Reversing against the exit from the adjacent territory. Reversing - where prohibited and permitted, traffic rules fines Reversing at a pedestrian crossing

Good afternoon, dear reader.

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

So, reversing is allowed only if it is will not interfere with others vehicles, motorcycles, pedestrians and other road users.

A very simple conclusion can be drawn from this point. If in the process of moving backwards the car turned out to be a participant in a traffic accident, then the driver who violated the requirements of paragraph 8.12 is the culprit of the accident.

Naturally, in the event of a collision, you should not immediately give up. Try to find violations in the actions of the other driver.

However, the violation of the second participant does not relieve the responsibility of the driver who was driving backwards.

In the event of a difficult traffic situation, paragraph 8.12 suggests using help of others, which can be both passengers of the car and those passing by. At the same time, no comments are given regarding the use of the help of other persons.

In practice, you can ask a pedestrian to make sure that when reversing, the car does not hit other cars or other obstacles. In addition, your assistant can give a gesture to approaching cars and they will not interfere with the completion of the maneuver.

However, keep in mind that seeking help from others does not release the driver from the obligation not to interfere with other vehicles.

Where is it forbidden to drive in reverse in 2020?

Paragraphs 8.12 and 16.1 of the SDA list situations in which it is prohibited to reverse:

• on the ;
• on the ;
• in tunnels;
• on bridges, viaducts, overpasses and under them;
• on the ;
• in places where the visibility of the road in at least one direction is less than 100 m;
• at the stops of route vehicles;
• on motorways.

In all of these cases, moving in the opposite direction can create an emergency situation.

Please note that the maneuver is not prohibited on one-way roads, however, it is possible to perform it only until an intersection, tunnel, bridge or other structure from the above list appears in the car's path.

Reversing ticket

The amount of the fine depends on the place where the offense was committed. When driving in the opposite direction on the motorway, the amount of the fine will be 2 500 rubles(CoAP).

In all other cases, the fine will be 500 rubles(CoAP).

Accident while driving in reverse

Consider the popular traffic accidents when reversing:

A collision may occur if the driver of the parked vehicle is not using the rear-view mirrors (eg using only the right mirror instead of all three). Most often, an accident occurs between a car parallel parking (orange) and a car that "supported" it from behind (green). However, more exotic situations are also possible.

For example, the driver of a green car may become frightened of a parked car, reverse quickly, and crash into a red car that has driven up behind him. A few years ago I happened to see a similar accident in practice, so the situation is not fictional.

Please note that if the green and red cars collide, the parallel parking driver is not involved in the accident and there will be no damaged cars. The driver of the green car will pay for the repairs.

2. Reversing in the parking area of ​​a supermarket or car park.

Such accidents happen with enviable regularity near all major stores. The cause of the accident, as in the previous case, is the inattention of the driver of the orange car, which is reversing.

How to prevent an accident?

1. If a car is moving towards you in reverse, then in no case do not turn on the reverse gear. Use sound signal. Any adequate driver, having heard a sound signal, will stop moving.

Unfortunately, in practice, you can meet drivers who do not understand the meaning of the sound signal and do not react to it in any way. Just keep in mind that if the car continues to move, it's best to pull away from the deaf driver. In this case, you should only move forward. Engaging reverse gear can make you the culprit of an accident.

And in any case, do not forget about the sound signal. Even if the driver does not react to it, you will at least attract the attention of witnesses who will help prove your innocence in the future.

2. If you hear a beep when driving in the opposite direction, then as soon as possible stop the car. It is better to stay for a couple of minutes, get out of your car and look around, than crash into someone else's car and spend a lot of time on paperwork about an accident and resolving issues with an insurance company and a car service.

3. Use all rear view mirrors(right, left, salon), look at them in turn.

4. When driving between parking lanes, carefully watch the cars left and right. Please note that you should also keep an eye on neighboring cars if you are stopped in a parking lot. For example, if you give way to vehicles that have the right of way.

The fact is that another car can start moving without first looking in the rear-view mirrors. You can track the maneuvers of other cars only by turning your head. Naturally, you should not pay attention to cars that are not driven by anyone.

5. Use reverse gear only when you do not hurry. In relation to parking at a store, this means that the best solution is to calmly put the car back into the parking space before going to the store, and after visiting the store, drive out in front.

