Dependation vs succession: essential rules for security

The fines up to 1,160 she and the suspension of the permit for 60 days are just some of the consequences that we can satisfy if we do not understand the difference between the output and the overcoming.

As a driver, we must know that the output and overcoming are two distinct maneuvers in the traffic code. While the overcoming involves the passage of a vehicle on another ribbon or on the road axis, the production is allowed on the roads with at least two lanes by direction, without requesting the change of traffic tape.

In this article, we will analyze in detail the essential differences between these two maneuvers, the specific rules for each and the way we can avoid the serious sanctions that can derive from their incorrect performance.

What is the output and what is overcome

As drivers, the precise understanding of the difference between the output and the overcoming can be vital for our safety and avoid fines. Although these two maneuvers seem similar, they are defined separately in the traffic code and involve different rules.

The legal definition of the late maneuver

The excessive maneuver is clearly defined in the traffic code, article 45, paragraph 1. It represents the passage of a vehicle on the traffic band on another ribbon or on the road axis, to overcome another vehicle or an obstacle, after which the driver returns to the initial band. It is a complex maneuver that involves a series of rigorous rules to be performed safely.

When we pass, we are obliged to make sure that the front or rear vehicle has not already started a similar maneuver. Furthermore, when by passing we pass the axis that separates the meanings of the traffic, we must check that no vehicle approaches and we have enough space to return to the initial tape.

What does it mean in the way according to the road code

On the contrary, the output is not considered exceeded. According to article 45, paragraph 4, the detachment represents the situation in which a vehicle travels faster on one of the lanes compared to the vehicles circulating on another ribbon in the same sense of traffic. In other words, it is the movement of one vehicle at a higher speed than another, on the same direction of traffic, but on another tape, without the need to change the tread.

This maneuver is allowed only on the roads provided with at least two lanes by direction. It commonly meets on national and European motorways or roads, where cars can drive in parallel without confiding.

Simple examples to understand the difference

The fundamental difference between the two maneuvers is as follows:

• For overcoming you must change the direction of walking or the traffic lane and then return to the initial ribbon.
• For the exit you just have to keep the ribbon, while the slowest vehicle circulates on another tape in the same direction.

A clear example: if you are on the highway and moved to Corsia 2 on tape 1 to pass in front of a vehicle that circulates more slowly on tape 2, then go back to the initial tape, you made an overcoming maneuver. On the other hand, if you constantly travel on Band 1 and pass from a vehicle that goes slower on lane 2, without changing the tape, then make a detachment.

However, it is important to know that if you change the tape and in front of you there is another vehicle and you pass in front, the maneuver is considered overtaking, not a simple change of bandwidth. Both maneuvers must be reported correctly, 50 meters forward on the usual roads or 100 meters forward on the highway.

The difference between the output and the overcoming in practice

In daily traffic, the difference between production and overcoming becomes crucial for the safety and legality of our maneuvers. The correct application of these concepts can make the difference between a safe journey and an expensive fine.

Change your vs. Keep the tape

The fundamental difference between the two maneuvers consists in the position of the vehicle on the road.

After passing, you have to change the traffic lane, leaving the rope where you initially been and returning after passing the obsolete vehicle. Instead, when you have a deposit, stay on the same tape while passing a vehicle that travels more slowly on another tape, in the same sense of circulation.

For example, when you drive on a two wool road on the direction and move on the band to pass in front of another vehicle, do a overcoming. However, if you constantly go to your band and go to a car on another tape, without changing the direction, take a detachment.

When a maneuver becomes illegal

An overcoming becomes illegal in the following situations:

• If performed from the right side (unless the front vehicle takes place left)
• In areas with continuous or continuous double lines
• On the crossings or pedestrian crossings
• When there is no enough visibility

The traffic code provides fines between 660 and 825 she for irregular exceeding and, as a complementary measure, the suspension of the permit for 30 days. In the case of accidents with bicycles or scooters, the fine can reach up to 1,320 she, with the suspension of the permit for 60 days.

VS OPTING DEPTING on the highest

On the highway, the situation is different. While overcoming entering the opposite direction it is severely prohibited, the output is allowed and even recommended. Therefore, when I travel on Band 1 (fast) and pass from a vehicle on band 2, a legal detachment is made.

In addition, according to the traffic code, the right detachment is allowed on the highway, provided that the speed limit and road signals. The main purpose of these rules is to release the bands that travel at higher speeds, contributing to the fluidization of traffic.

Essential rules for adequate maneuvers

For the safety of all traffic participants, the traffic code establishes clear rules on overcoming and output maneuvers. Knowing them can make the difference between a safe journey and an expensive fine or even an accident.

