b) towing with a flexible hitch;

c) any towing in icy conditions.

2. When driving through ice crossings and crossing on ferries:

Transporting passengers in buses across ice crossings is strictly prohibited;

Start moving across ice crossings on ferries only if there is written permission from the dispatcher on the waybill, after disembarking passengers;

Before setting off on a route where there are such crossings, receive special instructions.

3. When driving through railway crossings:

In all cases, when approaching a railway crossing, the driver must make sure that there is no approaching train (locomotive, handcar) within sight, follow the requirements of road signs, traffic lights, markings, the position of the barrier and the instructions of the crossing duty officer;

On non-urban routes, you must stop before the crossing and continue moving only after making sure that there is no train approaching the crossing;

If you are forced to stop at a crossing, immediately disembark passengers and take all measures to clear the crossing. If you cannot remove the car from the crossing, you must:

a) if possible, send two people along the tracks in both directions from the crossing 1000 meters or one person in the direction of the worst visibility of the track, explaining to them how to transmit a stop signal to the driver of the approaching train;

b) stay near the car yourself and sound a general alarm;

g) overtake at a crossing and closer than 100 m in front of it.

Instruction No. 4. Driver work and parking at night

Driver work and parking in the dark

When driving in the dark or other conditions of insufficient visibility of less than 300 meters (fog, heavy rain, snowstorm, and also in tunnels), vehicles must have high or low beam headlights, a road train identification sign, and side lights on the trailer.

The driver's adaptation to driving in the dark does not occur immediately. At this time, the number of violations of the rules for using lighting devices increases one and a half times than in other months.

The low traffic intensity at night is accompanied by a deceptive impression of safety: the driver thinks that the road at night provides excellent conditions for fast driving.

But the road landmarks that the driver used during the day are poorly visible or not visible at all in the dark, so you can drive into a ditch, fly onto the side of the road or into the oncoming lane.

Driving with an oncoming car is especially dangerous, although the danger comes not from it, but from some obstacle: a cyclist, a pedestrian, who may be on the road. The high beam must be switched to low beam at least 150 m before an oncoming vehicle. If blinded, the driver must, without changing lanes, turn on the hazard lights, reduce speed or stop. It is very dangerous to light a cigarette while driving, because... The flame of a lighter or match can blind. If you smoke, ventilate the car: substances contained in tobacco smoke reduce visual acuity.

When returning from a long trip at night, make short stops that break up the monotony of driving in the dark.

A few minutes are enough to restore the level of attention necessary for driving safely.

When stopping and parking on unlit sections of the road in the dark or in poor visibility conditions, the side lights on the car must be turned on, and in conditions of poor visibility, low-beam headlights, front and rear fog lights can also be turned on. For a road train - illumination of the "Road Train" identification sign.

When forced to stop, the vehicle's hazard warning lights must be turned on and an emergency stop sign must be immediately posted at a distance of at least 15 m from the vehicle (in a populated area) and 30 m outside a populated area.

The driver is prohibited from leaving the car on the roadway. He must take all possible measures to divert it off the road.

Instruction No. 5. Features of the driver’s work in the spring-summer period

Features of the driver's work in the spring-summer period

As the snow begins to melt, a lot of spring water accumulates on the roads. Under a layer of water on the roadway, bumps and holes may be hidden. When driving on such roads, you must drive with extreme caution so as not to damage your vehicle, damage the chassis, or cause a traffic accident.

After the driver has driven through water, the brake action should be checked immediately.

When driving through water, the brake pads get wet, the coefficient of friction decreases sharply, and the brakes do not work. It is necessary to slowly press the brake pedal and hold it until effective braking is restored. In this case, it is necessary to move at low speed.

The earthen roadsides become wet and sticky due to large amounts of moisture. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid driving onto the wet side of the road, because The vehicle may pull to the side of the road and overturn, especially at high speeds. The minimum speed is selected.

With the onset of warm days, a large number of pedestrians, cyclists and drivers of individual vehicles appear on the streets and roads. Driver, be especially careful on the roads!

Pedestrians, cyclists and drivers of private vehicles have very low knowledge of traffic rules and driving skills. They may suddenly make an unexpected maneuver, so be especially careful when driving around with this category of drivers.

Morning frosts cover the road with a thin layer of ice, the tires have almost no grip, the coefficient of adhesion, which on a good road can vary between 0.7 or 0.9, drops to 0.05 when there is ice. What should you do to drive in relative safety when the car seems to be floating on the road?

If you are driving on ice, our advice is: do not brake suddenly, it is not only useless, but also dangerous. Sharp braking leads to wheel locking and an increase in braking distance, and most often to loss of controlled skidding; When driving through a dangerous area, try to maintain a constant speed, use the accelerator pedal very carefully, smoothly, gently. No unnecessary, let alone sharp, movements of the steering wheel. If you need to stop, brake using the engine or intermittently, i.e. "press and release".

If the car skids, you must turn the front wheels in the direction of the skid, using engine braking.

Be especially careful when approaching bridges or overpasses. There the ice crust on the road appears earlier than elsewhere and disappears later. In these areas, avoid sudden movements of the steering wheel, gas, or brakes. On a slippery road, changing lanes can be a nuisance, and overtaking even more so. Therefore, it is better to stay in your lane.

In the opposite direction and in the same direction on a wet road, dirty splashes from the car wheels fall on the windshield and impede visibility. Therefore, you cannot drive onto the line with inoperative windshield wipers.

Summer is the time for school holidays. The “peak” of child road traffic injuries occurs at this time. Driver, remember - you should be especially careful when driving past schools, playgrounds, as well as on sections of streets and roads where children may suddenly appear.

Instruction No. 6. Driver work in the autumn-winter period

Driver work in the autumn-winter period

Autumn came. Rain, fog, falling leaves, light morning frosts - all this makes the autumn road dangerous and difficult for those who are driving. And only a driver who takes all precautions will be able to skillfully overcome difficult sections of the route.

On wet asphalt and roads covered with leaves, overtaking and sudden braking are dangerous.

Driver, remember: high speed on turns, on wet roads and in icy conditions is completely unacceptable. Before turning, you must reduce your speed to a minimum without applying sudden braking. But if a skid occurs, the following measures should be taken without fuss and nervousness: without engaging the clutch, turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid, smoothly braking, and remove the car from the situation.

Intersections and public transport stops are especially dangerous; when the road is snow-covered, they become especially slippery due to the constant braking of cars.

General rules for driving on slippery roads

1. Slow down.

2. Increase your distance and lateral clearance from other vehicles.

3. Perform all actions smoothly, do not make any sudden movements.

It must be remembered that in autumn and winter, daylight hours are shorter, and the driver has to use headlights more. Strictly follow the traffic rules, but do not blind each other at crossings, switch your headlights to low beam.

When driving in rain or snow, remember that visibility is reduced because the windshield wipers only clean part of the front glass.

The braking distance increases, which means the overall danger of driving increases. When going uphill, choose a gear so that you don't have to shift before the climb is complete.

When descending, do not press the clutch, drive the car at speed, braking smoothly.

Do not travel in a faulty vehicle. Serviceable brakes, steering, tires, lighting devices are the key to safe work on the line.

Driver, do not give sharp sound and light signals when pedestrians appear on the roadway, because, in a hurry to get off the road, a pedestrian can make a sudden movement, slip and fall in front of a moving car.

Drivers! Driving safety on slippery roads depends only on you. Experience and skill, attentiveness and discipline are a reliable guarantee of trouble-free operation during the autumn-winter season.

To properly provide self- and mutual assistance, certain training and skills are required, as well as the availability of a set of dressings and medications.

I. Treatment of the wound

For any damage to the skin and deep-lying tissues, it is necessary to treat the edges of the wound and apply a bandage.

1. Do not wash the wound, do not remove foreign bodies from the wound. Wipe the skin along the edges of the wound with sterile material, moving from the wounded surface to undamaged skin.

2. Using the same movements, lubricate the skin around the wound with iodine; do not flood the wound with iodine.

3. Cover the wound with sterile material, without touching the part of the material adjacent to the wound with your hands. Apply a bandage.

II. Stopping bleeding from a wound

A. Arterial blood (bright scarlet blood) sprays out in a pulsating stream.

1. Take measures to stop bleeding with a pressure bandage. To do this, a sterile material is placed on the wound, a tightly rolled bandage or a piece of foam rubber or sponge rubber is placed on top of this material, and a tight bandage is performed.

2. If a tight bandage does not help, apply a rubber tourniquet above the site of damage to the vessel. If there is no tourniquet, a twist from a belt, scarf, etc. is applied, which is tightened and secured with a stick.

It is better to apply the tourniquet to clothing or a soft pad without folds. The tourniquet can be kept for no more than 1.5-2 hours.

3. In case of very severe bleeding, you must immediately press the vessel above the bleeding site with your fingers to the bone. This will give you time to get your bearings and choose a way to stop the bleeding. The vessel should be pressed against the bone with your thumb or four other fingers so that they lie along the artery.

4. If the bleeding vessel is located in a place where it is impossible to apply a tourniquet (axillary region, groin region), it is possible to stop the bleeding by sharply bending the limb in the nearest joints and thus squeezing the vessel. The limb must be fixed in this position with a bandage made of a scarf or other durable material.

