Driving backwards traffic rules. Reversing against leaving the adjacent territory

Natalia-2

:!: This topic contains comments related to the article

I'm certainly not an expert, but driving in reverse and driving in the opposite direction are two different things. Reversing is driving backwards, and driving in the opposite direction is driving forward, but against traffic.

Of course, these are different things.

But here's what the Supreme Court wrote

Violation by the driver of the requirements of any road sign, which resulted in the movement of the vehicle he is driving in the opposite direction on a one-way road, forms the objective side of the administrative offense provided for by Part 3 of Article 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (for example, violation of the requirements of road signs 3.1 "Entry is prohibited", 5.5 " One-way road", 5.7.1 and 5.7.2 "Entering a one-way road").

When applying this rule, it should be borne in mind that, based on the content of clause 8.12 of the SDA,. Violation by the driver of the above conditions forms the objective side of the composition of the administrative offense provided for by Part 3 of Article 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. According to the same norm, the actions of a driver who reversed onto a one-way road in violation of the requirements of road sign 3.1 "Entry is prohibited" should be qualified, and in the case when such a maneuver was performed at an intersection, also under part 2 of article 12.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. "

As you can see, the court does not find a difference whether you are moving forward or in reverse.

By the way, in Maxim's article it is written:

Please note that reverse gear is not prohibited on one-way roads, but it is possible to use it only until an intersection, tunnel, bridge or other structure from the list appears on the road.

VS says something different. Reversing is possible only when there is an OBJECTIVE NECESSITY for this??? In other words, if you back up on a one-way road and there is no "intersection, tunnel, bridge or other structure from the list", then you will still be deprived of your "rights" unless you prove in court that you had an objective need to go backwards.

Hello! Moved along the side of the main road in reverse, at a speed of 3 km. at one o'clock. I did everything in accordance with paragraph 8.12 of the SDA, I moved very slowly with the emergency gang on, I constantly monitored the situation behind the car in the mirrors. From the adjacent territory, a loaded Gazelle decided to leave the main road. Weather -35 visibility is good. In order to get to the main road of the Gazelle, it is necessary to overcome a slight rise, respectively, the gazelleist stepped on the gas and when he saw me he braked into the skid (as evidenced by the presence of a braking distance, about a meter and a half), but did not have time to stop and hit my tag in the rear right bumper burdock , just under the hatch from the banzo tank, leaving at the same time on the main road. I did not expect this, and drove another meter and stopped. The gazelist violated the traffic rules clause 8.3 (he had to let everyone through). In the traffic police, the inspector issued a determination who was driving back (that is, I) violated clause 8.12 of the traffic rules. And the driver of the Gazelle did not violate anything! The question is, is such a definition legal?

The traffic police made the correct determination, in accordance with paragraph 8.12 of the SDA:

8.12. The movement of the vehicle in reverse is permitted provided that this maneuver is safe and does not interfere with other road users. If necessary, the driver must enlist the assistance of other persons.

Good afternoon!

passing through an intersection with a one-way (left) 4-lane road. The car ahead (2) turned left into the rightmost lane and stopped in front of a zebra. I went straight, but that car (2) turned on the back and drove into me.

A decision was made to dismiss the case.

Where the field was set: the driver of the car (2) did not make sure that it was safe when reversing. 812 traffic rules

Where "Defined": there is no administrative offense in the actions of the driver.

how can that be?

Eugene, hello.

Reversing at intersections is prohibited by traffic rules. If you do not agree with the documents drawn up by the inspector, write "disagree" in them and state your point of view. Only then sign.

Although in this case it is not clear what you want to achieve in the end. If you explain this, it will be possible to give more specific advice.

Good luck on the roads!

Paul, Hello.

Paul, Hello.

1. What are the road signs and markings on this section of the road?

2. Article 5.5. what legal document?

Hello!

There are no signs. One lane marking.

A document like a protocol.

Paul

Paul, explain what the violation of the rules consisted of. Just for reversing on the road, rights are not deprived.

