Every motorist knows that driving on the side of the road is an extremely thankless task, and from all sides. However, will it always be considered a violation of traffic rules to try to go around the traffic flow on this part of the road? Let's try to figure out all the possible options.
1. What does the law say?
The law for motorists regarding driving on the side of the road is categorical. Driving on it is prohibited in accordance with clause 9.9 of the traffic rules. There are no exceptions to this rule. Violation of this rule is punishable in accordance with Part 1 of Article 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Punishment - a fine of 1,500 rubles. At the same time, if the “eyeglasser” gets into the lenses of several different cameras during his race, he will pay a fine several times.
2. What will happen in the event of an accident with a "obochechnik"?
Motorists moving on the road have absolute priority over vehicles on the side of the road. Drivers are not required to give way. Of course, among the "obochechnikov" come across frankly inadequate personalities, and therefore the rule of three "D" - "give way to the fool" has not been canceled. If an accident with such a motorist does happen, then the driver who was driving along the side of the road will most likely be the main culprit.

3. What about the curb in the opposite lane?
In fact, everything is extremely simple in this matter: driving on the side of the oncoming lane is not just prohibited. In addition to driving along the side of the road, it is also equated to driving in the oncoming lane. In this case, the fine grows to a solid amount of 5 thousand rubles. In the worst case, a motorist for such a trick can even be deprived of rights for a period of 4-6 months.
4. When can you drive on the side of the road?
Motorists have the right to use the shoulder only for parking or stopping. The distance that you have to drive along the side of the road to stop or enter the lane will not be considered a violation. However, only cyclists, moped drivers and other electronic means of individual mobility in accordance with paragraph 24.2 of the rules of the road movement.