B. Venous and capillary (dark red blood flows or oozes).

A sterile, moderate pressure bandage is applied.

III. Bruises

Signs: swelling, bruising and pain, some limitation of movement may occur. Help - peace, cold.

IV. Stretching

Signs: swelling, bruising and severe pain in the joint area, limitation of active movements in the joint.

Help: rest, cold. A soft fixing bandage is applied to the ankle, knee, and elbow joints (8-shaped).

V. Dislocation

When a dislocation occurs, the articular surfaces are displaced, often with rupture of the joint capsule. Signs: change in the shape of the joint (limb length), severe pain, especially when trying to move. Active and passive movements in the joint are almost impossible. Help: creating complete immobility in the joints, as with a fracture (see below). You should not try to reduce the dislocation!

VI. Fracture

When a fracture occurs, the integrity of the bone is disrupted. Bone fragments may remain in place (non-displaced fractures) or be displaced. Fractures without skin damage are closed. When the skin under the fracture site is damaged, open fractures occur. The main signs of a fracture: sharp pain, swelling, bruising. Impaired movement in the limb due to displaced fractures - deformation of the limbs. A crunching sound at the fracture site and abnormal mobility may appear, but these signs should not be specifically identified. A number of signs of a fracture are similar to those of a bruise and sprain. At the slightest suspicion of a fracture, assistance should be the same as for an obvious fracture.

1. Help with a broken limb. Do not reduce the fracture! In case of an open fracture, do not touch the bone fragments. Apply a sterile bandage (see section "Wounds"). The main thing is to ensure complete immobility of the damaged bones. To do this, a special transport tire, board, ski, stick, metal plate, etc. is attached to the injured limb using a bandage, scarf or other available means. The splint or improvised means should be applied in such a way as to capture the joints located above and below the fracture site. A broken limb can be fixed to a healthy limb (leg) or torso (arm).

2. Help with fractures of the collarbone and scapula. Suspend your hand on a scarf, the same should be done after fixing a fracture of the hand or forearm.

3. Help with fractures of the pelvis and spine. The main signs: pain in the pelvis, spine, and often limited movement in the limbs. Danger if assistance is not provided: damage to internal organs, shock, spinal cord damage.

Basic assistance: place the victim in a horizontal position on his back, on a hard, smooth surface. For pain in the cervical spine, secure the head and neck by placing some soft objects around them on the sides. When shifting the victim, secure the head and neck.

VII. Jaw fracture

Signs: severe pain, swelling, possible bleeding from the mouth or nose. Help: a sling-shaped bandage that goes through the chin and presses the lower jaw to the upper jaw. If the victim loses consciousness, lie on his side.

VIII. Traumatic brain injury

This includes concussion and contusion of the brain, fracture of the skull bones.

1. Signs of a concussion: short-term loss of consciousness, headache, dizziness, nausea, general weakness. First aid: supine position, transportation in a supine position. With a brain contusion, prolonged loss of consciousness, vomiting and a state of loss of consciousness with vomit entering the respiratory tract, retraction of the tongue, which makes breathing difficult, are possible. Help to prevent vomit and blood from entering the respiratory tract and to reduce tongue retraction (in the absence of a pelvic fracture): the patient should be laid on his side, placing something under his head so that the head does not hang down, but is not raised either ( see "Respiratory Disorders" section below).

2. A skull fracture may not differ in its symptoms from a concussion or contusion of the brain, but in some cases it is manifested by the presence of a wound in the area of ​​the fracture, slight or heavy bleeding or clear fluid from the nose, mouth or ear. The help is the same as for a brain injury: apply a sterile bandage to the wound.

IX. Conditions directly threatening life

1. Shock. Occurs with severe injuries accompanied by severe painful irritation. Prevention: avoid repeated painful stimuli due to shifting, movements in broken limbs, etc., strong fixation of the fracture. Help: create peace, give the victim analgin or pyramidon, in cold weather - warm the victim.

2. Breathing disorders. It may be due to a recessed tongue, blockage of the respiratory tract by foreign bodies: vomit, blood, mucus, water, as well as due to respiratory arrest. Signs of respiratory arrest: lack of visible breathing movements, the victim may turn blue or pale.

Help with blockage of the respiratory tract: use gauze or a clean cloth wrapped around a finger, or use an instrument to clear the mouth and deeper parts of the pharynx from foreign bodies, turn the head or the entire victim to the side. If the tongue sinks, you can insert a dense rubber tube with a diameter of 1-1.5 cm and a special air duct along the finger behind the root of the tongue for 1-2 cm.

Attention: - when cleaning the mouth and inserting the tube, use your finger to control the position of the tongue so as not to push it into the depths;

When cleaning the mouth and throat, make sure that you do not leave a cloth or gauze in the throat.

Help with respiratory arrest. Artificial respiration is performed “mouth to mouth” or through the above tube. When performing artificial respiration, the victim's nose should be pinched. Artificial respiration in children is carried out directly through the nose and mouth. For hygienic purposes, you can put a gauze napkin on the victim’s mouth.

Artificial respiration technique "mouth to mouth" or through a breathing tube. The person performing artificial respiration, after inhaling deeply enough, presses his mouth to the victim’s mouth or takes the breathing tube into his mouth and exhales forcefully. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that air does not escape from the victim’s mouth. Exit occurs independently, the frequency of artificial respiration is 14-18 times per minute.

3. Cardiac arrest. Signs: disappearance of pulse, pale skin, and simultaneous cessation of breathing. Help - indirect cardiac massage. The victim is placed on his back, on a hard surface, more conveniently at the height of the dining table. The person providing assistance stands on the left, places his left palm on the lower end of the sternum and with force squeezes the chest strictly vertically, additionally pressing on the left hand with the right. Such compressions are performed 60 times per minute, the chest is compressed by 3-4 cm. At the same time, artificial respiration is performed. If assistance is provided by one person, then for every 4-5 compressions 1 breath is taken.

If this measure is effective, a pulse appears, pallor decreases, the pupils narrow and, finally, the independent activity of the heart is restored.

This event is especially important in case of electrical injury, in cases where the victim was drowning.

INSTRUCTION No. 3

Working in difficult road conditions

1. When working on mountain roads:

    before leaving for the line, be sure to obtain information from the dispatcher about the condition of the road, weather and traffic conditions on the route;

    on sections of the road marked with a “Steep Descent” sign, where oncoming traffic is difficult, when driving downhill, give way to vehicles moving uphill;

    remember the prohibition:

a) driving with the clutch or gear disengaged in areas marked with a “Steep descent” sign;

b) towing on a flexible hitch;

c) any towing in icy conditions.

2. When driving through ice breaks and crossing on ferries:

    transportation of passengers in buses on ice crossings is strictly prohibited;

    start moving through ice crossings and on ferries only if there is written permission from the dispatcher on the waybill, disembark passengers;

    Before departing on a flight along a route where there are such crossings, receive special instructions.

3.When driving through railway crossings:

    in all cases, when approaching a railway crossing, the driver must make sure that there is no approaching train (locomotive, handcar) within sight, follow the requirements of road signs, traffic lights, markings, the position of the barrier and the instructions of the crossing duty officer;

    on non-urban routes, you must stop before the crossing and continue moving only after making sure that there is no train approaching the crossing;

    If you are forced to stop at a crossing, immediately disembark passengers and take all measures to clear the crossing.

If you cannot remove the car from the crossing, you must:

a) if possible, send two people along the tracks in both directions from the crossing 1000 meters or one person in the direction of the worst visibility of the track, explaining to them how to transmit a stop signal to the driver of the approaching train;

b) stay near the car yourself and sound a general alarm signal (one long, three short beeps);

INSTRUCTION No. 4

Driver work and parking in the dark

When driving in the dark or other conditions of insufficient visibility of less than 300 meters (fog, heavy rain, snowstorm, and also in tunnels), vehicles must have high or low beam headlights, a road train identification sign, and side lights on the trailer.

The driver's adaptation to driving in the dark does not occur immediately. At this time, the number of violations of traffic rules and rules for using lighting devices increases by one and a half times.

The low traffic intensity at night is accompanied by a deceptive impression of safety: the driver thinks that the road at night provides excellent conditions for fast driving.

But the road landmarks that the driver used during the day are poorly visible or not visible at all in the dark, so you can drive into a ditch, fly onto the side of the road or into the oncoming lane.

Driving with an oncoming car is especially dangerous; the danger comes not from it, but from some obstacle.

The high beam must be switched to low beam at least 150 m before an oncoming vehicle. If blinded, the driver is obliged, without changing lanes, to turn on the hazard lights, reduce speed or stop.

It is very dangerous to light a cigarette while driving, because... The flame of a lighter or match can blind. If you smoke, ventilate the car: substances contained in tobacco smoke reduce visual acuity.

When returning from a long trip at night, make short stops that break up the monotony of driving in the dark.

A few minutes are enough to restore the level of attention necessary for driving safely.

When stopping and parking on unlit sections of the road in the dark or in poor visibility conditions, the side lights on the car must be turned on, and in conditions of poor visibility, low-beam headlights, front and rear fog lights can also be turned on. Road Train Day - illumination of the Road Train identification sign.

