Penalty for crossing, hitting and overtaking across a solid line

Solid is a continuous strip used in road markings. The main task of a continuous contour is to divide a section of the highway into fragments, defining the boundaries of vehicle traffic.

Continuous is a serious convention of road markings that defines a number of violations and penalties for them: not only can you not cross a continuous marking, but running into it means violating traffic rules and receiving a fine.

However, if penalties are illegal, then you can try to defend your rights. To avoid fines, you should be well versed in Russian legislation, traffic regulations and issues related specifically to solid lines. This material will benefit every driver, because we talk not only about the types and forms of penalties, but also describe effective ways to help mitigate or cancel the punishment.

What happens if you drive over a solid line?

In most cases, hitting a solid road occurs at turns, intersections, and small rural roads. Traffic rules state: it is prohibited to drive over the SL; each driver must keep the car within its lane.

If the inspector stands his ground and decisively plans to fine you, then the degree of seriousness of the traffic violation plays a particularly important role in determining how much the fine will be. The judicial system considers each individual case separately.

If the line on the roadway does not have a gap (is not dotted), then hitting it is an offense. The only exception is parking markings.

If the driver decides to independently understand the intricacies of hitting a solid line, then you should remember:

each incident is unique and specific, everything is taken into account - other cars, weather conditions, road conditions;
knowledge of the laws is priceless, however, manipulating articles of administrative legislation in order to justify oneself being guilty is an almost useless undertaking;

With the help of some legal tricks, you can try to reduce the fine (for driving one wheel onto a solid line) to just 1.5 thousand rubles.
However, you need to remember that car owners rarely win in court cases, so hiring a professional lawyer is one of the best decisions.

How to behave if you are stopped by traffic police

Correct actions at the place where the protocol is drawn up affect the amount of the fine that is imposed, and even help to avoid it. It is best to call a lawyer or get his advice over the phone, but there are a number of points that every driver should remember.

Rules of conduct with a traffic police inspector:

you need to write down the employee’s details - he must present his documents;
the inspector should explain the reasons for performing the maneuver that led to the violation, if any;
it is important to study the information specified in the protocol, point out missing points or what the driver does not agree with;
It is recommended to film or take a photo of the situation so that you can prove the influence of additional circumstances on the situation;
in a special column you should describe in detail your vision of the situation.

Within 10 days from the moment the traffic police inspector makes a decision, a citizen can appeal it in court or contact the employee’s superiors. If the driver can prove that the violation was the result of the actions of others or a combination of circumstances, he has a chance to avoid punishment or have it mitigated. In a situation where the preparation of the protocol was accompanied by provocations or other violations on the part of the inspector, you should contact law enforcement agencies. The main thing is to take care of collecting evidence that will confirm these accusations.

Types of solid lines and subtleties of traffic rules

We will try to display the legislative norms in the form of the most popular and important questions and answers, which will be useful not only to those drivers who, driving along a serpentine road, accidentally crossed the left lane, but to all drivers in general.

Solid lines (hereinafter we will sometimes use the abbreviation SL) exist in the following four types:

Type 1.2.1. – located outside the highway.
Type 1.1. – is located in the middle and serves as a delimiter for two opposite directions of the highway.
Type 1.11. – located on the route and serves to separate both different and identical directions; located where you can only change lanes from one lane.

For a collision there is a fine of 5 thousand rubles. or confiscation of rights for 4-6 months.

Hitting a solid road with one wheel, the fine (which is very difficult to prove to a traffic police officer, but is possible thanks to video from cameras), corresponds to a similar amount - 5 thousand rubles. or confiscation of rights for 4-6 months.

Is it allowed to cross the SL?

line type 1.1., according to traffic rules, cannot be crossed;
solid 1.2.1 is allowed to start moving or stop (allowed only if, according to traffic regulations, parking is allowed);
a line like 1.11 is allowed to be crossed, but only from the side of the dotted contour.