Accidents, as a rule, occur precisely when leaving the parking lot, when the driver is in a hurry to go home or on business. Therefore, such a situation should be excluded.

Let's summarize. Reversing is the most dangerous maneuver for the driver. The fine for reversing is not large, but the driver of a car driving in reverse will be held responsible for any accident.

And finally, I propose to watch the video of the accident, the cause of which was the carelessness of the driver:

Good luck on the roads!

:!: 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.

Dmitry-5

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 onto the main road of the Gazelle, it is necessary to overcome a slight rise, respectively, the gazelle 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.

Eugene-29

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.

Tell me please!

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 day! I earnestly ask you to cancel the said decision or mitigate liability (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, avoiding an accident, had to break the continuous marking line, driving into another lane of the same direction.

Dmitriy 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 avenue, 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, only 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, I 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.

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 paragraph 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, or a monetary penalty in the amount of 5000 rubles is expected.

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 may 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, it is the driver who maneuvers against the general flow that will be recognized as the culprit, with the exclusion of other aggravating causes for other participants in the accident.

Reversing- this is a maneuver, the implementation of which requires one hundred percent concentration of the driver's attention. And in some cases, even the additional attention of another person is required, for example, in low visibility conditions. There are a huge number of nuances and restrictions for this type of movement, but, unfortunately, sometimes the situation develops in such a way that reversing simply cannot be avoided. In this regard, it is recommended to keep in mind the rules of the road and possible penalties for their violation.

Reversing on a one-way road

For a long time, such manipulations were considered by law enforcement agencies as an action equal to driving into the oncoming lane with all the ensuing consequences. But lately, there have been some concessions.

Recently, a decision was made to allow reverse movement, but with certain reservations. According to clause 8.12 of the SDA, it is allowed to reverse on a one-way road provided:

• It is safe for all road users;
• It is required to move in this way due to forced necessity (for example, in the event of an obstacle on the road that cannot be bypassed otherwise or when performing a parking maneuver);
• In case of poor visibility and insufficient visibility, the driver must find an assistant who, standing on the street, will regulate the movement of the car, thereby protecting all road users.

At the crossroads

On these sections of the road, drive a car using reverse speed, is strictly prohibited! It does not matter if the intersection is regulated or not, whether the roads on it are equivalent or the driver is moving along the main road. It also does not matter at all how many lanes at the intersection or how many other road users are currently surrounding the car.

Is it allowed on the motorway?

A motorway is a type of road on which cars move, as a rule, at the maximum permitted speed, in some sections it reaches 130 km / h. Often these roads are quite busy. Given both of these factors, you need to understand that turning on reverse gear in such a place can be extremely dangerous for the lives of several road users at once. Naturally, at the official level of traffic rules categorically forbid such a maneuver on the highway.

What if it's in the yard?

The courtyards of large cities have recently been simply crowded with cars and, starting from 5 pm and until nightfall, there are real battles, first for finding a parking space, and then for the right to take it.

Often you see drivers who can't pass in a narrow lane or who can't squeeze into a small parking space the first time. They have to turn back several times to perform such configurations.

In fact, there is no direct decree indicating the prohibition of reversing in the courtyard area, and given the real situation near the houses, it was impossible to comply with it. But the concentration of attention during such maneuvers in this area should be simply prohibitive. Since, as a rule, visibility and room for maneuver are limited here, there are more pedestrians and, most importantly, the risk of meeting children is increased here.

ATTENTION!
When reversing in the yard area, the driver is in an increased risk zone, therefore it is strongly recommended to resort to the help of acquaintances / passengers or even just passers-by for such maneuvers, for personal safety and the safety of possible oncoming traffic participants.

Where is it forbidden to drive in reverse?

In order not to analyze each individual case, it is necessary to fix in memory those sections of the road where the rules prohibit driving a car when using reverse speed. Among them:

• At intersections of all kinds;
• In tunnels and overpasses;
• On overpasses and bridges;
• On, regulated and not regulated;
• On highways, highways;
• On all types of railway crossings;
• At public transport stops marked with appropriate signs;
• On any stretch of road with visibility less than 100 meters;
• In all places where U-turn is prohibited.

Where is it allowed?

Of course, with extreme caution and 100% attention, reversing is permitted under the following circumstances:

On those sections of roads that are not listed above and subject to good visibility, as well as the obligatory condition that the driver will not interfere with other road users.

What is the penalty?