When forced to stop, the vehicle's hazard warning lights must be turned on and an emergency stop sign must be immediately posted at a distance of at least 15 m from the vehicle (in a populated area) and 30 m outside a populated area.

The driver is prohibited from leaving the car on the roadway. He must take all possible measures to divert it off the road.

Features of the driver's work in the spring-summer period

As the snow begins to melt, a lot of ice water accumulates on the roads. Under the flow of water on the roadway, bumps and holes may be hidden. When driving on such roads, you must move with extreme caution so as not to disable your vehicle, damage the chassis, or cause a traffic accident.

After driving through water, the brakes should be checked immediately.

When driving through water, the brake pads get wet, the coefficient of friction decreases sharply, and the brakes do not work.

It is necessary to slowly press the brake pedal and hold it until effective braking is restored. In this case, it is necessary to move at low speed.

Earthen roadsides get wet and viscous from a large amount of moisture. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid driving onto a wet roadside, because The car can pull to the side of the road and overturn, especially at high speed. The minimum speed is selected.

With the onset of warm days, a large number of pedestrians, cyclists and drivers of individual vehicles appear on the streets and roads. DRIVER, BE PARTICULARLY CAREFUL ON THE ROAD!

Pedestrians, cyclists and drivers of private vehicles have very low knowledge of traffic rules and driving skills. They can suddenly make an unexpected maneuver, so be especially careful when traveling with this category of drivers;

Morning frosts cover the road with a thin layer of ice, the tires have almost no grip, the coefficient of adhesion, which on a good road is 0.7-0.9, decreases to 0.05 when there is ice.

If you are driving on ice, our advice is: do not brake suddenly, it is not only useless, but also dangerous. Sharp braking leads to wheel locking and an increase in braking distance, and most often to loss of control and skidding.

When driving through a dangerous area, try to maintain a constant speed, use the accelerator pedal very carefully, smoothly, gently. No unnecessary, let alone sharp, movements of the steering wheel. If you need to stop, use the engine brake or intermittently, i.e. “press and release.”

If the car skids, it is necessary to turn the front wheels on the side of the skid, using engine braking.

Be especially careful when approaching bridges or overpasses. The ice crust that appears on the road earlier than elsewhere disappears here just as much later. In these areas, avoid sudden movements of the steering wheel, gas, or brakes. On a slippery road, changing lanes can be a nuisance, and overtaking even more so. So it's better to stay in your lane

But in the opposite direction and in the same direction on a wet road, dirty splashes from the car’s wheels fall on the windshield and impede visibility. Therefore, you cannot drive onto the line with inoperative windshield wipers.

Summer is the time for school holidays." The "peak" of children's road traffic injuries occurs at this time. Driver, remember - you should take special care when driving past schools, playgrounds, as well as on sections of streets and roads where sudden appearance of children is possible. "

INSTRUCTION No. 6

Driver work in the autumn-winter period

Autumn came. Rain, fog, falling leaves, light morning frosts - all this makes the autumn road dangerous and difficult for those who are driving. And only a driver who skillfully applies all precautions will be able to overcome difficult sections of the route.

On wet asphalt and roads covered with leaves, overtaking and sudden braking are dangerous.

DRIVER, REMEMBER - high speed on turns, on wet roads and in icy conditions is completely unacceptable. Before turning, you must reduce your speed to a minimum without applying sudden braking. But if a skid occurs, the following measures should be taken without fuss and nervousness: without disengaging the clutch, turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid, smoothly braking, and remove the car from the situation.

Intersections and public transport stops are especially dangerous when the road is snowy. become especially slippery due to constant braking of cars.

General rules for driving on slippery roads:

    Reduce your speed.

    Increase your distance and lateral clearance from other vehicles.

    Perform all actions smoothly, do not make any sudden movements.

It must be remembered that in autumn and winter, daylight hours are shorter and the driver has to use headlights more.

Strictly follow the traffic rules, but do not blind each other at crossings, switch your headlights to low beam.

When driving in rain or snow, remember that visibility is reduced because the windshield wipers only clean part of the front glass.

The braking distance increases, which means the overall danger of driving increases. When going uphill, choose a gear so that you don't have to shift before the climb is complete.

When descending, do not depress the clutch, drive the car in gear, gradually braking.

Do not drive a faulty vehicle. Damaged brakes, steering, tires, lighting devices are the key to safe work on the line.

Driver, do not give sharp sound and light signals when pedestrians appear on the roadway, because In a hurry to get off the road, a pedestrian can make a sudden movement, slip and fall in front of a moving car.

DRIVERS! Driving safety on slippery roads depends only on YOU. Experience and skill, attentiveness and discipline are a reliable guarantee of trouble-free operation in the autumn-winter season.

INSTRUCTION No. 7

The procedure for emergency evacuation of passengers in case of road accidents for bus drivers engaged in the transportation of passengers

If a traffic accident occurs that threatens the life and health of passengers, responsibility for ensuring their emergency evacuation from the bus rests with the driver.

The bus driver is obliged:

    stop the bus, apply the handbrake, immediately turn off the engine and open all doors;

    manage the evacuation of passengers from the bus;

    give a command to passengers, based on the degree of danger, on the order of evacuation from the bus, creating the most favorable conditions and eliminating panic.

For bus passengers, the evacuation command must include:

    priority exit for passengers located in storage areas and in the aisles between seats;

    exit of injured passengers, disabled people and passengers with children;

    exit of the remaining passengers.

For passengers of buses with only one exit, the evacuation command should provide for the priority exit of injured passengers, disabled passengers and passengers with children, and then the exit of female passengers, starting from the rear seats of the bus.

In cases where, due to the nature of road accidents (bus overturning, fire in the cabin, etc.), it is not possible to open the doors or evacuation through the doors does not ensure the salvation of all passengers., bus driver;

    gives the command to passengers to open the hatches, remove the special hammers from the mounts near the windows, break the glass with them and evacuate the cabin through the hatches and window openings, providing each other with all possible assistance;

    if the bus is not equipped with special hammers, it provides passengers with cash for destroying the glass of the passenger compartment window openings (hammers, pry bars,
    wrenches, etc.);

    personally participates in the evacuation of passengers from the bus;

    Upon completion of the evacuation of passengers, organizes the provision of first aid to the victims and calling an ambulance or sending them to the nearest medical facility and uses for these purposes all available at the scene of the incident and passing vehicles.

INSTRUCTIONSN8 For drivers when transporting children on buses

The bus driver must remember that “when transporting children, he is entrusted with the most precious, most precious things, and therefore he must be completely healthy, collected, feel confident and, in addition, fulfill the following requirements:

    Check the technical condition of the vehicle, i.e. comply with all articles of the Road Traffic Regulations that refer to technical condition A vehicle equipment.

The surname of the senior must be included in the driver’s waybill. The driver must instruct the elder about the rules for transporting children. The latter is obliged to fulfill all requirements and at the same time bears responsibility for the consequences.

    According to the Road Traffic Regulations, when transporting a group of children, square yellow identification signs (a side measuring 250-300 mm depending on the type of vehicle) with a red border (width 1/10 of the side) and with a black image must be installed in front and behind the vehicle symbol of the road sign 1.21 “Children”.

    Transportation of people must be carried out in vehicles specially designed for this purpose (buses). Before the bus starts moving, the driver must make sure that
    that all conditions for the transportation of passengers are provided.

The driver is obliged to start driving only with the doors closed and not open them until they come to a complete stop.

    The number of children transported should not exceed the number of seats on the bus.

    The driving speed must not exceed 40 km/h.

    IT IS PROHIBITED to transport cargo together with people, especially children, except for manual laying.

    It is PROHIBITED to transport flammable pyrotechnics with people.

    When transporting children, I am in a column; overtaking is STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

    When the asphalt is wet and visibility is limited, the speed should not exceed 20 km/h. The driving interval is selected by the driver himself, depending on the speed of movement, climatic conditions, and the state of transport.

    The duty dispatcher is prohibited from issuing a waybill without a written doctor’s report on the driver’s health condition.

15. The head of the operation service, and in his absence the senior dispatcher, must personally instruct the driver about the route, the condition of the roadway
this route, about dangerous places and precautions, when traveling long distances - about the time and places of rest.

    When transporting children, the head of operation, together with the head of the convoy, must identify experienced drivers in advance, and also select buses with the shortest service life (preferably the first or second year).

    The head of the quality control department (mechanic) is personally obliged to check these buses and their technical condition. If a technical malfunction is detected, submit a request to RMM. The head of the repair shop is personally obliged to check the elimination of identified faults and hand it over to the head of the quality control department (mechanic) against signature.

2.1. The driver of a motor vehicle is obliged to:
2.1.1. Carry with you and, at the request of police officers, hand over to them for verification:
a driver's license or temporary permit to drive an appropriate vehicle;
registration documents for this vehicle (except for mopeds), and if there is a trailer, also for the trailer (except for trailers for mopeds);
in established cases, permission to carry out activities for the transportation of passengers and luggage by passenger taxi, waybill, license card and documents for the transported cargo, and when transporting large, heavy and dangerous goods - documents provided for by the rules for the transportation of these goods;
a document confirming the fact of disability, in the case of driving a vehicle on which the identification sign “Disabled” is installed;
insurance policy of compulsory civil liability insurance of the vehicle owner in cases where the obligation to insure one’s civil liability is established by federal law.
In cases directly provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation, have and submit for verification to authorized officials of the Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Transport an access card for a vehicle for international road transport, a waybill and documents for the transported cargo, special permits, if available, In accordance with the legislation on highways and on road activities, it is allowed to drive on highways a heavy and (or) large vehicle, a vehicle transporting dangerous goods, and also provide a vehicle for weight and dimensional control.

