Is prohibited the overtaking on the road section where a column of vehicles in waiting has formed, if through this one enters onto the opposite direction of traffic. The road traffic legislation provides two sanctions in connection with this prohibition:

• overtaking on the road section where a column of vehicles in waiting has formed, if through this one enters onto the opposite direction of traffic constitutes contravention and is sanctioned with the fine provided in class III of sanctions and with the suspension of the exercise of the right to drive for a period of 60 days;
• overtaking a column of vehicles stopped at the red colour of the traffic light or at level crossings with the current railway constitutes contravention and is sanctioned with contravention fine provided in class II of sanctions and with the suspension of the exercise of the right to drive for a period of 30 days.
