This often happened to people in war. For example, a shell (grenade) exploded next to a soldier - and he saw in all details how incredibly slowly, as if in slow motion, the shell of the ammunition was cracking, and fiery sparks were bursting out of it. And while the shell exploded very slowly, this lucky one managed to hide from danger. Imagine, in just a fraction of a second!
This happens today, for example, in such dangerous areas as roads.
This story happened in 1992. in the UK with mother and son Wheeler. They were driving in a car around the city of Coventry when the car's tire burst. Subsequently, the woman said that she remembered every little detail, every moment. When the tire burst, the car was thrown sharply off the road and crashed into a fence. Slowly the pickets began to break, and suddenly one board, bent, broke through the windshield opposite the driver's seat, where the son was sitting. The sharp end of the picket fence was pointed at the guy's chest. Mrs. Wheeler was stunned, but then her son suddenly bent down. A sharp stake pierced the seat. Bob Wheeler also noted time dilation. It froze at the moment when the sharpened edge of the picket fence rushed into the guy’s chest. This allowed him to easily dodge the fatal blow.
What saved the woman: time standing still or something more?
But what happened in 1998? with a resident of the village of Priozerny (Leningrad region) N. Nikitina.
The woman was crossing the street and somehow lost sight of the fact that drivers at this intersection usually increase their speed. As she ran, she realized that she would not have time to avoid being hit by a truck rushing towards her. That's when time slowed down for her. The woman expected a terrible blow, but it never came. She couldn't run faster.
Then the truck, just as terribly slowly, ran over the woman, and time seemed to stop completely. At the same time, Nikitina’s speed of thinking remained the same: the woman was clearly aware that she was finished, and at the same time was shocked by the terrifying smoothness of what was happening to her...
Then consciousness turned off - instantly and completely. And when the woman woke up, she saw that she was lying on the asphalt in the kolobok position. A frightened truck driver ran up and helped her up. Only then did Nikitina discover that she was quite far from the car that hit her. The consequences of the collision were a hematoma on the thigh (where the blow landed), as well as slightly scratched knees and palms.
The woman still didn’t understand who told her to roll on the asphalt, properly grouped, so as not to get run over by the wheels. After all, this was the only opportunity to escape. Who helped at the critical moment, when consciousness completely switched off, paralyzed by horror?..
Time stopped only for Golomolzin
Geologist E. Golomolzin spoke about an interesting incident that occurred in Bashkiria. Their detachment was planning to move to another work area, but on the very day of departure the weather turned bad. It began to rain, which gave way to large hail. Ice pellets hit the geological GAZ-66 loaded with field equipment and mined samples. The mountain road passed along the edge of the abyss. The crushed stone mixed with mud was a very unreliable “road surface”, so the wheels kept slipping...
In case of sudden evacuation, people sat near the cabin itself; the canvas awning in front was folded back. Golomolzin says that he did not record the moment when this happened, but he heard how the hysterical howls of the engine suddenly gave way to a monotonous roar. Looking at the road, the man saw that during an uphill turn, the truck began to very slowly drift towards the cliff.
The wheels of the car were spinning madly, but the GAZ itself seemed to be standing still, but in reality it was crawling millimeter by millimeter towards the edge of the abyss. The geologist decided it was time to jump. The fantastic slowness of the action gave rise to the confidence that you can do everything, even jumping to the ground and going around a truck sliding off the road several times...
Golomolzin looked back at his fellow travelers. They sat with motionless faces and looked far ahead. They didn’t seem to see or understand that a catastrophe could happen now. “Why are they delaying?” - Golomolzin thought with despair. He also managed to note that at that moment he did not feel either hail or rain...
Suddenly the sound of the running engine changed, a new, bass note appeared in it, and the truck began to slowly move away from the edge of the abyss, where sheer cliffs were already visible. Before the man had time to catch his breath, he was hit by the roar of hailstones hitting the car.
When the geologists got to the place, it turned out that, except for Golomolzin, none of them noticed or survived the critical situation. That is, the car really rushed towards the cliff, but the driver immediately turned on the second drive and easily brought it onto the road.
How time dilation saved a boy
Here's what Vitaly Ch. said about time dilation.
This was around 1970. Vitalik and his grandfather Stepan were returning home. The grandfather had already crossed the road, but something delayed the boy. Then the grandfather, with a gesture of his hand, ordered Vitalik to stop. He did not listen and rushed across the road. The boy was almost next to his grandfather when he suddenly realized that he had lost his sandal.