Drivers are required to carry with them and, if necessary, hand over to the police the following basic documents:

  • PTS or vehicle registration certificate
  • OSAGO policy

When checking documents, the police officer must be guided by the requirements of the Administrative Regulations for the control and supervision of road users’ compliance with road safety requirements and, at the driver’s request, must inform him of the badge number and present his service ID (without handing it over to the driver).

Currently, there are two types of driver's licenses in the Russian Federation:

A national driver's license allows you to drive vehicles on the territory of the Russian Federation without restrictions, and you can also participate in international traffic in those countries that have signed "On Road Traffic", thereby recognizing the Russian national driver's license as valid for driving vehicles in their countries.

However, not all countries have signed this convention and, accordingly, in these countries, our national driver's license may be considered invalid for driving vehicles, so in this case the driver must have an international driver's license.

The waybill is the primary document for recording the operation of vehicles. It, in addition to the required details and the stamp of the organization that issued the waybill, indicates the make, model of the vehicle, state registration plate, last name, first name and patronymic of the driver, series and number of his driver's license, notes are made on the serviceability of the car before departure, date and time departure, and also indicates the task given to the driver. The section of the waybill “Special notes” contains information about changes in the assignment, accompanying persons, etc. In the case when inventory items are transported, the numbers of the shipping documents are entered in the waybill and one copy of them is attached. Responsibility for correctly filling out the waybill rests with the heads of the organization, as well as the persons responsible for operating the vehicles and participating in filling out the document. The presence of a waybill is also mandatory for individual entrepreneurs engaged in road transportation. Drivers employed by an individual entrepreneur in a car that belongs to him, in addition to the waybill, must have a copy of the employment agreement (contract), as well as documents for the transported cargo, which are invoices for the transportation of goods by road.

2.1.2. When driving a vehicle equipped with seat belts, be fastened and do not carry passengers who are not wearing seat belts. When driving a motorcycle, wear a fastened motorcycle helmet and do not carry passengers without a fastened motorcycle helmet.

The rules oblige the driver not only to fasten his seat belts himself, but also to ensure that passengers whose seats are equipped with seat belts also fasten them.

Passengers and drivers wearing seat belts are twice as likely to survive in a collision and five times more likely to survive in a rollover. At speeds of up to 60 km/h, eight out of ten people wearing seat belts are not injured at all.

Modern cars are currently equipped with inertial seat belts that automatically adjust to the anthropometric parameters of drivers and passengers. A belt worn but not fastened poses a serious threat.

It should also be explained to road users that the belt can save the driver and passengers even in the event of a vehicle fire. In a car that catches fire, usually only the one who loses consciousness from the impact dies. Fires typically occur in serious traffic accidents where the likelihood of serious injury is particularly high. A seat belt increases the chances of passengers and the driver to remain conscious and get out of the car independently.

A seat belt will keep the driver and passengers in their seats and prevent them from being thrown out of the vehicle and suffering further injury. Being in a car, a person has a better chance of staying alive than flying out of it.

All drivers and passengers of motorcycles, without exception, must wear fastened motorcycle helmets. The movement of any person on a motorcycle without a fastened motorcycle helmet is a violation of the Rules.

2.2. The driver of a motor vehicle participating in international road traffic is obliged to:
have with you and, at the request of police officers, hand over to them for verification the registration documents for this vehicle (if there is a trailer, and for the trailer) and a driver’s license that comply with the Convention on Road Traffic, as well as documents provided for by the customs legislation of the Eurasian Economic Union, with marks customs authorities confirming the temporary import of this vehicle (if there is a trailer - and a trailer);
have on this vehicle (if there is a trailer - and on the trailer) registration and distinctive signs of the state in which it is registered. Distinctive signs of the state may be placed on registration plates.
A driver engaged in international road transport is required to stop at the request of authorized officials of the Federal Service for Supervision of Transport at checkpoints specially designated by road sign 7.14 and present for inspection the vehicle, as well as permits and other documents provided for by international treaties of the Russian Federation.

The driver participating in the event must have an appropriate driving license:

Modern Russian driver's licenses developed in accordance with international standards and valid for driving a vehicle of the corresponding category (subcategory) in those countries that have signed the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic.

The Russian national driver's license fully complies with the requirements of the Convention on Road Traffic and is valid in any country that has signed this agreement.

The 1968 Convention on Road Traffic established that each signatory state considers any valid national driving license valid on its territory if it is drawn up in the national language of that country or has a certified translation. Such a certificate in the territory of another state is valid for the categories of vehicles specified in it.

In other countries that have not signed the convention, it is necessary to have .

It is issued upon presentation of a driver's license valid in Russia, and its validity period cannot exceed 3 years.

In addition, an international ID for residents of the Russian Federation is not valid within the country.

Driving vehicles for citizens of the Russian Federation within the borders of Russia is permitted only if they have a national driver's license.

A driver participating in international road traffic must have, in addition to the listed documents, an international insurance policy (“green card”).

When driving a faulty vehicle to a parking or repair site, the driver must remember that in the event of an accident, responsibility for driving a technically faulty vehicle will fall on him. Precautionary measures that can be used when driving a vehicle in this case include: driving in the far right lane at low speed, turning on the hazard warning lights and other actions depending on the technical malfunction that has occurred.

Please note the following five faults. They are especially dangerous. In accordance with the Rules, movement is prohibited:

  • in case of malfunction of the service brake system;
  • in case of steering failure;
  • in the event of a malfunction of the coupling device (as part of a road train);
  • when the headlights and tail lights are off (absent) at night in conditions of insufficient visibility;
  • when the driver's side windshield wiper does not operate during rain or snowfall.

If it is impossible to eliminate them on site, then it is prohibited to drive the vehicle. In this case, if the service brake system or steering system malfunctions, call technical assistance or tow (in accordance with) your vehicle to a repair or parking place. A service braking system or steering system that does not make it possible to stop the vehicle or carry out a maneuver when driving at a minimum speed is considered inoperative.

If the hitch malfunction cannot be resolved, do not tow the trailer.

If at night on roads without artificial lighting or in conditions of insufficient visibility it is impossible to restore the functionality of the headlights and tail lights, wait for daylight or clearing.

If it is impossible to repair the malfunction of the windshield wiper on the driver's side during rain or snowfall, wait until the precipitation stops.

Taking the necessary precautions when driving to a repair or parking place means driving at a reduced speed, in the far right lane with the hazard lights on. If possible, use roads without heavy traffic.

Thus, the Rules divide vehicle malfunctions into two groups.

The first includes those malfunctions in which the movement of vehicles is prohibited.

The second includes faults in the presence of which the use of vehicles is prohibited, but their movement is not prohibited.

If such malfunctions are detected (they are given in the appendix to), the driver must eliminate them on the spot, and if this is not possible, then proceed to the repair or parking site, observing safety precautions.

2.3.2. At the request of officials authorized to carry out federal state supervision in the field of road safety, undergo an examination for alcohol intoxication and a medical examination for intoxication. The driver of a vehicle of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the Federal Service of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, engineering, technical and road construction military formations under federal executive authorities, rescue military formations of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergency Situations and Disaster Relief is obliged undergo an examination for alcohol intoxication and a medical examination for intoxication, also at the request of officials of the military automobile inspection.
In established cases, undergo a test of knowledge of the Rules and driving skills, as well as a medical examination to confirm the ability to drive vehicles.

Article 12.8. Driving a vehicle by a driver who is in a state of intoxication, transferring control of a vehicle to a person who is in a state of intoxication.

1. Driving a vehicle by a driver who is intoxicated, if such actions do not constitute a criminal offense, -

2. Transferring control of a vehicle to a person who is intoxicated -
shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of thirty thousand rubles with deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period of one and a half to two years.
3. Driving a vehicle by a driver who is intoxicated and does not have the right to drive vehicles or is deprived of the right to drive vehicles, if such actions do not contain a criminal offense -
entails administrative arrest for a period of ten to fifteen days or the imposition of an administrative fine on persons against whom administrative arrest cannot be applied in accordance with this Code in the amount of thirty thousand rubles.

Note. The use of substances that cause alcohol or drug intoxication, or psychotropic or other intoxicating substances is prohibited. Administrative liability provided for by this article and part 3 of article 12.27 of this Code occurs in the event of an established fact of consumption of substances that cause alcohol intoxication, which is determined by the presence of absolute ethyl alcohol in a concentration exceeding the possible total measurement error, namely 0.16 milligrams per liter of exhaled breath. air, or the presence of absolute ethyl alcohol in a concentration of 0.3 or more grams per liter of blood, or in the case of the presence of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances in the human body.

A driver for whom there are reasonable grounds to believe that he is intoxicated (alcohol, drugs or other) is subject to removal from driving in accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses.

