Words alone will obviously not be enough to prove the case in court, a video recording from the registrar or a couple of witnesses will help much more.
Fine or deprivation of rights for overtaking on a continuous
Crossing the longitudinal marking line entails administrative liability in the form of a pecuniary punishment or deprivation of rights. What is the type of punishment?
Minor violations related to crossing the markings are punishable only by a fine and do not need to be considered by the court. Any violation related to the fact that the driver drove at least a meter in the oncoming lane requires judicial review. The exception is offenses, protocols for which are drawn up using photo and video recording systems, in this case only a fine is provided.
The verdict of the judge is indirectly affected by the involvement of the car owner in administrative responsibility in the past. If the driver has a lot of fines and even if all of them are paid, then this will greatly affect the decision of the judge, far from being in favor of the accused. The only exceptions are fines from photo and video cameras, they do not affect the future decision on monetary punishment or deprivation of rights.
Extenuating circumstances in case of deprivation of rights can be documentary evidence that the car is an integral part for the main earning of money.
Documents on the presence of one or more dependent children are extenuating circumstances.
If the guilt is fully proven by the side of the accuser, then in order to mitigate the punishment, it is worth repenting of the offense committed and fully admitting one's guilt. Non-admission of guilt leads to a re-trial, with the involvement of traffic police officers as witnesses. The court has no reason not to believe in the testimony of employees, and in this case it is most likely not possible to get off with a fine.
How to build a defense in court
If the offense was actually committed, there are no unlawful leavings in the actions of the traffic police, and the material contains a photo or video that proves the driver’s guilt, then such a case can be appealed, but this will not give any result. Under such circumstances, even a competent lawyer will not save, he will only make things worse. At the time of the hearing in the case, the car owner loses his rights and instead of a fine or a deprivation period of 4 months, he may be left without a license for a longer period.
In cases where the correctness of the driver is provable, words and witnesses will not help much, it is worth providing photographs or video clips from the scene of the violation to the trial. The markings, road signs and the car of the traffic police should be clearly visible on them. If possible, against the background of the photo, it is worth capturing large objects for geolocation reference.
It is forbidden to cross a solid line of road markings, double or single, - every motorist is familiar with this axiom, because such a violation of traffic rules is subject to a rather significant fine.
At the same time, the situation of crossing continuous markings on the road is not always resolved by an administrative decree: the law provides for several cases when liability does not arise at all. Let's turn to the legislation governing traffic and try to figure out when a fine or even deprivation of rights is inevitable, and in what cases the driver crossed the line without violating the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
Crossed the solid - lost the rights
The Rules of the Road contain provisions that define the meaning of the term "double solid". According to the SDA, this is a line that delimits four-lane (or six-lane as an option) traffic, separating two opposite road directions from each other. From the interpretation it is clear that the violation of the delimitation, that is, in fact, driving into the oncoming road, with a high probability entails collisions of cars and, as a result, victims. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to cross a solid marking line.
Usually violations of this kind occur when overtaking. One of the penalties that can be imposed on an overtaking violator is the deprivation of a driver's license.
- So, if you drove into the oncoming lane through a double line, then you can be assigned as a fine (5 thousand rubles),
- So is deprivation of rights (from 4 months to six months).
Recall that the traffic police officer does not have the right to withdraw the rights on the spot, the driver himself must surrender the rights after the court decision comes into force.
What can influence the choice of punishment?
According to practice, in most cases, when an offense under paragraph 4 of Art. 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation is committed for the first time, a monetary penalty is imposed. In those cases, when the inspector recorded the repeated crossing of a double continuous line, you can’t get off with a fine: most likely, a decision will be made to deprive you of your rights.
The law also directly provides for a situation where a driver who has already been punished earlier for driving into an oncoming lane again commits a similar violation. Then he is waiting for:
- withdrawal of rights for one year if the violation was noticed by a traffic police officer;
- a fine of 5,000 rubles if the actions of the motorist became known using video recording tools.
By the way, in the event of administrative liability based on the information data of outdoor video surveillance cameras and photography, it should be remembered that the nuances of violations are not covered by the review. So, the camera may not recognize whether there was an obstacle or circumstances of extreme necessity, as a result of which the owner of the car receives notifications about the accrual of maximum fines. If you know for sure that you are not actually a violator (for example, you went around an accident and only therefore crossed a continuous one), then within 10 days the “letter of happiness” should be appealed by presenting your evidence.