What happened next happened purely automatically. Vitalik turned around and ran back. In the middle of the road he picked up his sandal and returned. The boy understood that he was committing a deadly, unforgivable stupidity. By the way, out of the corner of his eye, while running, he noticed how a car flying towards him stopped, and then, as soon as the boy ran away, it whistled past at the same high speed. In reality, everything happened so quickly that the grandfather did not even notice how his grandson crossed the road...
... There are thousands of similar cases, and this suggests that time is not at all what we imagine it to be. Everyone has probably noticed that, depending on the situation, time can stretch out greatly or, on the contrary, run at a gallop. However, as we have seen from the above, it can stop or almost stop for an individual, thereby allowing him to avoid a tragic outcome. But here’s the question: does a person himself slow down time, or is it done by Higher Powers, for example, a Guardian Angel? It seems that while our scientists are silent on this matter (what else can they do?), everyone can answer this question the way they like best...
Video: When time stops...
I stopped under the sign “parking for the disabled” to load my luggage without turning off the car. An inspector arrived and drew up a protocol under Article 12.19, part 2. Are the inspector’s actions legal?
Of course they are legal. Is there such a clause in the traffic rules that stopping (parking) is allowed “to load luggage without turning off the car” in the area covered by the “parking for the disabled” sign?
and if on the sign the car is parked with its back to the curb, and I parked in front, then they can get a parking fine for this?
Magomed-4
Good day! I drove up to the clinic and stopped the car near the main entrance on the roadway, dropped my mother off and walked her to the entrance, the car was started, the headlights and emergency lights were on, the time took no more than 5 minutes, the car was not taken away, but a fine of 1,500 rubles came, with adjacent photo-fixation, in the photo you can see that the lights are on. Are the actions of the traffic police officers lawful and is it possible to appeal the actions of the employees in court, based on Article 24.5 (clause 3), could this be an extreme necessity given the fact that the mother is a disabled person of group 1, of course there is a certificate of disability. Or are there any other alternatives to appealing this fine. Thank you!
Oleg, this maneuver will be a violation of the rules. The punishment for it is provided for in Part 1 of Article 12.19 of the Administrative Code - a warning or 500 rubles.
Can only be used if the vehicle is causing interference to other vehicles. In the situation you described, the likelihood of evacuation is low.
Good luck on the roads!
Magomed, Hello.
The likelihood of successfully appealing the specified fine is very small.
For the future. Since your mother is disabled, you have the right to install a “Disabled Person” identification sign on your car when transporting her. It will allow you to park your car in a designated space for disabled people. As a rule, such places are located close to the entrance to the clinic.
Good luck on the roads!

Good afternoon.
The situation, on the right side there is a stop sign and parking is prohibited, on the reverse side of this sign there is a similar sign, i.e., on the left side of the road, I passed the sign on the left side, turned around and parked the car on the right side of the road before reaching the sign, parking , stopping, prohibited, in the direction of traffic, a traffic police inspector came up and explained that the sign on the back side is also prohibitive and it doesn’t matter that the car is parked in the direction of traffic, i.e., on the right side, although the sign doesn’t seem to be visible, or more precisely it’s not visible at all, but it works like the prohibitory sign that stands on the right side.
Is it legal to punish the traffic police inspector, arguing that the warrior must look at both the right and left sides?
Alexander-312
Good afternoon.
The situation is this - there is a road with two rows in both directions, the only marking is a double solid one, which is not visible in winter due to the snow, you can’t stand at the curb due to a poorly cleared roadway, if you park as close as possible to the right, then the solid road is less than 3 meters (1.5 meters). Is parking like this a traffic violation?
Basil, Hello.
In this case, you saw the sign on the left side and stopped within its coverage area. So the punishment was rightfully imposed. Most likely, there is another “no stopping” sign on this section of the road, but you didn’t get to it.
Good luck on the roads!
Alexander, Hello.
If the marking is not visible, then it is impossible to measure the distance to it. In the described situation, the driver stops at the right edge of the roadway in accordance with traffic regulations.
Good luck on the roads!
Evgenia-38
Good afternoon. Please tell me, I received a fine for stopping where there is a stop sign and parking is prohibited, the violation interval is one second. Is it considered stopping a vehicle in an interval of 1 second?