Despite the variety of rules and types of SL, running into them is strictly prohibited.
Any kind of hitting a marking of this type is perceived by workers as creating a precedent on the road that violates the general safety of vehicle movement. In matters related to difficulties on serpentines, turns at intersections through continuous markings, the penalty is the same: 5,000 rubles. or confiscation of rights.

Is it permissible to turn left when exiting a lane (for example, in the case of circular cross-borders)? No, it is not allowed, because there is a collision with a solid marking line (fine - 5 thousand rubles), which means inspectors can fine you. You can only move by following the signs.

Is crossing a solid line a violation?

The situation with the intersection of a solid line is regulated by:

Part 1 Art. 12.16 of the Administrative Code. In accordance with it, failure to comply with the requirements of road markings leads to a warning or a monetary penalty in the amount of 500 rubles. But this applies to moving in a straight line, not turning around. For example, when a driver changed lanes across a solid lane;
Part 4 Art. 12.15 states that driving into the oncoming lane (which is equivalent to partially driving into a continuous lane dividing traffic when turning left) is punishable by a more significant penalty of 5 thousand rubles. or even deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for a period of 4 months. up to six months. The article is based on clause 8.6 of the traffic rules, which requires making a turn so as not to end up in oncoming traffic and not collide with other vehicles.

Let's take a closer look at several controversial situations related to movement through a solid line (or lines) of markings.

If the markup is missing

The driver is obliged to visually divide the road in half and make a turn in such a way as not to end up even partially on the left side of it. Otherwise, the traffic police representative will have the right to impose a punishment in accordance with Part 4 of Art. 12.15.

For this reason, it is better to take some extra distance before making the maneuver.

If the wheel touches

Even if part of the body ends up in oncoming traffic, the inspector may interpret this as a violation under Part 4 of Art. 12.15, that is, entering the oncoming lane. The reason lies in clause 8.6 of the Rules. Even a small part of the body can hit another car and initiate an accident, i.e. there is an offense.

What will be the punishment?

According to the Code of Administrative Offenses, the violator may face both a monetary penalty (5 thousand rubles) and confiscation of rights for a long period.

When a driver is detained, a traffic police representative draws up a protocol, then sends it to the head of his department, who is responsible for deciding on the punishment.

If the case is limited to a fine, an appropriate resolution is issued. When there are no grounds for choosing a more lenient measure, the case is sent to court, and the decision to withdraw rights is made by a judge.

The basis for imposing only a fine may be the reasons given in Art. 4.2, 4.3 of the Administrative Code (state of passion at the time of the violation, pregnancy, repentance, readiness to eliminate the consequences, etc.). The fact that the driver has no fines can also serve as a significant mitigating circumstance. Their presence, on the contrary, will testify against the motorist.

Ways to avoid fines

Are there any cases in which you can make a U-turn at roundabouts? Certainly.

Such cases include:

There is only one obstacle with the roadway.
Lack of pedestrian crossing;
Lack of solid lines in the markings.

Reverse gear must not be engaged at intersections. However, most often, only this can save the driver from accidentally hitting a solid road. As a rule, if the traffic of the cars allows, you can turn on the reverse gear, since the amount of the fine will be 10 times less - 500 rubles.

By the way, the situation with the continuous one is very similar to the traffic rules associated with tram rails. Turning through them (if permitted by signs) is allowed, however, if the tram moves in the same direction, the fine will be 500 rubles. A meeting will cost the driver more - 5,000 rubles or confiscation for 4-6 months. (absolute analogy with solid).

However, what to do if the process of overtaking through the SL has already begun? Is there a way to avoid penalties?

Yes, there are ways:

between the dotted (intermittent) and SL there will be a gap in the form of markings like 1.6. Its task is to warn the driver about the approach of continuous markings;
if the markup is 1.6. was too dim, and you simply didn’t see it, then further crossing the solid line will not be considered a violation, since there was a violation of the State Marking Standard.

