Many people mistakenly refer to double overtaking as overtaking several vehicles in a row, driving in the same lane one after the other. This maneuver is not prohibited by the Rules. Unless, of course, all other requirements of section 11 of this document are met.
In fact, a double overtake is overtaking another car, which itself performs a similar maneuver, explains driving expert Kirill Mileshkin. He told me what awaited him for such a daring turn into the oncoming lane.
For double overtaking, they will be fined five thousand rubles or denied their rights for four to six months (12.15.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses). If the driver commits such an offense again, the penalty is much more serious: disqualification from the driver’s license for 12 months.
It often happens like this: you go out to overtake, but the driver of the car in front of you decides to perform the same maneuver. So he violates section requirements 11.2 SDA: overtaking is prohibited if “the following vehicle has started overtaking”. In this situation, the one who started to overtake later is to blame. The punishment for him is similar under the same article.