Sufficient grounds to believe that the driver driving the vehicle is intoxicated are:

  • the nature of the vehicle’s movement, which casts doubt on the driver’s ability to control it;
  • presence of signs of intoxication (smell of alcohol on the breath, unsteady posture, speech impairment, severe trembling of the fingers, a sharp change in the color of the skin of the face, behavior inappropriate to the situation);
  • statements of witnesses about the driver’s use of alcoholic beverages or drugs, issuing a ruling to initiate a case for an administrative offense provided for Article 12.24 Code.

Article 12.24. Violation of traffic rules or vehicle operating rules, resulting in minor or moderate harm to the health of the victim.

1. Violation of traffic rules or rules of operation of a vehicle, resulting in minor harm to the health of the victim, -
shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of two thousand five hundred to five thousand rubles or deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period of one to one and a half years.

2. Violation of traffic rules or rules of operation of a vehicle, resulting in the infliction of moderate harm to the health of the victim -
shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of ten thousand to twenty-five thousand rubles or deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period of one and a half to two years.
Notes:
1. Minor harm to health should be understood as a short-term health disorder or minor permanent loss of general ability to work.
2. Infliction of moderate harm to health should be understood as a non-life-threatening long-term health disorder or a significant permanent loss of general ability to work by less than one third.

If there are such grounds, officials who are granted the right of state supervision and control over road safety and vehicle operation, in accordance with current legislation, have the right to conduct an examination for alcohol intoxication and send (deliver) these persons for a medical examination for intoxication.

The procedure for undergoing an alcohol intoxication test is clearly regulated by law. Traffic police officers must strictly carry out all the actions and rules prescribed to them by the instructions (which in practice is not always followed). When undergoing an alcohol intoxication test, the presence of 2 witnesses is required. Police officers cannot be witnesses - only independent persons over 18 years of age, to whom the traffic police officer must explain the rights and responsibilities that this status imposes on them. Moreover, they have the right to make comments during procedural actions if they see any violations. Instead of witnesses, a video recording of the examination procedure may be used.

The driver who is being tested for alcohol must make sure that the person standing in front of him and the one who is recorded in the protocol are the same person. To do this, you need to ask for identification documents of the witness and check it in person. It would not be superfluous to ask the witness about the possibility of his participation, if necessary, in court. If the witness refuses, you have every right to demand another witness. If witnesses were invited after the protocol was drawn up, this must be written on a separate form or in the protocol on the administrative offense and demanded that it be attached to the protocol.

The examination for intoxication is carried out using special certified technical means of measuring alcohol in the driver’s body, which provide an extract of the test results on paper.

The traffic police inspector must provide the driver with a sterile disposable mouthpiece for the breathalyzer, tell how it works and what actions the driver should take, demonstrate that the device is working (show a certificate of verification of the tester or a verification record in the registration certificate, the integrity of the state verifier's mark.

The presence or absence of alcohol intoxication should be determined based on the readings of the measuring device, taking into account the permissible error. The maximum permissible concentration of ethyl alcohol is 0.16 mg per liter of exhaled air. The law allows a minimum presence of alcohol vapor in the exhaled air, not so that drivers can drink alcohol before driving, but in order to take into account the possible permissible error in measurements. The error of the device is approximately 10%, and if the operating instructions are not followed, this figure can increase significantly.

If a concentration of alcohol exceeding the maximum permissible norm is detected in the exhaled air, an inspection report must be drawn up. The act is signed by the driver, witnesses and inspector. An extract printed by a breathalyzer with the results of the study is attached to the report.

If the driver agrees with the results of the study and admits his guilt, the inspector draws up a report. If the driver does not agree with the results, he is sent for a medical examination.

Drivers of vehicles in respect of whom, according to the criteria established by the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation, there are sufficient grounds to believe that they are intoxicated, are subject to a medical examination. These criteria include the following:

  • smell of alcohol on the breath;
  • instability of posture;
  • speech disorder;
  • pronounced trembling of the fingers;
  • a sharp change in the color of the skin of the face;
  • behavior inappropriate to the situation;
  • the presence of alcohol in the exhaled air, determined by technical means of indication, registered and approved for use for medical purposes and recommended for conducting a medical examination for intoxication.
  • refusal of the vehicle driver to undergo an alcohol intoxication test;
  • disagreement of the driver of the vehicle with the results of the examination for alcohol intoxication;
  • the presence of sufficient grounds to believe that the driver of the vehicle is intoxicated and the test result for alcohol intoxication is negative;

A medical examination is carried out on the basis of a protocol signed by an official who is granted the right of state supervision and control of traffic safety and operation of a vehicle, and by the driver of a vehicle in respect of whom this measure is applied to ensure proceedings in an administrative offense case.

Medical examinations are carried out in healthcare organizations that have a license to carry out medical activities indicating the relevant work and services - both directly in the institutions and in mobile units (cars) specially equipped for this purpose that meet the requirements established by the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation.

A medical examination is carried out by a doctor with appropriate special training. In rural areas, if it is impossible to conduct a medical examination by a doctor, an examination by a paramedic at a medical and obstetric station with appropriate special training is allowed.

The results of the medical examination are reflected in the corresponding act, the form of which is approved by the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation. The report is drawn up in 2 copies, signed by the doctor (paramedic) who conducted the medical examination, and certified by the seal of the healthcare organization. One copy is issued to the official who delivered the driver of the vehicle to the healthcare organization, the second is stored in the relevant organization. Each medical examination procedure is registered in a special journal of a healthcare organization, the form, procedure for maintaining and storing which are determined by the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation.

If the driver of the vehicle is in a helpless state (severe injury, unconsciousness, etc.) and special laboratory tests of biological fluids are required to make a conclusion about the presence or absence of intoxication, a medical examination report is drawn up upon receipt of the results of these studies. The original results, certified by the signature of the specialist who conducted the study, are attached to the second copy of the medical examination report. The first copy is handed over to a representative of the body that is granted the right of state supervision and control of traffic safety and operation of the vehicle, or is sent to this body by mail.

If the driver refuses to undergo an examination and medical examination for alcohol intoxication, he is automatically found guilty.

2.3.3. Provide a vehicle:
employees of the police, state security agencies and federal security service agencies in cases provided for by law;
medical and pharmaceutical workers to transport citizens to the nearest medical facility in cases that threaten their lives.
Note. Persons using a vehicle must, at the request of the driver, issue him a certificate of the established form or make an entry in the waybill (indicating the duration of the trip, distance traveled, his last name, position, service ID number, name of his organization), and medical and pharmaceutical workers - issue a coupon of the established form.
At the request of vehicle owners, state security authorities and federal security service authorities compensate them in accordance with the established procedure for losses, expenses or damage in accordance with the law.

The Law of the Russian Federation “On Police” gives police officers the right to use citizens’ vehicles for:

  • travel to the site of a natural disaster;
  • delivering citizens in need of urgent medical care to medical institutions;
  • pursuing persons who have committed crimes and bringing them to the police;
  • transportation of vehicles damaged in accidents;
  • traveling to the scene of an incident or gathering police personnel on alert in urgent cases.

Art. 13 clause 37 - to use, in urgent cases, vehicles belonging to state and municipal bodies, public associations and organizations (with the exception of vehicles belonging to diplomatic missions and consular offices of foreign states, representative offices of international organizations), and in exceptional cases - vehicles owned by citizens to suppress crimes, pursue persons who have committed crimes or are suspected of committing them, to deliver citizens in need of urgent medical care to medical organizations, to tow damaged vehicles from the scene of a traffic accident, to travel to to the place of the commission of a crime, administrative offense, to the scene of the incident, removing, if necessary, drivers from driving these vehicles, with compensation in the manner established by federal law at the request of vehicle owners for expenses incurred by them or material damage caused to them.

Note: the requirement does not apply to vehicles owned by diplomatic, consular and other missions of foreign states, international organizations, and special-purpose vehicles.
The need to temporarily remove a driver from driving a vehicle is determined by the police officer himself, based on the specifics of the task being performed. A police officer who uses a vehicle and takes control of it is liable as the driver of the vehicle. In the event of an accident and damage, damage is compensated in accordance with the procedure established by civil law.
By “providing” a vehicle to employees of federal state security agencies, medical workers and other persons, we do not mean the transfer of a vehicle, but the transportation and delivery of these persons, i.e. providing them with some kind of transport services.
Please keep in mind that:

  • in all cases, the driver has the right, before providing his vehicle, to demand from the persons specified in paragraph 2.3.3 of the Rules an official identification;
  • persons using vehicles, at the request of the driver, are obliged to issue a document in the established form or make an appropriate entry in the waybill;
  • expenses associated with the use of vehicles are reimbursed by the specified authorities in the prescribed manner.

2.3.4. In the event of a forced stop of a vehicle or a traffic accident outside populated areas in the dark or in conditions of limited visibility while on the roadway or side of the road, be dressed in a jacket, vest or vest-cape with stripes retroreflectivematerial that meets the requirementsGOST 12.4.281-2014.

According to traffic police statistics, many drivers get run over by cars at night; they were simply not visible.

The presence of a vest on a person on the road, especially in the dark, will help the driver to timely notice people on the road, which will significantly affect the safety of road users.