A complaint that you do not agree with the inspector’s opinion, since the problem was in the quality of the markings, must be sent by you no later than 10 days from the date of drawing up the protocol.

But what to do if the markup is 1.6. was she still present? We believe that you, as a driver, did not cross the solid line for fun; there was a reason for it and you followed common sense. This means that it makes sense to refer to Article 2.7. The Code of Administrative Offenses, according to which it is permissible to resort to crossing a continuous road if in this way you tried to avoid an accident.

Overtaking a car with the corresponding entry into the oncoming lane is prohibited when:

the route contains 2-way traffic and has four, five, six or more lanes;
the route contains 2-way traffic and three lanes, in which the middle one is needed for overtaking; at the same time, it is prohibited to enter the left lane;
the section is a controlled intersection (a similar prohibition occurs at uncontrolled intersections where traffic occurs on the main part of the highway);
the site contains a pedestrian crossing or railway crossing;
traffic moves on a bridge, in a tunnel, at the end of a climb or a particularly difficult turn.

If there is a repeated violation of traffic rules, then more severe penalties will be applied to the driver.

Deadlines for payment of collection

Administrative violations are considered by the authorities and responsible persons within fifteen days, so the decision must be made within this time. If the case goes to court, the fine will be imposed within two months.

Each period can be extended, but not more than a month.

The penalty must be paid within 60 days from the date the resolution enters into force. The driver can save and pay with a 50 percent discount. He has twenty days to do this.

If payment is not made within the prescribed period, the case will be referred to the bailiffs. The resolution is submitted within ten days. The authorities will deal with the citizen only after 80 days, 60 of which are allocated for paying a fine, 10 for appealing, 10 for transmitting information.

The fine has a statute of limitations. The resolution will not be enforceable only if it has not been enforced within two years from the date of entry into force.

Subtleties of traffic rules in matters of solid lines

The continuous contour on the road is not only a feature of expressways. The line is also present on city streets and alleys.

Will the behavior of a driver be considered a gross violation if a car crosses a solid lane when leaving a residential yard? Yes, this violation is no different from any other, however, here you can much more often be guided by Article 2.7 of the Code of Administrative Offences.

A wrong turn from the yard threatens the driver with 1-1.5 thousand rubles.

What if the road markings contradict the signs? It often happens that the markings do not prohibit turning, but the signs indicate a clear prohibition. In such cases, as in any other, you should always rely on the signs.

Observations show that most provincial and rural roads do not contain markings at all; traffic rules are often regulated by signs. What will be the penalty for overtaking on such a track? Penalties will be no less severe than in the case of crossing a continuous road: 5,000 rubles. or confiscation of the certificate for 4-6 months. A similar system of fines is provided for overtaking at intersections.

There are two types of intersections where overtaking is prohibited:

Adjustable.
Unregulated and if the movement does not occur on the main road.

If overtaking is carried out at an intersection, but on the main road, then such movement is not considered a traffic violation.

Crossing a solid and double solid line marking - fines in - 2021 - year

If a road sign “Avoid obstacles” is installed or traffic is regulated by police officers or road maintenance workers (they are, by definition, traffic controllers), then there will be no violation of the Traffic Rules. As you know, in the event of a conflict, traffic controller signals have the highest priority, then road signs, and only third is road markings.

Driving, in violation of the Traffic Rules, onto a lane intended for oncoming traffic when going around an obstacle, or onto tram tracks in the opposite direction when going around an obstacle - entails the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand to one thousand five hundred rubles .

Overtaking and advancing through a continuous lane

There is only one legal way to overtake a slow car without entering oncoming traffic: the driver of the slow car must move to the right and allow himself to be overtaken on the left.

For overtaking on four-lane roads (with the intersection of SL) a fine of 500 rubles is imposed.