Evgenia-38
No, no alarm
On the street where I live there is a residential zone sign. Drivers constantly park their cars on the sidewalk at night and during the day. There are no parking signs. When asked to remove the cars, I react rudely - I don’t see the sidewalk, I saw you go another way..... Traffic police, they will come and leave and stuff like that. Is this legal? How to deal with this?
Call a tow truck and the traffic police. The traffic police are required to record the violation, and the tow truck is required to take the car to the impound lot. In case of inaction, complain to higher authorities.
Chimka. Let them put it in garages - if there is no garage - let them buy it - just like you advise me to buy a house. Where should we go? Climbing bushes? We have parking lots. It's not enough for them.
Nikolay-66
Maxim, I want to ask you a question that I can’t find the answer to anywhere.
Namely: is it prohibited or permitted, in accordance with clause 12.2 paragraph 4 of the Traffic Regulations of the Russian Federation, to stop or park ALL vehicles in places marked with sign 6.4 and plate 8.6.4 or 8.6.5?
Paragraph 4 of clause 12.2 reads: “Parking on the edge of the sidewalk....is permitted ONLY for passenger cars, motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles, in places marked with sign 6.4 with one of the signs 8.4.7, 8.6.2, 8.6.3 ,____, ____, 8.6.6-8.6.9" (note that plates 8.6.4 and 8.6.5 are not included in this rule).
Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 do not answer this question, since they are talking about any vehicles.
Thus, it turns out that with the combination of sign 6.4 and plates 8.6.4 or 8.6.5, parking of ALL vehicles is not prohibited? Am I right in my reasoning?
With respect, Nicholai.
The paragraph is dedicated to parking on the edge of the sidewalk. Signs 8.6.4 and 8.6.5 indicate the method of placement outside the sidewalk, therefore they are not mentioned in this paragraph. The method of installation outside the sidewalk is described in the previous paragraph, where signs 8.6.1 - 8.6.9 are mentioned without exception. In addition, additional restrictions on the type of vehicle are contained in the description of the signs themselves 8.6.2 - 8.6.9: "8.6.2 - 8.6.9 indicate the method of parking cars and motorcycles in a sidewalk parking lot."
Thus, in total it turns out that if 6.4 is equipped with plate 8.6.1, then any vehicle can be parked. If there is a plate 8.6.2 - 8.6.9, then only cars and motorcycles can be installed in this way. Moreover, although this is not directly stated in the traffic rules, the position of the current authorities is that in the coverage area of plates 8.6.2 - 8.6.9, other types of vehicles cannot be parked at all, neither on the plate nor parallel to the edge of the inverter. This includes pickup trucks based on passenger cars, if the registration certificate indicates the type of truck body.
Which clause ALLOWS a TRUCK (more than 3.5 tons) to STAND on the left side?
Wowochka, paragraph 12.1 allows the truck to stop on the left side of the road. What exactly do you see as the problem?
Hello! Tell me what to do, the situation is this: I wanted to park, I was looking for a place, I didn’t correctly assess the “dimensions” to the sign and turned into a parking space for disabled people, I immediately noticed and began to backtrack to find another place, at that moment the inspector runs up The traffic police and starts taking pictures, I explain to him that I don’t park, but he doesn’t care - in the end he issued a decree, all of which I agree with, can I challenge it, and what “data” should I rely on!?
P.S. I’m on maternity leave, my husband works alone and for us this fine is completely out of place! And in general, in 7.5 years of driving experience, this is the first violation, and it was due to stupidity ((
Evgeniy-272
If we proceed from the definition of what “Parking” is (if there were signs 6.4 and 8.17, and not 3.27 and 8.18) - then according to the traffic rules it is (clipping): Parking (parking space)" - a specially designated and, if necessary, arranged and equipped place ....and designed for organized parking!!! vehicles..." It turns out that a stop (up to 5 minutes... etc.) is not parking. This means there is no violation.
You can try to approach from the other side. The photo does not reflect whether the car is standing or in motion. It will always reflect a stationary object. In order to prove that the car was standing and not moving, video recording is needed. If my memory serves me right, then there was even some kind of resolution on this matter related to the fact that if there is not sufficient evidence of the driver’s guilt, then the driver should be considered not guilty (somehow this is all expressed this way, I don’t remember exactly). So try to appeal. I just think that the case will have to be brought to court, the traffic cops will most likely defend their own. And don’t waste your appeal deadlines.
