Roads have always been, and always will be, unpredictable things because you can’t predict what other motorists will do. However, Traffic Regulations (TRAF) means ideal order when driving and does not specifically mean violating traffic rules in extremely necessary circumstances. As a result, people who avoid serious accidents can easily receive automatic fines for crossing solid lines, driving on the side of the road, and similar infamy taken out of context.

This is uncommon, but not so rare that it can be ignored. Now the Russian Ministry of Interior refers to the Constitutional Court’s definition of extremely critical situations. respected No administrative liability shall be held against vehicle drivers who violate traffic rules due to special needs.
It is understood that a driver’s behavior in an extremely critical situation is not illegal even if it causes a traffic accident and property damage. It remains to be further clarified whether a driver will be found guilty if he causes injuries due to “forced” behavior.
In general, such an explanation creates a lot of problems. The truth is that while avoiding a collision is a natural desire, you can’t do it on the road because you might hit another participant in the traffic and become the culprit of an accident. When a dangerous situation occurs, the first reaction should be to apply the brakes, not turn the steering wheel.