Drivers must wear reflective vests in many European countries.
Russians who regularly travel by private car to Europe probably already have vests. In Italy, Spain, Austria, Portugal, reflective capes are a mandatory requirement for motorists everywhere. Moreover, in most European countries they are supposed to be worn both at night and during the day.

2.4. The right to stop vehicles is granted to traffic controllers, as well as:
authorized officials of the Federal Service for Supervision of Transport in relation to stopping trucks and buses at transport control points specially designated by road sign 7.14;
authorized officials of customs authorities in relation to stopping vehicles, including those not carrying out international transportation of goods, in customs control zones created along the state border of the Russian Federation, and if the curb weight of the specified vehicle is 3.5 tons or more, also in other territories of the Russian Federation, determined by the legislation of the Russian Federation on customs regulation, in places specially designated by road sign 7.14.1.
Authorized officials of the Federal Service for Supervision of Transport and Customs Authorities must wear uniforms and use a disk with a red signal or a reflector to stop a vehicle. To attract the attention of vehicle drivers, these authorized officials may use a whistle signal.
Persons who have the right to stop a vehicle are required to present an official identification card upon the driver’s request.

This paragraph of the Rules defines the circle of persons who are granted the right to stop vehicles. At the request of the driver of a stopped vehicle, the persons specified in this paragraph are required to present him with an official identification card.

Workers of road maintenance services, those on duty at railway crossings and ferry crossings, although they are also traffic controllers, do not have the right to check drivers’ documents. Military traffic police officers have the right to inspect only Ministry of Defense vehicles.

Along with regulators (see commentary on this term in paragraph 1.2 of the Rules), such a right is in some cases granted to authorized officials of the Federal Service for Supervision of Transport and Customs Authorities.

Police officers have full powers to stop vehicles. An exhaustive list of grounds for stopping vehicles by police officers is determined by the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia (Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated August 23, 2017 N 664 (as amended on December 21, 2017) “ On approval of the Administrative Regulations for the execution by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation of the state function of implementing federal state supervision over compliance by road users with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of road safety "(Registered with the Ministry of Justice of Russia on October 6, 2017 N 48459).

Such grounds include, in particular: violation of traffic rules by drivers or passengers; the vehicle is wanted, as well as the presence of data on the use of the vehicle for illegal purposes; the presence of data indicating the driver’s involvement in the accident, etc.
The requirements for the actions of police officers when stopping vehicles are set out in the Administrative Regulations.

Failure by the driver to comply with the lawful request of a police officer to stop the vehicle may result in liability under the Code of Administrative Offences.

2.5. In the event of a traffic accident, the driver involved in it is obliged to immediately stop (not move) the vehicle, turn on the hazard warning lights and display an emergency stop sign in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 7.2 of the Rules, and not move objects related to the incident. When on the roadway, the driver must take precautions.

2.6. If people are killed or injured as a result of a traffic accident, the driver involved in it is obliged to:
take measures to provide first aid to victims, call emergency medical services and the police;
in emergency cases, send the victims along the way, and if this is not possible, deliver them in your vehicle to the nearest medical facility, provide your last name, registration plate of the vehicle (with presentation of an identification document or driver's license and registration document for the vehicle) and return to the scene of the incident;
clear the roadway if the movement of other vehicles is impossible, having previously recorded, including by means of photography or video recording, the position of the vehicles in relation to each other and road infrastructure, traces and objects related to the incident, and take all possible measures to eliminate them preservation and organization of a detour to the scene of the incident;
write down the names and addresses of eyewitnesses and wait for the police to arrive.

2.6.1. If, as a result of a traffic accident, damage is caused only to property, the driver involved in it is obliged to clear the roadway if the movement of other vehicles is obstructed, having previously recorded by any possible means, including by means of photography or video recording, the position of the vehicles in relation to to each other and road infrastructure, traces and objects related to the incident, and damage to vehicles.
Drivers involved in such a traffic accident are not required to report the incident to the police and can leave the scene of the traffic accident if, in accordance with the legislation on compulsory civil liability insurance of vehicle owners, paperwork about the traffic accident can be carried out without participation authorized police officers.
If, in accordance with the legislation on compulsory civil liability insurance of vehicle owners, documents regarding a traffic accident cannot be completed without the participation of authorized police officers, the driver involved in it is obliged to write down the names and addresses of eyewitnesses and report the incident to the police for receiving instructions from a police officer about the location of the registration of a traffic accident.

The first and most important thing a driver must do after marking the scene of an accident is to determine whether there are victims or not. If there are victims, then such an accident is registered only with the participation of police officers.

The actions that a driver involved in an accident must take must be carried out in the exact sequence as outlined and as quickly as possible. If, in addition to the driver, there are passengers or other persons at the scene of the accident who can provide assistance, they should also be involved, for example, to call an ambulance, report the accident to the police, etc.

Pay attention to the correctness of the protocol and diagram of the accident, since the primary documents have significant “weight” in the further analysis of the incident in the traffic police department. Of course, it will be possible to supplement what was written and signed earlier, but you will no longer be able to correct the primary documents.

After an incident, the main thing is not to get lost. Immediately turn off the ignition, if possible, disconnect the battery and shut off the fuel line. If there is a fire, throw out the first aid kit, fire extinguisher, blankets, and blankets from the car. In case of intense fire there is a risk of explosion, so immediately move at least 50 m away from the vehicle. If the fire is not severe, shake the fire extinguisher, carefully open the hood (usually the fire starts in the engine compartment) and direct the fire extinguisher stream there. Do not open the hood completely! Firstly, the air flow will intensify the combustion, and secondly, the flame can hit you in the face. Remember! You cannot extinguish gasoline with water. You need to use a special car fire extinguisher, as well as sand, blankets, and clothing. The car burns out completely in 5-7 minutes.

If the car fell into the water, then in this case, on the contrary, there is nowhere to rush. Wait calmly while the car is submerged in water for a few minutes. You have enough time to understand which side the car is on the ground, unfasten the seat belts, unlock the door locks, reassure fellow travelers by explaining to them that exit is possible only after the interior is almost completely flooded. Otherwise the doors cannot be opened. Next, take in more air into your chest, lower the door windows, and when the interior is completely filled with water, open the doors. If the doors are jammed, climb out through the window.

If a traffic accident occurs involving your and another vehicle, do not lose your composure, even if you think that it is not you, but the other driver, who is to blame for the incident, act in accordance with the traffic rules.

Onlookers like to gather around colliding cars. They will watch your reaction. Don't give them pleasure with loud arguments. Usually a road traffic accident is a collective misfortune, and it is possible that some of your fault is involved. Behave properly. By giving free rein to your emotions, you can lose control of the situation and miss important circumstances and details.

You are required to hand over your driver’s license and vehicle documents to the traffic police officers who arrive at the scene of the incident. Do not invent any legends about the causes of the accident.

Registration of an accident without the participation of police officers (Euro protocol)

The notification of an accident consists of two forms for one-time completion in relation to both drivers involved in an accident, as well as instructions on how to draw up a Euro protocol in case of an accident. For each side (the culprit and the victim), there are 18 points to fill out on the front side. You should enter the data with a ballpoint pen and apply pressure, since the top page is self-copying. On the back of the form there are 7 more points, which each driver fills out independently.

The basic rules and procedure for drawing up the Euro Protocol in case of an accident consist of the following points:

  • First, you need to assess the situation regarding harm to life and health of road users (pedestrians, passengers and drivers). People should not have any injuries;
  • The accident was caused by the interaction of two vehicles;
  • Damage was caused exclusively to vehicles (fences, buildings and other property were not damaged);
  • The liability of persons who participated in an accident is insured under the MTPL or Green Card system;
  • Drivers have no disagreement regarding damage.

If all these rules are followed, then you can move on to the question of how to independently draw up and fill out the Europrotocol.

  • In the first paragraph, we indicate the location of the accident with the exact address, starting from the republic and region, ending with the street and house number. If you don’t know the exact address, you can ask people passing by or look at the navigator.
  • Point two asks you to indicate the date of the accident and the exact time.
  • In the third paragraph, we indicate with a number the number of damaged cars.
  • The next paragraph indicates the number of victims (injured) and/or dead.
  • In the fifth paragraph, we note whether an examination for alcohol intoxication was carried out or not.
  • Next, we note whether damage was caused to other vehicles and whether any other property was damaged.
  • In the seventh paragraph we indicate witnesses to the accident (full name and place of residence). If they are absent, then we write “No witnesses.”
  • In paragraph 8, we note whether the scene of the accident was registered by a traffic police officer, and if so, then indicate the number of his badge.

In paragraphs 9 to 15, each driver must fill out the item regarding their vehicle, and it does not matter who chooses columns “A” and “B”.