Maxim, the traffic police officer explained to me that I was moving along a one-way lane.

Paul, Now it is clear.

Regarding your situation, there is an explanation of the Supreme Court.

driving in reverse on a one-way road is not prohibited, provided that this maneuver is safe for road users and, taking into account the current traffic situation, is caused by an objective necessity (for example, avoiding an obstacle, parking)

If you prove that your maneuver was caused by an objective necessity, then there will be no deprivation of rights.

Good luck on the roads!

Paul, explain what the violation of the rules consisted of. Just for reversing on the road, rights are not deprived.

Max, you are amazing! There are no rule violations. Everything is left to the discretion of the inspector. They are deprived not for traffic violations, but according to the clarification of the RF Armed Forces. Those. there is no traffic violation point, but they are deprived of it according to 12.15.4. And this lawlessness has been working for 2 years already!

wowick, Do you know cases when a driver was deprived of his rights simply for reversing?

For example, for the fact that he drove backwards from a parking space or did parallel parking.

For such maneuvers, no. But for the fact that the people of the traffic jam in the opposite lane go around in reverse, yes. Such cases were described in the Internet. Or passed the necessary exit on the highway ... There is no specifics, everything is left to the discretion of the inspector

That is, on an oncoming lane in reverse is a deprivation or a fine?

Did I understand correctly?

Tell me, please, what exactly to say to the judge so that they don’t deprive?

In court, you need to cite in your defense an excerpt from:

driving in reverse on a one-way road is not prohibited, provided that this maneuver is safe for road users and, taking into account the current traffic situation, is caused by an objective necessity (for example, avoiding an obstacle, parking)

You need to explain that this applies to your situation.

Good luck on the roads!

Hello! Tell me, please, is it right to deprive me of my rights or is it a divorce?

I maneuvered along the alternate Varshavskoye highway in the area of ​​​​d107 in reverse to the metro, and drove about 50 meters at a speed of 5 km / h, parked, and an inspector approached me, who showed me Article 5.5. What should I do in this situation? Thanks!

As I understand it, this is a violation of the requirements of sign 5.5 "One-way road". Driving back on such a road 50 m - you will have to prove that the parking place was so far behind your stop, and it was impossible to park in front due to objective circumstances.

Good afternoon.

please tell me!

an accident occurred.

I drove onto the main road from a secondary one, due to the slight rise in the road there was insufficient visibility. As soon as I almost drove out to the main road, I saw that a car was speeding in reverse. The road was one-way, but not marked with this sign, because (as the traffic police explained) this is considered a highway junction.

we were assigned a parsing group, where the two sides were recognized, from which I was stunned, of course. they wrote me a fine saying I didn’t give in, they wanted to solder him for driving in reverse.

what can be done in such a situation? will the insurance company be able to pay at least some% of the repair or is it pointless to wait for a court decision in his case?

Everything is correct. You must give way, and it does not say in which direction the other car should go. And he, when reversing, must let all other road users pass.

I haven’t come across it, but they say that in this case, the UK pays half the damage to everyone ...

There is a lot of fuss... Senseless... Thank you, Mademoiselle Corruption... To hell with the lawyers: Can we agree?

If I have CASCO, then we will not agree.

Dmitry-132

Is there any point in filing a complaint? Essence:

Complaint against the decision in the case of an administrative offense No. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Good afternoon! I earnestly ask you to cancel the specified decision or mitigate responsibility (replacing the fine with a warning), due to the fact that the maneuver recorded by the ST-15018 surveillance camera (driving to another lane in the same direction with violation of the solid marking line) I MADE FORCED.

So, at about 16:51 on 06/12/16, I, moving along the extreme right lane in a XXXX car, along the street. Velozavodskoy from the center stopped at a crossroads at a red traffic light near 6A - this position was recorded by a video camera, I did not go beyond the stop line.