When turning on reverse gear in places prohibited for this, be prepared to pay a fine of 500 rubles, in accordance with Article 12.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. If such a violation of the rule is committed on the motorway, the amount of the fine increases by 5 times!

ATTENTION!
When reversing on a motorway, the fine is 2,500 rubles in accordance with Article 12.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.

Responsibility for the accident

In most cases, the driver who turned on the reverse speed is recognized as the culprit of the accident, and in which one of the participants was moving in reverse. But there are also cases when another participant in the movement is to blame, who, for example, exceeded the speed limit. In order to avoid such situations, it is best to ask for the help of passengers or bystanders for the safe implementation of the maneuver.

If, nevertheless, the fault of the driver moving backward is proved, then he is expected:

• A fine of 2500 rubles;
• Payment covering the restoration of all damage to the car received by other road users during this accident;
• Deprivation of rights for a period determined by a court decision;
• Initiation of a criminal case and criminal liability in case of causing physical harm to the health of road users during this accident.

Who is at fault in a collision with a car in a parking lot or collision with a pedestrian while reversing

Considering the well-known fact that the pedestrian is always right, as well as the fact that the driver has the last priority when reversing, when colliding with another car in a parking lot or when hitting a pedestrian,

Either way, it's the driver's fault. moving backward vehicle. In the event that such an incident nevertheless occurred, you need to act as follows:

• Assess the situation - if no one was seriously injured and the pedestrian has no complaints against you, then you can limit yourself to apologies. And it is important to wait for the driver of the affected car in order to resolve the issue with him by means of the Euro-protocol.
• In case of serious injury to a pedestrian or severe damage to the second car, it is necessary to call the traffic police and an ambulance. If possible, provide first aid to the victim.

Well, it is natural to conclude that you should be more careful while driving and, if necessary, do not hesitate to use the help of other people.

MAIN!
Never hesitate to resort to the help of even people just passing by your car (if there were no passengers in your car) to protect yourself and other road users when turning on the reverse gear!

How to prove innocence in an accident if your car was driven into the road while reversing

In such an unpleasant situation, which can still happen when following a busy road, the first thing you need to do is not get confused, but do a number of simple steps:

• Firstly, it is best to find someone who can confirm your innocence, exchange contact information with him and enlist his support. It can be drivers and passengers of neighboring cars or pedestrians.
• If your car has a DVR, you need to save files with a record of the moment of the collision, they can later be attached to the case file;
• Look around carefully. Perhaps in the immediate environment are installed CCTV Cameras on buildings adjacent to the road, it is likely that they could also record this incident;
• Do not exclude the decency of the driver, the culprit of the accident. There is a chance that he himself admits that he was wrong.

Driving a car is always associated with a high level of risk, and complex manoeuvres, such as reversing, for example, increase this risk significantly. In this regard, it is recommended to resort to such a movement only in exceptional cases and always use the help of third parties.

Useful video

Here you can find out about the rules of driving in reverse:

There is an anecdote: one of the representatives of the peoples of the North bought himself a new car. A few days later, he is asked if he likes to ride the new "iron horse". He replies: “I really like going to work, but not back.” They ask him what is the matter. To which he replies: “The car has already 5 gears forward, and only one back!”

This anecdote has long been called "bearded". But even if we assume that this is true, then such a driver did not have any difficulties when driving in reverse just because the mileage traveled is decent enough. And how many kilometers did you drive in reverse? Surely, this figure is very small when compared with the usual movement. What prevents drivers from driving in reverse as easily as in front? Perhaps lack of experience or simply inability. To easily perform such maneuvers, you need to drive about 1 - 3 km, after which you can easily park the car in reverse.

Driving in reverse on mirrors

Any skill requires constant practice. Before you start driving on busy city roads, you need to learn how to drive well in reverse. First you need to learn how to drive in this way in a straight line, without looking at the mirrors. To do this, turn your head back and look over your right shoulder. It must be remembered that the car will go straight only if you set the steering wheel in the right position. Even if you move the steering wheel minimally, the wheels will deviate in different directions, taking the car in different directions. That is why you need to move at minimum speed.

After that, you can learn to drive on the mirrors. First you need to adjust the position of each rear-view mirror. Side mirrors should show you the minimum of the car itself and the maximum of the space around the car. In the center mirror you should see the full reflection of the rear window. The most ideal adjustment option is if the driver can look into the mirrors without turning or leaning. You should see everything only by shifting your gaze. Unfortunately, not every car can have mirrors weighted. Therefore, small turns of the head are quite acceptable.