When passing is allowed

Overcoming is allowed only when it can be done safely. First of all, we must make sure that the vehicle that follows has not already reported the beginning of a similar maneuver. We must also verify that there is sufficient space and that we do not endanger or we do not embarrass the circulation in the opposite direction.

According to the traffic code, when we pass, we are obliged to:

• We point out the intention of performing maneuver
• We keep a sufficient lateral distance during the scarce during the low vehicle
• We read the initial tape after reporting and we made sure we can make this maneuver safely

Areas where the overcoming is prohibited

The overcoming is severely prohibited in:

• Crossings with undoubted circulation
• Approach the ramp peaks when visibility is less than 50 m
• Curves or other places where visibility is reduced below 50 m
• On irregular passages, bridges, under bridges and tunnels
• On the pedestrian crossings reported by signs and bookmarks
• To level the crossings with railway and less than 50 m earlier
• Next to the tram station when it is stopped and the station has no refuge

However, animal -wheel drive vehicles, motorcycles without attack, mope and bicycles can be overcome if the visibility is supplied with a minimum of 20 me the width of the road is at least 7 m.

Depth on the highway: what do you need to know

On the toll -free highway, the detachment is the recommended procedure. This involves faster circulation on a ribbon than vehicles on another tape in the same sense. Therefore, when traveling on lane 1 with 130 km/he passes from a vehicle on band 2 that goes with 120 km/h, I make a legal production.

Late: legal exceptions

Although the general rule states that overcoming is made only left, there are two legal exceptions:

• Overcoming the trams through the right side
• Overcome the vehicle that reported the intention and was correctly framed for the left turn

On the highway, we cannot speak of the overcoming of the right, but of the production, which is perfectly legal when we respect the speed limit and road signaling.

Penalties and risks for wrong maneuvers

Failure to comply with the rules of production and overcoming attracts serious sanctions, which can significantly affect both the budget and freedom to drive. Knowing these consequences can motivate us to strictly respect the legislation on the road.

Fines for irregular overcoming

The irregular overcoming is considered one of the most dangerous violations of the traffic code. Starting from 2024, fines for these maneuvers have become more drastic:

• Overcoming on a continuous line or in prohibited areas it is sanctioned with 6-8 points fine (870-1.160 lei)
• For an irregular exit of scooters or bicycles, the fine can reach up to 1,320 she
• The value of a fine point increased in 2024 from 145 she to 165 she

In more serious cases, such as overcoming in high-risk areas or that endangers other traffic participants, the sanctions fall into the fourth grade (9-20 points end).

Suspension of the permit and other consequences

In addition to coherent fines, irregular overcoming attracts other serious consequences:

• The suspension of the permit for 60 days in case of irregular overload
• Extending the 90 -day suspension period if the maneuver caused a road accident
• In case of exceeding the speed of over 50 km/h, the suspension can reach 90 days and for over 70 km/h, at 120 days

These sanctions can have a remarkable impact on personal and professional life, significantly limiting mobility for long periods.

How to avoid frequent errors

The overcoming remains one of the most dangerous traffic maneuvers, being responsible for 15-18% of road deaths, although it represents only 8-10% of total accidents. To avoid sanctions and, above all, accidents, here are some essential recommendations:

1. Analyze road conditions: low visibility, wet roads or crowded traffic increase the risk of accidents.
2. Calculate the speed and distance correctly – underestimate the time required for the maneuver is one of the most common errors.
3. Respect the areas with the forbidden overcoming: check the road signs and indicators before starting any maneuver.
4. Use the mirrors and the report correctly: the lack of signaling doubles the risk of collision.

In addition, keep in mind that a correct overcoming requires sufficient space to accelerate, cross the front vehicle and return to the band without the embarrassment on the obsolete one.

Conclusion

The difference between output and overcoming may seem thin at first sight, but the consequences of the misunderstanding of these maneuvers are significant. The serious fines, which can reach up to 1,320 she, and the suspension of the permit for a maximum of 120 days are realities that we do not want to face.

However, traffic safety remains the most important aspect. Therefore, we must be aware of the fact that irregular overcoming is one of the main causes of serious accidents, being responsible for up to 18% of the deaths of the road.

In essence, the rules are simple: the output is made without changing the tape, while the overcoming involves the change of the band and the return to the initial tape. In addition, each maneuver has its own specific context: the detachment is ideal on highways and the overcoming that requires rigid safety conditions.

Respect for these rules not only prevents us from fines, but ensures that we reach the destination well. Our safety and other traffic participants depend on the decisions we make every day behind the wheel.