At this time, an additional section of the green traffic light lit up for the cars of the opposite direction, making it possible to turn around and turn left (to Avtozavodskaya Street). One of these cars, I believe by mistake, instead of turning left, made a U-turn, after which it stopped in the middle of the intersection, having caught up with the green lawn that divided the street. Avtozavodskaya on 2 carriageways, AND THEN I STARTED REVERSING THROUGH THE CROSSROADS along the lane I occupied, apparently intending to have time to stand in front of me (while the red light is on), and then turn now to the right onto Avtozavodskaya street under the "green arrow". However, by the time he began to reverse, the green light had already turned on and I had ALREADY STARTED moving forward (the “Move in lanes” sign installed above the far right lane allowed me to drive both to the right and in the forward direction), Thus, this car actually moved at the intersection in one lane directly towards me (only in reverse) - ALL THIS IS CLEARLY VISIBLE ON THE PHOTO APPLIED TO THE DECISION APPEALED.

At the same time, another car was moving behind me, sharp braking could have led to a collision from behind, so I had to break the continuous marking line to avoid an accident, driving into another lane of a passing direction.

Dmitry I don't see much point in appealing against this penalty. You deliberately broke the rules.

1. The most logical option would be to wait until the car reversing through the intersection completes this strange maneuver.

2. Another possible option. Drive up to this car and stop. If necessary, sound the horn to avoid an accident.

Good luck on the roads!

Hello. Here you have written "the driver of a car moving in reverse will be held responsible for any accident." Just imagine, I also thought so, BUT today the interrogator surprised me. My story, please help.

Leaving the adjacent territory (yard), he stopped in front of Budenovsky Ave, letting cars moving along the main one, after which he felt a blow to the front right side of the car. - That's what I wrote in the explanation. The photo shows that my car is standing perpendicular to the roadway, on straight wheels, just having moved off the curb (specially lowered), i.e. the entire hood is obtained on the roadway, and the Gazelle with an open steel body rested with the right rear side in the middle of the hood (above the center of the right wing).

The inspector, the interrogator wrote me a fine of 500 rubles for violating rules 8.3. And he determined - There is no composition of the AP in the actions of the driver of the Gazelle. These circumstances exclude the proceedings in the case of the AP. The inspector pleaded guilty MUTUALLY! Although it turns out the Gazelle was moving in reverse along the public transport lane. Naturally, no one properly interrogated us, but they said something like - Write as it was, write in your own words. Here's what you can hear from them.

Please tell me, is it worth appealing against such a decision and will the court at least somehow listen to my arguments? I think the inspector is fundamentally wrong.

Now the approximate text of the statement to the higher standing official and the court at the same time!

_____________________________________________________________

Leaving the yard, he stopped in front of the roadway of Budenovsky Avenue, without leaving it. I looked around, on the right was a parked gazelle in the lane for general traffic. transport, which I saw in advance at a distance of 25m approaching the roadway. Turning my head to the left, making sure there was no interference, I started moving straight, because. a parked gazelle prevented me from immediately making a right turn maneuver. Starting straight ahead, I saw the Gazelle reversing, I sharply pressed the brake pedal and pressed the horn on the steering wheel, but the driver did not react and collided with my vehicle. Leaving the car, I saw that in front of the Gazelle there was an absolutely empty road in the direction of Komsomolskaya Square. He explained that he needed to drive into the yard, from which I left.

Reversing is a very complex maneuver that requires maximum concentration from the driver. Indeed, at the same time, visibility is significantly limited, and movement becomes more complicated. Therefore, in some places where emergency situations can be created, such driving is prohibited.

Is it allowed

Dear readers! The article talks about typical ways to solve legal issues, but each case is individual. If you want to know how solve exactly your problem- contact a consultant:

APPLICATIONS AND CALLS ARE ACCEPTED 24/7 and 7 days a week.

It's fast and IS FREE!

There are certain rules that must be followed when reversing. You should do this slowly, carefully assess the traffic situation. If the sound of a horn is heard, stop and clarify the situation.