  • So, in paragraph 9 we indicate the make and model of the vehicle, as well as the identification number (VIN), state registration plate and STS data.
  • Next, indicate the full name of the owner of the car and his address. If this is a legal entity, then its full name.
  • In paragraph 11, we indicate the details of the vehicle driver: full name, date of birth, residence address, telephone number, series and number of the driver's license, open categories, date of issue of the driver's license, document for the right to own (use, dispose of) the vehicle.
  • In the next paragraph, we indicate the name of the insurer, the series and number of the insurance policy, its validity period, and also indicate whether the vehicle is insured against damage.
  • Next, we indicate with an arrow (→) the place of the initial impact in relation to the affected vehicles, and not the parts that are damaged. Choose the vehicle you were using at the time of the impact.
  • In paragraph 14, the nature of damage to parts and assemblies should be described as accurately and briefly as possible. When describing damage, the following characteristics should be used: scratch, dent (deformation), rupture (crack).
  • In the next paragraph we indicate the additions that you could not indicate in the next paragraph. Also, if you think that the second driver is indicating inaccurate circumstances or simply refuses to sign the notice on his part, then this information should also be indicated here.
  • In paragraph 16, we note the circumstances of the accident in relation to each vehicle and indicate in numbers at the very bottom the total number of points marked. It is very important to correctly note the vehicle's maneuvers. Parking is not a stop, therefore, if you are stopped at a traffic light, then mark not position 1, but position 22. When overtaking while changing lanes from one lane to another, you should mark two points at once - 12 and 13.
  • The next step is to draw a diagram of the accident. This is probably why many people don’t take on the task of filing an accident on their own. You have a window in which you should indicate the name of the streets, the trajectory of the vehicles, the position of the vehicle during the collision, and of course their location. Do not forget to indicate the presence of traffic lights, road signs, road markings, and, if possible, signs of braking, skidding, fragments, debris, dirt, etc.

In paragraph 18, the drivers of both parties sign, thereby confirming that they have no disagreements.

The front side is filled out with the driver at the scene of the accident. The back part can be filled out in the near future, but it is still advisable to do this also at the scene of the accident.

  • In paragraph 1, mark the vehicle “A” or “B” in accordance with the column that you selected on the front side of the notice.
  • In paragraph 2, he describes in detail the circumstances of the accident, indicating the address of the accident, vehicle model and license plate numbers. The more accurate the information, the easier it will be for insurers to understand the situation.
  • In paragraph 3, we note who was driving - the owner or another person.
  • Further information is provided only if more than 2 vehicles were involved in the accident. Enter the make, model of the vehicle, state registration. number, full name of the driver and owner of the vehicle, address, telephone number, insurance company name, series and policy number, as well as all other similar information in accordance with paragraphs 1 - 18 on the front side of the form.
  • If other property besides the vehicle was damaged, then paragraph 5 indicates what kind of property was damaged and who owns it.
  • In the next section, we note whether the vehicle can move under its own power, and if not, indicate its location.
  • In paragraph 7 we indicate additional notes that you consider necessary.

If you do not have enough space on the back side to indicate all the information, then you can do this on a blank sheet of paper, where it will be indicated what it is attached to, by whom it was drawn up and certified with your signature, and for legal entities with a seal, and on the back side notifications, check the box “With attachment”.

To roughly understand what we have just told you about, we present to your attention an example of how to correctly draw up a European Road Accident Protocol:

2.7. The driver is prohibited from:
drive a vehicle while intoxicated (alcohol, drugs or other), under the influence of medications that impair reaction and attention, in a sick or tired state that jeopardizes traffic safety;
transfer control of a vehicle to persons who are intoxicated, under the influence of medications, in a sick or tired state, as well as to persons who do not have a driver’s license to drive a vehicle of the appropriate category or subcategory, except for cases of driving training in accordance with section 21 Rules;
cross organized (including foot) columns and take a place in them;
consume alcoholic beverages, narcotic, psychotropic or other intoxicating substances after a traffic accident in which he is involved, or after the vehicle was stopped at the request of a police officer, before an examination to determine the state of intoxication or before a decision on release is made from carrying out such an examination;
drive a vehicle in violation of the work and rest regime established by the authorized federal executive body, and when carrying out international road transport - by international treaties of the Russian Federation;
use a telephone while driving that is not equipped with a technical device that allows hands-free negotiations;
dangerous driving, expressed in the repeated performance of one or several consecutive actions, consisting of failure to comply with the requirement to give way to a vehicle using the right of way when changing lanes, changing lanes in heavy traffic when all lanes are occupied, except when turning left or right , turning, stopping or driving around an obstacle, failure to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle moving in front, failure to maintain a lateral interval, sudden braking, if such braking is not required to prevent a traffic accident, obstruction of overtaking, if these actions resulted in the driver creating a situation in the process of traffic , in which its movement and (or) the movement of other road users in the same direction and at the same speed creates a threat of death or injury to people, damage to vehicles, structures, cargo or other material damage.

Under the influence of alcohol, attention decreases, reaction time increases, and coordination of movements worsens. Drug or other intoxication leads to the same consequences. The rules prohibit drivers from driving while intoxicated, and the law provides for increased liability for this violation. To bring to justice, it does not matter what state of intoxication the driver is in (alcohol, drugs or other).

The likelihood of an accident increases when driving in a sick state, in a state of fatigue, as well as as a result of the use of certain medications that reduce the driver’s attention, coordination, and reaction. As a rule, the doctor who prescribes the medicine to the patient, or the pharmacists who dispense the medicine, inform about the possible side effects when taking a particular drug. In case of fatigue or illness, the driver is obliged to stop further movement and rest (until this condition ceases).

Responsibility for driving a vehicle while intoxicated, as well as for transferring control of a vehicle to a person in a state of intoxication, is provided for by the Code of Administrative Offenses.

To bring liability for transfer of control, it is necessary to establish the fact that the person who transferred control knew that the person who took over control of the vehicle was intoxicated.
It is also prohibited to transfer control of a vehicle to a person who is ill, tired, or under the influence of medications that reduce the driver’s attention, coordination and reaction.

The driver transferring control to another person must ensure that this person is authorized to drive the vehicle and has the appropriate driving license (except for instructional driving in accordance with section 21 of the Regulations).

Transferring control of a vehicle to a person who does not have the right to drive entails an administrative penalty.

The rules prohibit drivers from consuming alcoholic beverages, narcotic or psychotropic substances until certain circumstances occur. Thus, it is prohibited to consume these drinks and substances after an accident, as well as after a vehicle is stopped at the request of a police officer until an examination for intoxication is carried out or until a decision is made to exempt from such an examination.

This ban is aimed at eliminating the possibility of a driver evading responsibility for driving a vehicle while intoxicated.

In accordance with Article 8 of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation “On state control over the implementation of international road transport and on liability for violation of the procedure for their implementation,” vehicle drivers are required to comply with the work and rest regime established by the international treaty of the Russian Federation on the work of crews of vehicles carrying out international road transport.

In the Regulations on State Control approved by the Government of the Russian Federation
control over the implementation of international road transport in the section “Rules for carrying out transport control” it is established that when carrying out transport control over these transports, officials of the Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Transport of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation, along with checking control devices (tachographs) for recording work and rest regimes, filling out tachograms or, in established cases, keeping drivers’ daily registration sheets of the work and rest regime, checking the drivers’ compliance with this regime.

This provision of the Rules refers to cases where the driver properly records his work and rest schedule, but at the same time, by his behavior, violates the established standards and thereby creates, due to physical fatigue, conditions for committing road accidents that threaten life and health both the driver himself and other persons, as well as those that can cause significant material damage to the cargo carrier.

Violation of the work and rest regime by vehicle drivers during international road transport entails liability in the form of a fine.

The application of this penalty falls within the competence of officials of Rostransnadzor of the Ministry of Transport of Russia.

The ban on using a telephone while driving is due to the fact that during negotiations the driver’s attention is distracted and it becomes difficult to control the vehicle, which often leads to traffic accidents.

In most foreign countries there is a similar ban.

However, this prohibition does not apply to cases where the vehicle is equipped with a technical device that allows negotiations without the use of hands.

Dangerous driving

Failure to comply with the requirement to give way when changing lanes in the presence of such a requirement (violation of clause 8.4 of the Rules)

Changing lanes during heavy traffic without the need to perform a maneuver (violation of clause 9.4 of the Rules)

Failure to maintain a safe distance (violation of clause 9.10 of the Rules)

Failure to comply with the safe interval (violation of clause 9.10 of the Rules)

Sharp braking (violation of clause 10.5 of the Rules)

Obstruction of overtaking (violation of clause 11.3 of the Rules)

As you can see, the essence of dangerous driving is a violation of certain points of the Rules. Violation of one of these points one after another (for example, changing lanes + sharp braking), or violation of one of these points sequentially more than once (for example, changing lanes during heavy traffic - form part of dangerous driving.

The second component is formed if the combination of the above violations of the Rules creates a threat of an accident. Only if these conditions are met will driving be dangerous.

For the driver, like for any other employee of the enterprise, a job description is provided. This document regulates the list of duties, rights and responsibilities of drivers. And although it does not relate to the mandatory regulatory acts of the enterprise, lawyers recommend that the provisions and clauses in this document be spelled out as accurately and carefully as possible so that in the future there is no possibility of double interpretation.

Why do you need a driver's job description?

A job description is important not only for ordinary employees of an enterprise, but also for management. It makes it possible to coordinate the relationship between the employer and subordinates, clearly defining the work functionality and responsibility of drivers. In conflict situations when judicial intervention is required to resolve a dispute, the job description serves as evidence of the presence or absence of guilt on the part of the employee or employer.