Let's consider cases in which the driver does not have the right to avoid obstacles:

if the detour involves hitting the trunk line;
if the detour involves going into the left lane, and the highway contains only three lanes;
if a detour involves driving in the opposite direction in front of the railway tracks (regardless of the number of lanes of the highway).

Conversely, an object is allowed to be bypassed if:

Detour means entering the turning lane.
If the detour does not imply the exit of traffic into oncoming traffic.

If the driver had a way to pass the car on the left, but he went around on the right, this is considered a serious violation, especially if such behavior on the road is recorded on video.
If the violation occurs again and the camera records it again, the fine for hitting a road will be 5,000 rubles.

There are other cases in which it is prohibited to overtake vehicles:

if the driver tries to get ahead of a car that is going around an obstacle (creating an emergency situation on the road);
if a slow car has indicated with its turning lights that it plans to make a left turn;
if the driver tries to get ahead of a vehicle at a time when another car is ahead of him;
if the driver, having completed the detour of the car, is not able to return to the same lane;
If traffic occurs in an underground tunnel, overtaking is prohibited regardless of the situation.

Each driver, one way or another, was forced to attend a driving school, where they talked a lot about what you can do on the road and what you absolutely cannot do. Moreover, in order to develop driving discipline among future drivers, teachers talked much more about prohibitions than about what was allowed. This methodology of “educating” competent drivers is reflected even in exam questions, where the main point is to make the right decision - “is it prohibited?..”.

That is why, having become drivers, we see every day how traffic rules are unceremoniously violated, it catches our eye, cars try to cross the oncoming lane and overtake at any cost. That is why, you should always remember that overtaking is a dangerous maneuver, and SL is not just a marking, but a line, having stepped over which many have chosen the tragic path of development of their lives.

Amounts of fines

To be able to challenge the actions of a police officer, motorists should carry with them a brochure with a list of situations and the types of punishment prescribed by the Code of Administrative Offences. From the table above it can be seen that crossing a solid line does not always threaten the driver with the loss of his license.

Violation	Monetary recovery
Primary	Repeated	During video recording
Avoiding traffic ahead	From 1000 to 1500 rubles
Turning and turning around prohibiting markings	From 1000 to 1500 rubles
Overtaking and all other situations	5,000 rubles or deprivation of a driver’s license for a period of 4 to 6 months	Withdrawal of rights from the violator for 1 year	5000 rub.

Difficult points in traffic rules have been clarified. If previously, for almost every collision with a marking, the inspector could apply the most severe penalties, but now for common types of violations, accompanied by crossing a continuous line, they are brought to administrative responsibility with the payment of monetary amounts.

Established periods of fines from violators

According to the Administrative Code, an important role is played not only by correctly setting the amount of the fine itself, but also by regulating the timing of its payment. Article 32.2. states that for violating traffic rules the driver must pay a fine within 2 months from the date of notification.

Failure to pay a fine for violating traffic rules means another administrative violation - deliberate evasion of paying fines.

In such cases, the measures taken are as follows:

Assigning a citizen to undergo compulsory correctional labor for up to 50 hours.
Double fine, but the total amount must be more than 1000 rubles.
Arrest for no more than 15 days.

Therefore, simple evasion from paying fines may not only not be an expression of one’s disagreement with the inspector’s decision, but also contribute to aggravating the punishment.

Is it possible to avoid responsibility?

It is impossible to answer this question unequivocally: it all depends on the situation. If a violation actually occurred, it will be difficult to prove your innocence.

Based on the previously cited judicial practice, the circumstances of the incident, the actions of the driver after being stopped by the traffic police inspector, as well as the evidence collected are of great importance.

When the reason for the violation was extreme necessity (avoiding a collision), this circumstance should be pointed out to the inspector. If you cannot convince the employee, you must write down your position in the protocol and indicate your disagreement with the violation. There is no point in refusing to sign the document: the inspector will make a corresponding note, and in court this will characterize the driver negatively.

Evidence, especially photographs and videos, is important, but eyewitness testimony is also suitable.

