It seems it can be dangerous to back up – the speed is slow, the driver is collected and more vigilant than ever. And yet backing up in a vehicle is very dangerous. In addition, you can sometimes be fined for this, or even lose the right to drive a car altogether.
Reversing is a common, but also very dangerous maneuver. While driving, due to the driver’s inattention or inexperience or faults in the road, a collision with a pedestrian or an accident with another vehicle can occur. Yes, and you need to know under what conditions you are allowed to reverse, and when a fine is imposed, or even deprivation of “rights”.
It is worth recalling that clause 8.12 of the SDA of the Russian Federation allows reversing if there is no interference with other road users. The maneuver will be safe for both the driver and those around him. To put it more precisely, rolling backwards, for example at an intersection, is unfortunately not possible. At the same time, the rules separate exit intersections from areas next to the road, which are not considered intersections – here you can reverse as much as you want, provided you do not hinder anyone.
But remember that whoever backed up and had or caused an accident will be declared the loser and he will have to clean up all the financial losses of the participants in the accident. If in general you are not confident in the quality of your maneuver or in general in your abilities, it is better to either ask someone to help you, or drop this idea altogether.
Reversing can also lead to fines from the punitive authorities. For example, it is forbidden to reverse at pedestrian crossings (a fine of 500 rubles), in tunnels, on viaducts and under them, viaducts and bridges. It is not allowed to reverse on highways (2500 rubles fine), in places where shuttle buses stop (500 rubles fine), as well as where the view of the road in one direction does not exceed 100 meters. Moreover, it is forbidden to roll backwards on railway crossings.
But drivers are quite capable of backing up on one-way streets. And “traffic cops” have no right to impose penalties on such motorists. Especially in connection with the deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle. That is true, until the driver has reached the intersection or other prohibited place where reversing is prohibited. You also can not reverse under a brick – for this, of course, the driver will not go under a firing squad, but will be subject to a fine of 5,000 rubles, or even deprivation of “rights” for up to 6 months .
And if you decide to outsmart everyone and drive backwards along the side of the road, try to avoid the traffic jam, and when you meet the inspector, make sure you get a fine for driving to the side of the road – 1,500 rubles, and if it is a sidewalk – 2,000 rubles.
In general, when reversing, you have to think carefully, look around you and know where you are allowed to reverse and where you have to account for it.