Basic rules for drawing up a driver’s job description

There is no standard, universally accepted form of driver job description, so companies can develop and approve it independently. Since there is no single standard, in different organizations employees in the same position can perform different functions, but their main responsibilities should be similar. The driver's job description usually includes the following parts:

  • "General Provisions"
  • "Job Responsibilities"
  • "Rights",
  • "Responsibility".

If necessary or at the will of management, other items may be added to it.

The preparation of job descriptions is usually done by the company’s lawyer or a specialist in the personnel department. It is being drawn up in one copy, but if there are several drivers at the enterprise, then its copies are printed in the required quantity.

Each driver must be familiar with the document, and he must also put his signature under it, which will indicate that the employee agrees with its contents.

The job description must also be certified by the driver’s immediate supervisor or the person responsible for the implementation of the norms and rules specified in it. The head of the enterprise must also sign the document.

Drawing up a driver's job description

At the very top of the job description, on the right, space should be left for the resolution of the head of the organization. The form for it is standard: here you need to enter his position (general director, director), name of the company, last name, first name, patronymic, and also leave a signature line with a mandatory decoding and put the date of approval. Then in the middle of the line you need to write the name of the document.

Main sections

In the first section called "General provisions" First, you should note which category of workers the driver belongs to (worker, technical staff, specialist, etc.), then indicate who he reports to and who replaces him if necessary (here it is enough to indicate the positions of authorized employees, without last names) . Next, the document contains the qualification requirements for the driver (specialization, education, additional professional training), as well as the required work experience and length of service. It is also worth indicating on the basis of what documents the driver is appointed and removed from the position.

Then in the same section below you need to list all the rules, laws, orders, regulations that the driver must be familiar with, as well as the requirements for knowledge of the car.

Second part "Duty Responsibilities of a Driver" concerns directly the instructions that are assigned to him. They need to be written down in as much detail and clearly as possible, taking into account the characteristics of the enterprise where the driver works.

Chapter "Rights" includes the powers vested in the driver to perform his or her job effectively. Here you can separately indicate his right to various initiatives, including interaction with management and other departments of the organization when such a need arises, as well as the right to participate in internal company events and additional training.

In chapter "Responsibility" Violations for which the employer has the right to subject the driver to penalties are clearly established. It should be noted here that the driver is personally responsible for the safety of the car and its parts, as well as compliance with labor regulations and safety standards.

After registration, the document must be agreed upon with a senior (above the driver) employee of the organization (either the immediate supervisor or a person authorized to monitor compliance with the rules and regulations prescribed in the job description). Here you should enter his position, name of the organization, last name, first name, patronymic, and also put a signature with a transcript.

Please indicate below driver information: his last name, first name, patronymic (in full), again the name of the organization, passport details, signature and date of familiarization with the document. There is no need to certify the job description with a seal, since it refers to internal documents of the enterprise.

1. The driver of a mechanical vehicle must have with him, and at the request of police officers, hand over to them for inspection:

Driver's license
certificate

  • a driver's license of the category that corresponds to the category of the vehicle. Vehicles of category A include motorcycles, and vehicles of category B include cars and trucks with a permissible maximum weight of no more than 3.5 tons, in which the number of passenger seats provided for by design is no more than eight;
  • registration documents (registration certificate) for the vehicle, and if there is a trailer, also for the trailer;
  • insurance policy of compulsory motor third party liability insurance (MTPL);
  • in specially specified cases - other documents provided for by the Rules.

Buckle up
safety belt

2. When driving a vehicle, be wearing a seat belt and ensure that passengers, including those riding in the rear seats of a car, also wear their seat belts.

When driving a motorcycle, wear a fastened motorcycle helmet and do not carry passengers without a fastened motorcycle helmet.

3. Before leaving, check and ensure that your vehicle is in good technical condition on the way.

4. At the request of police officers, undergo an examination for intoxication, which can be carried out at the place of the stop or in a drug laboratory.

5. Provide your vehicle in cases provided for by law:

  • police officers;
  • employees of federal state security agencies;
  • FSB employees;
  • medical and pharmaceutical workers to transport citizens to the nearest medical facility in cases that threaten their lives.

The right to stop a vehicle is granted to traffic controllers. Persons who have the right to stop a vehicle are required to present a service ID or license plate upon the driver’s request.

The driver is prohibited

Vehicle management in
drunk

  • drive a vehicle in a state of alcohol, drugs or other intoxication, under the influence of medications that impair attention and slow reaction, in a painful or tired state that jeopardizes traffic safety;
  • transfer control to persons in such a state;
  • use intoxicating substances between the commission of an accident and the passage of an examination for intoxication, or between a stop for the purpose of conducting an examination and its implementation;
  • transfer control to persons who do not have a driver’s license or are not included in the MTPL insurance policy;
  • cross organized transport and foot columns and take place in them;
  • drive a vehicle in violation of the work and rest schedule;
  • use while driving a telephone that is not equipped with a “hand-free” technical device that allows you to negotiate without using your hands.

Driver's actions in case of an accident

In case of a traffic accident with injured or killed, the driver involved in it is obliged to:

Post a sign
emergency stop

  1. Stop immediately, turn on your hazard lights and display a warning triangle. Do not move objects related to the incident.
  2. Call an ambulance or rescuers (from a mobile phone - call 112). Before their arrival, provide first aid to the victims. In exceptional cases, it is allowed to send the victims to the nearest medical facility in a passing vehicle or in their own vehicle. In the latter case, after delivering the victim to the hospital, the participant in the accident is obliged to return to the scene of the accident.
  3. Report the incident to the police (from a mobile phone - call 112). Write down the names and addresses of eyewitnesses and wait for the police to arrive. The roadway can only be cleared upon command from the police. However, if the movement of other vehicles is impossible, then the driver must record in the presence of witnesses all traces and objects related to the incident and organize a detour around them. After this, you can clear the roadway.
  4. Notify your insurance company about the accident. After registering an accident, police officers, together with other participants in the incident, fill out a Notice of Road Accident. Subsequently, the completed notice is submitted to the insurance company along with documents prepared by the police:
    • a copy of the accident certificate;
    • a copy of the protocol on the administrative offense;
    • a copy of the resolution in the case of an administrative offense.

In case of an accident without injuries, steps 1, 3 and 4 must be followed. Before the police arrive, you should carefully inspect the scene of the accident and the damage to your vehicle.

The information you collect can be very useful when filing an accident.

If there are no victims in an accident and there are no disagreements between its participants, then instead of calling the traffic police, it is allowed to independently come to the nearest traffic police post or police department with a road accident diagram drawn up and signed by both participants.

Since the road accident diagram is evidence in a traffic accident case, you can sign it only after making sure that everything depicted on the diagram corresponds to reality.

If only two vehicles are involved in an accident without casualties, the owners of which have valid MTPL policies, and there are no disagreements about the circumstances of the incident and the nature of the damage caused, it is permissible not to involve police officers in registering the incident, but to confine oneself to filling out an Accident Notice so that the insurance company compensates the victim harm caused.

At the same time, the victim must keep in mind that with a simplified registration procedure, the maximum possible amount of compensation is 25 thousand rubles. If the preliminary assessment of the damage caused exceeds this amount, it is necessary to register an accident with the involvement of traffic police officers.

Passenger Responsibilities

1. Passengers are obliged to:

  • when traveling in a vehicle, wear seat belts, and when riding a motorcycle, wear a fastened motorcycle helmet;
  • boarding and disembarking from the car should be done from the sidewalk or curb and only after a complete stop. Boarding and disembarking from the side of the roadway is permitted provided that it is safe for the passenger and does not interfere with other road users.

2. Passengers are prohibited from:

  • distract the driver while driving;
  • when traveling on a truck with a flatbed, stand, sit on the sides or on a load above the sides;
  • open the doors of the vehicle while it is moving.

Responsibilities of pedestrians

  1. Pedestrians must walk on sidewalks, verges or footpaths. In the absence of sidewalks, pedestrian paths and roadsides, pedestrians can move in one row along the edge of the roadway towards the movement of vehicles.
  2. Pedestrians must cross the roadway at pedestrian crossings, and if there are none, at intersections along a line that continues the line of the sidewalk or curb. At unregulated pedestrian crossings and intersections, pedestrians can enter the roadway only after assessing the distance to approaching vehicles and their speed, and making sure that crossing the road will be safe for them.
    If there is no crossing or intersection in the visibility zone, it is allowed to cross the road strictly across the roadway, provided that the road section does not have a dividing strip or fences and is clearly visible in both directions.
  3. In places where traffic is regulated, pedestrians must follow the signals of the traffic light or traffic controller.
  4. If a vehicle with special signals (blue flashing light and siren) is approaching the place where a pedestrian is crossing the road, then the pedestrian must refrain from crossing. A pedestrian who is already on the roadway at this moment must immediately clear it without interfering with a special vehicle.
  5. Waiting for a tram, trolleybus, bus, minibus and regular taxi is allowed only on landing platforms, and in their absence - on the sidewalk or on the side of the road. It is permitted to enter the roadway to board a vehicle only after it has stopped (this requirement also applies to boarding a tram that has stopped in the middle of the roadway).
