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

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