Low-speed vehicle - This is a technical vehicle used forMovement, the speed of which under the passport does not exceed thirty kilometers per hour. However, additional restrictions and modifiers are not taken into account. Low-speed will be a vehicle, which for some reason can not develop a speed limit of more than thirty kilometers per hour.
To refer to slow movingvehicles use special signs. On them are guided by overtaking other road users. A low-speed vehicle is indicated by a special label or sign.
This is an equilateral red triangle havingthe same color is the retroreflective fringe. In some cases, it can be yellow. Inside the triangle is covered with fluorescent coating. The sign is mounted on the back of the treadmill. If there is no triangle, then a special sticker must be attached to the body of this vehicle.
Such a vehicle can be overtaken, even if notcorresponding notation. But at the same time the driver should be sure that the speed of the vehicle in front of him can not exceed thirty kilometers per hour. Even if there is no sign or sticker, there will be no penalty for overtaking or deprivation of rights.
But there are other situations. For example, when the driver overtakes the vehicle under the sign "Overtaking is prohibited", but ahead of the vehicle in its technical characteristics can develop more than thirty kilometers per hour, and for some reason moves at a slower rate. In this case, you can lose the rights for overtaking.
You can overtake a slow-moving vehicle under a prohibitory sign if it is:
All other vehicles can not be overtaken. But this rule is valid, if there are no other actual bans on anticipation.
Overtaking a slow-moving vehicle throughsolid markup was resolved not so long ago. Back in 2010 and 2012 years. Regulatory amendments appeared in the SDA. Low-speed vehicles can be overtaken by continuous marking. But only under the prohibitory sign. This was done to unload small roads, which are often very slow moving special machinery (road rollers, tractors and other low-speed vehicles, often found on Russian roads).
The prohibitory signs are usually set inemergency places where the overtaken may not notice that the driver from behind decided to overtake him. As a result, the first machine can accelerate, as a result - there is an accident. In addition, on rural and suburban routes slow TS create serious "traffic jams". And drivers lose a lot of time, "dragging" behind the slow-moving. Therefore, the SDA has been amended.
But they apply only to the sign "Overtaking is forbidden" (3.20). In the absence of it, the old rules apply:
Sluggish vehicles are required to drive a little to the right or stop to skip a series of cars gathered behind. This is also the recently introduced amendment to the rules of the road.
You can not overtake a slow-moving vehicle if there is one more car up to it, which does not dare or does not want to advance the slow transport ahead of itself.
Often on the roads there are situations when the vehicle,according to the technical characteristics, moves very slowly. And sometimes on a vehicle there are no signs indicating a slow-moving car. In this case, you can overtake slowly moving ahead of the vehicle only if the driver is sure that the special equipment can not go at a speed exceeding thirty kilometers per hour. For example, if a tractor, an asphalt compactor, etc., moves in front of the driver,
In any other case, this is rather risky. The driver may lose even his identity. And the probability is so high. Therefore, even if the upper limit is exceeded even a kilometer, punishment will follow. In the best case, the driver can be fined five thousand rubles. At worst, the deprivation of rights to manage the vehicle for a period of four to six months will follow.
Asphalt compactor rides at a speed of fivekilometers per hour. This slow-moving vehicle can not move faster. The vehicle is located in the area of the prohibitory sign overtaking. There is neither a triangle nor a sticker on the rink. The driver, overtaking such a vehicle, will not be punished. The skating rink is really a slow-moving vehicle.
The second case: A tractor with a trailer slowly moves along the road. Its speed is no more than twenty-five kilometers per hour. The vehicle is in the zone of the above sign. On the tractor there is no sticker or a triangle, which designates the vehicle as a slow-moving vehicle.
This vehicle overtakes the hurriedthe driver driving behind. In this case, he may be fined or stripped of his rights. The reason is the technical characteristics of the tractor, which can reach speeds of up to 50 km / h. Therefore, the TS does not have the identification marks of a slow-moving vehicle.