Depending on the offense committed, the inspector can independently make a decision or submit the protocol to the court for consideration. If a violation may result in deprivation of a driver's license, the case is always sent to court (Article 3.8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

The driver must attend all meetings and actively participate in them. When justifying your innocence, you can point to the lack of intent to commit an unlawful act, the impossibility of doing otherwise.

If you disagree with the decision of the court of first instance, you can appeal it through the appellate and cassation procedures.

Fines for violating road marking rules

Drivers are subject to penalties for violating marking rules, but the severity of the sanctions depends on the specific violation. Often, a violator is charged with several charges at once if a number of traffic rules are not observed at once.

According to traffic rules, a left turn must be made only from the leftmost lane, and a right turn - from the right. The exception is T-junctions: at them, drivers can turn left from any lane.

Is it possible to avoid punishment

How to avoid punishment or mitigate it:

The marking line is difficult to see.
This sometimes happens on Russian roads due to sparse markings. This applies to mitigating circumstances. In order for the court to recognize it as such, the car owner must present photo/video evidence.
Hitting a forbidden line with several wheels.
The fact of the intersection has not been established: we are only talking about violating the location of the car on the roadway (fine - 1.5 thousand rubles). An intersection is when a wheel pair goes beyond the double lane by at least 1 cm.
Roadside.
Will a driver always be punished for violating continuous markings on the right side of the road? Such a maneuver is prohibited by the administrative code. However, an exception is the situation when a car stops on the side of the road for the purpose of temporary parking in the absence of prohibitory signs and special markings, or after parking it drives out onto the road with the intention of moving on.
Overtaking.
This maneuver is only permissible on the yellow (temporary) marking line. Usually it is applied when there is an insurmountable obstacle on the road (repair work, an accident or a stalled car).
When driving around an obstacle, the car owner makes a U-turn through a solid line.
This often happens when a driver tries to overcome a collision with an insurmountable obstacle (a suddenly stalled vehicle in front, a fallen tree). In this case, the person is not deprived of his rights, but receives a fine of up to 1.5 thousand rubles.

Why is overtaking prohibited? This happens when a certain road section is recognized by the traffic police as “dangerous” due to the frequent occurrence of accidents on it, as well as due to the limited horizons (for example, a winding road) of motorists moving ahead. Violation of traffic rules leads to a potentially emergency situation. Such circumstances force the government to tighten penalties.

Punishment for non-payment of fine

The official website of the traffic police contains complete information on this issue. The following types of liability are provided:

Mandatory corrective labor: 50 hours.
Double fines.
Temporary detention for 15 days.

Video about crossing a solid line

Overtaking while crossing solid markings is one of the most dangerous maneuvers that thousands of motorists practice every day, risking getting into an accident and injuring other road users. In most cases, such actions are punishable by deprivation of a driver's license.

In matters related to difficulties on serpentines, turns at intersections through continuous markings, the penalty is the same: 5,000 rubles. or confiscation of rights.

Are there any cases in which you can make a U-turn at roundabouts? Certainly.

How to challenge a solid claim in court

Often the driver has to prove his position in court, independently resist bureaucracy in order to maintain his driving license or challenge a fine. This will require a lot of effort and emotions, time and knowledge, because the presumption of innocence does not work in this case; the traffic police officer is believed a priori.

The driver goes to court with hope:

reclassify the article to a lighter option, when it is not supposed to be the withdrawal of rights, but a fine;
prove that the collision with a solid road was unintentional, or it did not happen at all.

To challenge a case in court, you must:

seek the services of an auto lawyer, if your knowledge base is not enough, the lawyer will control all the timing, form and essence of filing applications, petitions, appeals;
analyze the traffic pattern of this place, take into account conditions, signs, markings and their condition;
make inquiries, if necessary, whether markings are applied and signs are installed in accordance with GOST;
correctly and competently compose a defense speech, taking into account all the details of what happened;
invite witnesses, show photos and videos that will confirm the driver’s words;
note all the inaccuracies in the words of the inspector and the protocol.