Almost every car that is not equipped with special cameras has a so-called "dead zone". It is this area that the driver cannot control in any way through the use of mirrors. To drive really safe, you need to know exactly where these zones are on your car. To do this, the driver must get behind the wheel and look in the mirrors, while the assistant must go around the car at this time. Those areas where the other person is not visible will be "dead". You need to control these zones yourself by turning your head without using mirrors.

Beginning drivers should definitely learn how to drive in reverse without using mirrors. Indeed, in many countries it is generally forbidden to reverse on mirrors. The main principle is to keep the steering wheel straight, feel it like your own hands. Then any maneuvers will be within your power.

Learning to make turns

Of course, driving in reverse in a straight line is a useful skill, but you also need to be able to turn with this method of driving. You need to learn this only after you have fully mastered the rectilinear movement in reverse. The most important thing in this matter is not to confuse in which direction you need to turn the steering wheel. If you turn around, the sides feel like they will switch places. But the steering mechanism does not change. If you turn right, then the car will go there, only backwards. In order to get rid of this false feeling, you need to practice.

In order to confidently drive a car in reverse, you need to “fix” all movements in the subconscious. You don't have to think about which way to turn the steering wheel to turn left or right, your hands should work automatically. Therefore, you need to learn at minimum speeds. It is extremely important to learn how to process information without hesitation.

If you feel that you are starting to get confused, then you need to stop immediately. This phenomenon is quite normal - your brain will try to understand what is happening, it just needs help. Sit up straight, take a breath and analyze your mistakes. Evaluate, comprehend and "digest" the situation. Only then can you make another attempt.

First you need to master the turns in reverse, and you need to control the maneuver through the rear window, that is, turning your head to the right. So, we perform a direct turn. Once the rear of the car is pointing in the right direction, turn the steering wheel so it is straight. This will keep you moving in a straight line. If necessary, the steering wheel can be tucked a little.

Once you have mastered this, you can practice reversing turns using the rear view mirrors. The speed must first be the lowest. One last note - when you turn, carefully look at the front fenders. They can move a lot to the side.

Important nuances

It is clear that with such movement it is necessary to comply with traffic rules. According to the rules, you can not drive in reverse on the roadway. It is allowed to drive on a road with a one-way direction of the traffic flow, provided that it is impossible to drive to the desired object in any other way. At the same time, the driver must be as attentive as possible, not create dangerous situations and must not create obstacles for other cars. You can not move in reverse at a time when the car behind maneuvers. Regarding the speed of movement, there are no specific figures in the traffic rules, but it is clear that the speedometer readings should be minimal.

The best option is to turn on the "emergency gang" while driving in reverse. So you will attract the attention of other drivers even at night, without creating an emergency and without incurring the wrath of law enforcement officers. You can not perform such maneuvers in places where it is forbidden to turn the car.

The Rules describe a number of places where reverse driving is prohibited: motorways, roads with two directions, railway crossings, pedestrian crossings, bridges, overpasses, flyovers, intersections, public transport stops, tunnels along with entrances and exits from them. Also, maneuvers are prohibited in conditions of insufficient visibility. If there is no special need, then it is better to drive straight in thick fog, heavy rain, and so on. Be careful when reversing from parking lots, courtyards of houses. Law enforcers claim that it is in these places that a large number of accidents occur due to the inattention of those drivers who make a maneuver.

Another aspect that needs attention is the adjustment of the rearview and side mirrors. Side mirrors must be turned and tilted at such an angle that they reflect no more than 20% of the body of the car. The remaining 80% should take up free space so that you can see the situation to the side and behind the car, and the horizon line should lie approximately in the center of the mirror. In the rearview mirror, you should see the entire rear of the glass car. But still, it is simply impossible to trust mirrors 100%. This is especially true for those machines in which not an ordinary straight mirror is installed, but a curved and large one.

Such mirrors are placed so that the driver does not turn his head once again. But such a mirror has one big drawback - they distort the real distance. In it, the driver will not be able to realistically assess the distance that can be driven in reverse. Therefore, a person still needs to turn the body and look back, while grabbing the headrest of the passenger seat from behind.