The other driver, who saw the possibility of an accident, is obliged to give a signal to prevent it. In an accident, the person driving in the rear is always the culprit.

According to the Rules of the Road, it is forbidden to drive in reverse in some areas:

• on a pedestrian "zebra";
• at stops;
• at the crossroads;
• on the motorway;
• at railway crossings;
• on bridges and overpasses;
• on flyovers;
• in areas with poor visibility;
• in places where U-turns are not allowed;
• when interfering with other road users.

In areas with poor visibility, you can make such a maneuver only with the help of another person: a passenger or an unauthorized pedestrian.

In addition to the above restrictions, such movement is prohibited by some signs:

• “Entry prohibited”, since motorists, in principle, cannot drive under it;
• "Route lane", for the same reason.

About a special case of reversing on a one-way road in the Rules is not mentioned. The Ruling of the Supreme Court, adopted in 2012, states that it is allowed subject to the safety of the maneuver and its objective necessity: in the case of avoiding an obstacle or parking.

What else can be an objective necessity is not in either the SDA or the Resolution, therefore, either an employee of the State traffic inspectorate or a court decides this issue.

So, driving in reverse on a one-way road is allowed if:

• she is safe;
• does not create an emergency;
• there are no prohibition signs on the road;
• there are no pedestrian crossings, intersections, bridges, etc. on the way of the car. (i.e. places where it is prohibited by the Rules);
• she is a necessity.

Moreover, how much you can drive, 2, 3 or 10 meters, is not specified in any regulations.

You should know that if the driver has passed a turn or exit from a one-way road, returning to him in reverse will be the desired and most convenient action for him, but not an objective necessity.

Therefore, he will have to make a circle by driving forward and return to the turn or exit in this way.

Liability for violation

Under the current Code of Administrative Offenses in the Russian Federation, a driver who has driven on a one-way road in reverse will be punished with an administrative fine.

Which, depending on the circumstances, may vary in size:

1. In places where this maneuver is prohibited (on bridges, flyovers, crossings, intersections, etc.), this violation can be qualified as non-compliance with the rules of maneuvering, for which you will have to pay 500 rubles.
2. For the same action committed on the motorway, the penalty will be higher, already 2,500 rubles.
3. The biggest fine threatens motorists who drove in reverse at places where prohibition signs were installed or prohibition markings were applied. Such maneuvers most often create emergency situations, and therefore the punishment for them is 5,000 rubles. Also, the driver's license can be confiscated for four or six months. If he commits this offense again, in case of registration of actions by CCTV cameras or photographic means, a fine of 5,000 rubles will be imposed again. The inspector for a similar violation of traffic rules has the right to deprive the rights for a year.

In the latter case, the maneuver is equivalent to driving on a one-way road in the opposite direction. Such a measure of punishment was proposed by the same Resolution of the Supreme Court, adopted in 2012.

How to pay a fine

A driver who is confident that he is right and is going to appeal against the actions of a traffic inspector should not rush to pay the fine. The rest of the citizens better hurry up with this.

After all, since 2016, a law has come into force that allows you to pay off some penalties with a fifty percent discount if it is made within 20 days after receiving the decision.

Half of the amount will not be paid to motorists who have committed the following offenses:

• some repeated ones that happened within a year after the first punishment;
• driving while intoxicated and refusing to be tested;
• an accident due to the fault of the driver with injured people;
• in case of delay or delay in the execution of the decision on the imposed penalty.

The minimum fine for driving on the carriageway in reverse is 500 rubles. Therefore, with a discount, the amount will be only 250.

You can pay the debt through the bank's cash desk according to the receipt, the Sberbank Online application, payment terminals, electronic payment systems, the websites of the traffic police and public services.

Through the online service of Sberbank, there are no commissions when paying, which is an indisputable advantage over some other methods.