Naturally, when a driver goes to court to prove his innocence, he must, firstly, be well versed in traffic rules and road situations, and secondly, be absolutely sure that he did not violate the clause that he is charged with.

Penalty for crossing a double solid line

on bridges and inside tunnels;

in conditions of poor (limited) visibility;

at the crossroads;
if there are obstacles to traffic in the form of cars maneuvering in front of your car;
when it will be impossible to return to your lane (this also applies to the dividing strip - it is easy to lose your license in such a situation, because you will not be able to miss a traffic police patrol car driving along this lane behind you).

do not sign the resolution and do not pick up the payment receipt;
ask for a protocol to be drawn up and carefully monitor its completion;
write down the patrolman's badge number, rank, car number, full name;
It is always useful to record the circumstances with a DVR.

Markup functions

Despite the fact that every driver almost all the time encounters road markings on the roadway, unfortunately, not everyone understands what they mean. For example, many drivers do not know that the broken line comes in several types, namely, with the same short lines and with gradually lengthening ones. In the first situation it is 1.5, and in the second it is 1.6, it warns of the imminent appearance of a “solid” one.

Although many drivers either do not attach importance to this, or believe that road services accidentally or inadvertently draw uneven marking lines, not realizing that this is a completely different type of stripe that carries a certain meaning.

And this is not an isolated case. It gets to the point that some drivers seriously claim that the fine for crossing a double solid line marking is twice as high as for violating a single solid line. Which, of course, is not true.

However, each type of road marking has its own specific functions. They are associated, as a rule, with a prohibition or permission to perform any actions or maneuvers, for example, overtaking, turning, turning around, changing lanes, stopping.

Fines and sanctions for crossing a continuous strip of road markings according to traffic rules for 2021

The intersection of a solid marking line is recorded automatically by photo and video cameras. The practice of using these means to monitor compliance with traffic rules on the road was introduced in 2021. We are talking about the following types of fixation.

Single is designed to divide the roadway into two parts, where movement occurs in opposite directions. Apply using yellow or white paint.
The double serves the same purpose, but there will be multiple lanes in each direction on the right and left sides. White or yellow paint is also used to apply it.
Temporary solid paint is applied in orange while the road surface is being repaired.
Permanent is applied in yellow or white.

Types of fine

The specific type of violation determines the degree of administrative liability for the driver. The cases considered are shown in the table:

According to Russian legislation, a traffic police officer does not have the right to confiscate driving licenses at the scene of an offense: the car owner himself must hand them over when the appropriate court decision is made.

IMPORTANT!

If the driver has committed an offense of crossing double markings in the same direction for the first time, he will only be charged with a fine.

An unambiguous deprivation of rights is applied in the event of an additional trip into oncoming traffic during the maneuver. A second similar offense within a year will result in loss of driving privileges for 12 months.

An offense can be detected using 2 options:

Application of technical equipment: photo/video recording. In this case, the driver may not be aware of the recorded traffic violation. A receipt for payment of the fine and a notice will be sent to him by mail. The maximum penalty (deprivation of rights) is not imposed in such a situation.
Traffic police officer. The violation is recorded in the protocol by a law enforcement officer. The payment receipt indicates the amount of the fine and is given to the driver on the spot.

The driver has 10 days to appeal the penalty immediately after it is issued. This is only possible upon presentation of evidence of legal crossing of the double line.

When turning left, crossed a continuous line or drove into oncoming traffic - deprivation or fine

What then remains? Is there a continuous fine for crossing? Not at all. Since, according to GOST, markings cannot be applied in this way, it is natural that there is no provision for attracting a driver to a fine here.

Crossing a solid line, including a double line, does not always result in a traffic violation. But the latter, as of 2021, clearly interpret that when leaving an intersection you cannot be in the oncoming lane.