If you do this, the driver will get a greater overview and more information than if he looks in the mirror. If the driver is experienced, then he already knows how to rely on the reflection in the mirror, but a beginner will not be able to do this due to lack of experience. In addition, you need to look at the left, right, and salon mirrors, after which all these pieces of information need to be combined into a big picture. It is definitely difficult. Therefore, it is better to learn how to turn back in order to assess situations through the rear and side windows.

Don't forget to watch the front wheels! This is a very common mistake. It allows a large percentage of beginners. They begin to move in reverse, turn the steering wheel to the side and concentrate all their attention on the space behind the car. At this moment, the front part of the car body begins to move in an arc with a decent radius, that is, the car shifts in the opposite direction to the steering wheel.

As a result, the car at the exit from the parking lot hits the car in front with a bumper or front fender, and if you leave the garage, the car will collide with the garage wall or the gate.

Maneuvering and stopping

Maneuvering in reverse gear is a potentially dangerous type of driving. This is due to the fact that there is not enough information about people and objects behind the car. Therefore, adjustment of the rear-view mirrors is required. Under no circumstances should they be twisted. You can do this only in one situation - if you park in reverse close to the curb. In all other situations, the mirrors must be level.

When maneuvering in reverse gear, one nuance must be taken into account - the front part of the body skids. If you turn to the right, the front fender will move to the left, and vice versa. Therefore, you must be very careful not to hit neighboring cars and other obstacles. For beginners, one mistake is typical - they drop the clutch after a stop, but forget to turn off the gear. As a result, the car rolls in the opposite direction. This is dangerous because you could crash into a wall, curb, or other vehicle.

It is very important that you learn how to properly steer and pull away. From a theoretical point of view, everything is quite simple: turn the steering wheel in the direction you want to turn. In reality, anything can happen, from which you can simply lose control of both yourself and the car.

In order not to get into an accident, you need to maneuver in reverse very slowly. Most importantly, do not release the clutch completely. If you need to roll, then the clutch needs to be released a little, when the car moves, the clutch to the floor. Accelerate moderately.

Any car, regardless of brand, maneuvers more sharply if you drive it in reverse, as the result is sharper corners. Place your left hand on top of the handlebars and move it to the left and right as needed.

One of the most common maneuvers that all drivers perform is parking. You need to start learning this in the presence of an instructor. To park your car, follow these steps:

1) Find a free place where your car would fit, and it would fit freely, that is, there should be free space around the car.

2) Snuggle up to the parking space so that there is 15-20 cm of free space between your and the neighboring car.

3) Roll up to the car in front so that the rear bumpers of your car and the next car are even.

4) Engage reverse. Keep the steering wheel straight. Roll up a little. Observe the angle of safe entry into the turn. This angle can be very different for different car models. There is a universal advice: you need to back up until the center of the rear wheel disc is equal to the rear bumper of the parked car next to it.

5) Turn the steering wheel all the way in the direction you are turning. If the safe turning angle has been observed, then you will not hit a nearby parked car. Everything is simple here: if you start turning the steering wheel to the right, the car will also start turning to the right, and vice versa.

6) Continue to drive in reverse, while the steering wheel must be turned in the opposite direction in order to go straight.

7) Level the car by turning the steering wheel in the opposite direction.

It makes sense to note that many novice drivers mistakenly believe that parking in reverse is a daunting task. That is why they park in a straight line. But after several not entirely successful attempts, they realize that they need to park backwards.

Why so? Why can't you park in front? The answer to this question lies directly in the design of the car: when turning the steering wheel, the rear wheels follow a shorter arc than the front wheels. The front axle describes a lingering arc, and the rear wheels turn the car. That is, any car will be more maneuverable if you drive in reverse. That is why you need to park not "in front".

Precautionary measures

When you move in reverse, you must be fastened. This could save your life. Also, do not forget to turn on the emergency signal and turn signals so that other road users can see that you are making a maneuver. If you are forced to drive in this way in a rather difficult situation (in a tight parking lot, in conditions of active traffic or poor visibility), then you must turn on the “emergency gang”.

You now know everything about driving in reverse. You will need to practice well, after which you will learn how to ride well. The most important thing is to remember 2 simple rules: take your time, carefully watch the front fenders of the car, be guided by the mirrors. Do not hesitate to turn around to assess the situation. This way you can avoid an accident. Good luck on the road!