First you need to enter your Personal Account, then:

1. Click on "Transfers and payments".
2. Select "traffic police, taxes, duties" from the menu.

   

3. Click on the organization that issued the fine, that is, the traffic police.
4. Fill out the form with the required details.

   

   Then it remains to enter the amount of the fine and the number of the card from which the funds will be transferred.

   Is it possible to appeal

   As already mentioned, not always reversing will be a violation of the law. If a citizen is sure that he was driving, observing the traffic rules, and the traffic police inspector does not agree with this and writes out a protocol, in no case should you refuse to sign the document.

   The employee has the right to find two witnesses who will assure him and confirm all the circumstances. It would be better to add arguments to the protocol confirming the correctness of the motorist and sign it.

   Within 10 days after receiving a decision on an administrative violation, from a traffic inspector or by mail, a citizen has the right to challenge it. Moreover, a complaint can be submitted to the traffic police to the employee who wrote the protocol.

   He, in turn, will have to transfer it to his immediate superior. Also, a paper of disagreement can be sent immediately to a higher manager.

   And the third way, which is the most reliable, is to go to court. There, the situation will be considered objectively, without taking into account the subjective arguments of the inspector.

   The complaint must include:

   • name of the organization and full name of the official to whom the document is submitted;
   • personal data and details of the motorist;
   • detail the circumstances, you can attach a maneuver scheme, explain the reasons for disagreeing with the actions of the traffic police officer;
   • confirm your words with documents, photographs, video recordings, testimonies of witnesses;
   • sign and date the petition.

   If the driver provides an impressive evidence base, the court will take his side. Without documentary evidence, the challenge should not be started. It will be doomed to failure.

   Based on the results of the investigation, the decision can be canceled due to the absence of an offense or sent for review due to lack of evidence on both sides.

   The punishment may also be mitigated. For example, if the driver fully admits his guilt for reversing under a prohibition sign, then instead of confiscation of his rights, he will be ordered to pay a fine.

   A car enthusiast who has committed a traffic accident while driving back will be denied with one hundred percent probability when appealing against the punishment. He will almost always be found guilty, as he did not follow the safety rules when moving.

   By the way, in some cases, the insurance company may refuse to pay for OSAGO, and the culprit will have to repair the damaged car on their own.

   Driving a vehicle in reverse is a maneuver of increased danger. When it is executed, there is a high probability of a collision with a pedestrian or a collision with another car.

   Therefore, in places where it is allowed, you should be extremely careful. And if visibility is limited, it is better not to resort to this action or use the help of a third party.

   The first car has passed the entrance to the yard and is moving in reverse to make the entrance in front. The second car drives out onto the road from the yard.

   Who should go first in this situation?

   Traffic rules for a car leaving the yard

   The yard is the surrounding area. Priority when leaving the adjacent territory is defined in clause 8.3. Rules of the road.

   The requirement to give way is set out in the section of terms and definitions of traffic rules.

   If the first car continues to move, it will force the second car to change speed or direction. The “Give way” requirement will not be fulfilled.

   While the question is open, does the “Give way” requirement apply to a car that is reversing and does it have an advantage?

   Traffic rules for reversing

   Reversing must be carried out in accordance with paragraph 8.12 of the Rules.

   Reversing past the exit from the adjacent territory is not prohibited. Does a car moving in reverse have an advantage?

   From paragraph 8.12 we see that certain conditions must be met in order to start moving backward. Otherwise, reversing is prohibited.

   "Give way" vs. "Won't interfere"

   • "Give way (do not interfere)" - term, “will not cause interference” in the context of 8.12 - ;
   • "Danger to traffic" - term, safe maneuver - general condition in the literal sense.

   The rules of the road are based on the Convention on Road Traffic. When there are doubts about the interpretation, one can always refer to the "superior" document.

   As you can see, there is no connection with the terms that determine the priority when crossing trajectories.

   In this situation no question of priority, that is, when one car has an advantage, the other has a requirement to give way. Here the question is allowed or not, in principle, the movement of the car in reverse.

