For violation of the stopping and parking rules, the Administrative Code provides for various fines ranging from 500 to 5,000 rubles. However, in exceptional cases, traffic rules allow the possibility of parking cars in places where this is prohibited. The AutoVzglyad portal has figured out when a driver can do this with impunity.
The general provisions of the SDA (paragraph 1.2) contain the term “forced stop” when the vehicle stops moving in the following cases: a) a technical malfunction, b) the danger created by the cargo being transported, c) the danger in connection with the state of the driver or passenger, d ) the appearance of an obstacle on the way.
For example, if a wheel struck a car, you or a passenger felt unwell, or a pole fell on your way, then stopping the car in a prohibited place, according to the law, will be forced and you will not have any right to impose any sanctions.
In this case, the main thing is not to forget to perform the actions stipulated by the SDA: turn on the alarm and set the emergency stop sign. Recall that within the boundaries of the settlement, the “triangle” is installed at a distance of fifteen meters from the car, and outside the city – at least thirty meters from the car.
There is a third mandatory point – the driver must use all possible measures to remove the car from the forbidden zone: if there are forces, you have to push, there are no forces, you need to urgently call a tow truck. After all, we are talking about a forced stop, not a parking lot.
If the matter happened at the railway crossing, which is why no one is insured, you should immediately and immediately drop off all passengers so that they retire to a safe distance from the place of a possible accident. Then it is necessary to take measures to free the railway crossing from transport. While the train is far away, it is best to immediately send two people on both sides of the train to meet the trains, so that they signal the drivers about the obstacle in their way on time. In extreme cases, this should be done by the driver. To be noticed, you can swing the motley cloth to the sides or give light signals by a lantern. In all these cases, the car owner must use a reflective vest.
As practice shows, if a CCTV camera detects a car parked in a prohibited place, the car owner will, in any case, receive a “letter of happiness” – even if it is shot, how a person changes the wheel. In such cases, drivers have to appeal the protocols and prove in court that the stop was forced.