U-turn and exit through lanes
- If the driver turned the car around and at the same time crossed a double continuous lane, then a fine of 1,000 to 1,500 rubles awaits him.
- In practice, traffic police officers often initiate the deprivation of a VU for any crossing of a double continuous line, even when the law only provides for a fine.
So, in practice, there are cases when, when making a U-turn (similarly, when turning left) through a double line, the driver drove several meters in the oncoming lane, which is the basis for deprivation of a driver's license. At the same time, sometimes the driver actually made a U-turn through continuous markings, but at the same time captured a little more of the road space - the situation is controversial, the court decides to consider it a basis for deprivation of a driver’s license or just a fine. The provided video recording materials (both personal, on the flash storage of the DVR, and made by outdoor cameras) will be decisive in such controversial moments.
When turning around, you must follow the signs that allow such maneuvers. So, the ability to turn the car around is provided by road signs both in a specific place and in a place indicating a certain distance to it. Marking is of secondary importance, so you can’t focus only on it when driving.
Hard to see solid
In addition, if the solid line on the road is almost erased and looks like a broken line that is difficult to see, then the law is on the side of the driver, who is recommended to fix the state of the dividing line on the camera and, if necessary, subsequently submit it to the court. In most cases, poor visibility of the double solid line is a circumstance mitigating liability, and sometimes decisive in choosing alternative punishments (deprivation of the right and a fine).
Overtaking crossing
Noteworthy is the overtaking by the driver of the car when the end of the action falls on a double continuous line, while the beginning of the overtaking took place in the absence of a continuous line. A motorist can be recommended to provide evidence that excludes his guilt, that is, confirmation that overtaking was originally started on a section of the road where there is no solid line.
In such a situation, reference may be made to 11.4 SDA, where it is clearly indicated the need to complete your maneuver. This article of the Rules of the Movement can be cited not only in a complaint against the actions of traffic police officers, but also make a note in the protocol of an administrative offense: I do not agree with bringing to administrative responsibility, because according to subpara. 11.4 of the Law, I completed the overtaking, which began on the road with intermittent markings.
Departure from the parking
Punishment in the form of a simple warning or a small (500 rubles) fine is provided for crossing a double continuous line when leaving a parking lot, gas station, etc.
Wheel hitting the line
A frequent violation that becomes the object of attention of the traffic police is a collision with a wheel on a line, which forms an offense called "violation of the location of the car on the carriageway with markings." The guilty person may be fined 1500 rubles.
Disputes on the road
Quite often there are disputes on the road that the driver crossed the double continuous line involuntarily. If this is true, then he should not be punished. So, it often happens that:
It is not possible to go around any obstacle on the right
It can be anything: a stone, an abandoned car, a load, a fallen tree, etc. If it is objectively impossible to drive on the right, the driver does not face any responsibility at all: the driver’s lawful actions involve waiting for an oncoming vehicle to pass, carefully go around obstacle through continuous markings, return to your lane.
If, nevertheless, it is established that it was possible to drive, the driver is obliged to pay a fine. In addition, traffic jams, traffic jams, stopped cars, whose drivers did not violate traffic rules, are not an obstacle, even if there was no possibility of a detour on the right.
For example, there is a huge traffic jam on the road, in front of a car that obediently moves a meter per minute. You feel that you don't have to wait for the broken down car that is 500 meters ahead of your car to be towed, and boldly drive out through the double lane, overtaking drivers who are too slow in your opinion - in this case, more likely to alternative punishments and in the form of a fine * and deprivation of the VU, the latter will be chosen.
You moved into the oncoming lane to avoid an accident
In this case, reference should be made to Art. 2.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and prove that the driver's actions fully fell under the concept of "emergency". This means that there was no other way to avoid the danger. If the reasons given and the facts established are really necessary, liability is excluded.
Questions
Question: When leaving the parking lot of a hypermarket on a six-lane road, we crossed a double continuous one. We crossed this lane, immediately turning around. *What is the penalty for crossing a double solid line* in the situation I described?
