On the highway, sometimes truly serious mistakes are made, which at the time seem to be trivial, but which can even put one’s life and that of others at risk.
Among these errors, there is a reversal on the highwaya, something unthinkable, that someone gets to do, without even understanding the gravity of the action.
As a result of this maneuver, a tragedy was touched upon on the A10 motorway in Genoa right near the airport. 2 people made a U-turn and caused panic. But this was not the only incident, two more happened on the same day, of the same type.
Dramas on the highway, this is what happened on August 23 in Liguria
The episodes take us back to August 23 at 8pm. The driver of a truck made a U-turn on the motorway, just before entering a tunnel. The very dangerous maneuver, put other cars at risk, also because the truck had about 18 meters of trailer.
On the same day at 11pm an SUV made the same maneuver, occupying the normal lane and the other, cutting two lanes and putting a considerable number of motorists, drivers and motorcyclists at risk.
These two offenses cannot be considered exclusively as such. They are also valid proof that some motorists are totally irresponsible. Following what happened, the policemen opened dossiers to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, to the court of Genoa, holding those responsible for the incidents, of dangerous subjects who have attacked public safety.
Fines to be paid in the event of a reversal on the motorway or misconduct, which go beyond the law
Who violates the reverse ban or crossing the traffic island, therefore those who circulate against the senses, receive a penalty ranging from 2,046 to 8,186 euros. In addition, 10 points are also deducted from the license, there is a risk of the revocation of the same or the administrative detention of the vehicle for three months. Reversing is punished with a fine of from 430 euros to 1,731 euros. In this case you risk losing 10 points from your driving license. In the last two cases, the pecuniary sanction increases by 1/3, if the infringement is committed from 10 pm onwards. Finally, you have the option to pay 30% less if you pay the fine within 5 days of notification.
Obviously these rules, such as reversing the direction of travel or reverse they do not apply to everyone. These maneuvers can be carried out by police motor vehicles, ambulances and police forces, as long as with the utmost caution, by activating the flashing yellow light device to warn other users on the road.