   Reversing no way should not interfere with other road users.

   When driving in urban traffic jams, very often drivers use forbidding maneuvers and drive the car in reverse. But in most situations, driving in this way is not allowed. How, then, to use this maneuver without violating the rules?

   Where can you move backwards?

   Having passed the necessary turn on the road, or simply not noticing it, motorists do not always follow to the turn in order to go back and repeat the maneuver. Often, having passed back, they get to the right place, thereby saving their time. But not on all sections of the road, such a ride is permissible.

   A number of conditions have been determined under which the rules of reversing will not be violated. It is permissible to perform such maneuvering on the streets with a one-way direction.

   But first, the driver of the vehicle must make sure that such a ride does not entail the creation of situations that impede the movement of other road users. Also, it is necessary to make sure that there are no foreign objects behind.

   When performing such a maneuver, the motorist is required to give way to pedestrians and all vehicles. At the same time, other vehicles must be at a considerable distance so that they do not have to slow down or change their direction of movement.

   When leaving a parking space, such maneuvers are usually performed with limited visibility due to vehicles standing nearby. Therefore, you need to move at a minimum speed so that, due to the occurrence of interference, you have time to react without resorting to emergency braking. It is good if, in such situations, it is possible to use the help of a person who can regulate the traffic moving backwards, and give appropriate signs.

   It should be remembered:

   When reversing, in order to avoid an emergency, it is best to use a sound signal, this will allow oncoming vehicles, if necessary, to react to the situation.

   Any haste or uncontrolled actions when making such a maneuver can cause a traffic accident.

   Is there a penalty for reversing?

   

   First of all, you need to understand that a car moving in reverse provokes dangerous situations on the roads. Hence the ban on driving in this way. If such movement takes place at intersections, or at a pedestrian crossing or in a tunnel, it is absolutely clear that it can cause a serious accident. And the culprit, in any case, will be the driver of the car, which was moving against the general flow. Therefore, sometimes it is better to lose extra time to perform a turn than to deal with the consequences of getting into an unpleasant situation later.

   Legislation for 2017 provides for a fine for driving in reverse. The amount will depend on the severity of the violation. In the event of an offense committed on the highway, the car owner may be fined 2,500 rubles.

   The smaller amount of the monetary penalty will be, in the implementation of the movement, which is directed towards oncoming cars, and committed on the side of the road. In this case, the fine will be 500 rubles.

   prohibition signs

   In traffic rules, reversing is prohibited by the road sign "Entry is prohibited." When it is established, it implies a ban on auto entry to a given section of the road. It does not apply only to public vehicles. If the rules are violated, and an entry into the territory with the presence of this sign was made, deprivation of rights up to six months is expected, or a monetary penalty in the amount of 5000 rubles.

   When moving a car along a lane intended for public transport, a fine of 1,500 rubles will be imposed on the driver, and if we are talking about Moscow or St. Petersburg, then the amount of the penalty will be 3,000 rubles.

   In the event that reversing was carried out under a sign prohibiting entry, the driver of the car will be fined in the amount of 500 rubles. The rules do not provide for deprivation of rights for such a maneuver.

   In addition, the driver can be fined for driving under the “Movement is prohibited” sign, which indicates the prohibition of movement in both directions. In this case, the car owner will have to pay 500 r. as a compensation.

   How to avoid an accident?

   

   It is worth remembering the basic rules:

   • You should never reverse if the vehicle in front starts moving in reverse. In the event of such a situation, it is necessary to use sound signals that will warn the violating car of the danger.
   • If such a maneuver is carried out, you should always take turns looking at the rear-view mirrors, controlling the situation.
   • When making a movement, thus, in the parking lot, special attention should be paid to cars that are not only in front or behind, but also located on the left and right.

   In traffic rules, this maneuver is the most dangerous for drivers. Since, in the event of an accident, the driver who maneuvers against the general flow will be recognized as the culprit, with the exclusion of other aggravating causes for other participants in the accident.
