Few motorists know that the traffic rules allow you to reverse under certain conditions. However, this does not mean that such a maneuver can be performed anywhere and at any time. The AvtoVzglyad portal will tell you how not to get a fine for reversing.
If someone did not know, but also forgot on the way, we remember: according to the traffic rules, reversing a vehicle is allowed, provided that the maneuver is safe and does not hinder other road users, including pedestrians. But this does not mean at all that with the “emergency gang” turned on, you can roll backwards everywhere.
First of all, the Regulations prohibit such a maneuver at intersections, pedestrian crossings, stops of shuttle buses and other public transport, as well as on bridges, viaducts and overpasses. In addition, it is not allowed to reverse at a level crossing, in a tunnel and on sections where the visibility of the roadway in at least one of the directions is limited to a distance of 100 meters. However, that’s not all.
Reversing is also a taboo on the highways. Although the SDA says nothing about one-way traffic. More precisely, it is said, but indirectly. For example, driving in the opposite direction on a one-way street is punishable by a fine of 5,000 rubles or deprivation of “rights” for a period of four to six months. What is written in Russian in white in art. 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
Many motorists will probably say that in this case we are talking about driving on an oncoming lane, but you can reverse on a similar segment. Well, give it a try. But it is unlikely that you will later prove to the traffic cop that you were not driving in the opposite direction and handed over the back of your car on a one-way street. Moreover, in such areas there may certainly be intersections where, as already mentioned, such maneuvers are strictly prohibited. Even the Supreme Court once clarified such actions by only “allowing” drivers to reverse when necessary to avoid or park an obstacle.
As for the cunning people who decided to reverse the “emergency gang” under the “brick”, then there are no concessions at all. The fine for such a joke that causes an emergency on the road is from 1,500 to 3,000 rubles. In general, “turning on the back” is a thankless task.
