Sávelhagyás

Sávelhagyás refers to the act of a vehicle deviating from its designated lane on a roadway. This typically occurs when a vehicle crosses the lane markings without the intention or necessity of changing lanes, such as to overtake another vehicle or to turn. In many jurisdictions, sávelhagyás is considered a traffic violation due to the potential dangers it poses.

The reasons for sávelhagyás can vary. Driver inattention, fatigue, distraction from mobile devices, or even medical emergencies can lead to unintentional lane departure. Mechanical issues with the vehicle, such as steering problems, might also contribute. In some cases, drivers may intentionally cross lane markings for aggressive driving behaviors, like cutting off other vehicles or making unsafe maneuvers.

The consequences of sávelhagyás can range from minor inconveniences to severe accidents. Unintended lane departure can result in sideswipes with other vehicles, collisions with oncoming traffic, or leaving the roadway altogether, potentially leading to rollovers or crashes into roadside objects. Traffic laws generally prohibit sávelhagyás unless it is done safely and within the bounds of traffic regulations, such as during a lane change. Enforcement often involves traffic citations and fines. Advanced driver-assistance systems in modern vehicles, such as lane departure warning and lane keeping assist, are designed to mitigate the risk of sávelhagyás.