Good day. Please tell me this is the situation. I parked for the night with 4 wheels behind the curb on the sidewalk side (facing a tree along the road, between the main sidewalk, where people walk, and the road). My car doesn’t bother anyone, not pedestrians, not anyone. My parking spot, although separated from the road by a curb, is on the same level with it (not elevated). I live across the street from the parking spot and there were no other parking spots. The car was evacuated at half past three in the morning. There are no signs prohibiting parking.
Was my car towed legally or could they only have been fined!? Is it possible to somehow appeal this point in court?
No. Asphalt separated from the road by a curb, but at the same level as the road.
Art. 12.19 p.3 parking on the sidewalk.
Georgiy-28
Hello!
We have a parking island near the house (there are markings). People walk through the island, as it borders on the intersection of two roads and there are pedestrian crossings. I left the car outside the marking zone (but close), the car was taken to the impound lot. They wrote that “Parking is on the sidewalk.” As proof, 50-100cm from the car there is a tile “for the blind” (which is placed in front of the zebra crossings). Plus they said that the fact that this so-called sidewalk is level with the roadway is not important, since there is a curb stone (the entire island is fenced with it).
Of course I will try to protest, but is there a chance?
Alex, if there really is a sidewalk there, then the fine and evacuation are legal. However, if you prove in court that there is no sidewalk in this place, then the fine and money for evacuation must be returned. In principle, you can try.
Good luck on the roads!
Georgiy, Hello.
You can try. In any case, please write here about the results.
Good luck on the roads!
Is it proof of the absence of a sidewalk if the level of asphalt (the supposed sidewalk) is the same as the road level, although it is separated by a curb!?
Alex, clause 1.2 of the traffic rules:
It says nothing about the level of asphalt on the sidewalk and roadway. That is, the asphalt level can be any.
If you want to challenge the fine, then you need to focus on the fact that the specified area is not intended for pedestrian traffic.
Good luck on the roads!
We will try to challenge it. Thank you.
Hello!
I purchased a parking space in a two-level underground parking lot under the railway station. Before the purchase, they showed a plan for the placement of parking spaces, this is what the parking should have looked like: 4 rows, between the 1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th rows there is a roadway, about 6 m wide, all parking spaces are located perpendicular to the roadway. There is no general plan in preschool education. My parking space should have been the second one before the turn, marked with an asterisk “*” (vertical stripes in front and behind the parking space), every 2 cars along the perimeter of the parking space there are pillars - it turns out there are 2 cars in 1 square:
| .... |. .| .... |.| .... |. ^ .| .... |
| .... | | |*.... | | .... | | | .... |
| .... |. v.| n....|.| .... |. .| .... |
After the parking lot was handed over, it turned out that the developer turned my place (*) and my neighbor’s (indicated by the letter “n”) by 90 degrees, i.e. the front/back of the car looks at the wall of the building, and on the roadway before the turn I placed another parking space (from each corner), as a result, instead of 4 cars, there were 6 cars on the 90-90 degree turn section:
| .... | .| .... |.| .... |. ^ | .... |
| .... | | -- --- -- -- -- -- | | .... |
| .... | v -- n *. -- --.-- | .... |
Did the developer have the right to place a parking space on the roadway, before the turn (the distance to the turn corner is the width of the pillar, about 0.5 m). With this arrangement of parking spaces, it is very difficult to get into your parking space "*". The width of the roadway after the turn is about 3 m. (from the parking space pillar to the building wall), there is limited space for maneuver. In addition, the width of the entrance to the parking space itself is 2.13 cm, instead of the required 2.5 m.
Venus, Hello.
Unfortunately, I am only superficially familiar with construction legislation. In general terms, I can advise you the following. Study your contract with the developer and see what requirements for a parking space are specified in this document (location, size, area, etc.). If at least one requirement is not met, then terminate the contract or demand the provision of a place that meets the requirements.
You can also try to find regulatory documents that establish requirements for parking spaces (standards, rules, laws, etc.) and study the requirements specified in them. If something is not fulfilled, then you can also terminate the contract with a refund of the amount paid.
Good luck on the roads!

Hello.
At night the car was parked near the entrance, near the curb, there were no prohibiting signs.
There was a collision with my car, as a result of which
a) The car was thrown onto the sidewalk with its right wheels
b) The left rear wheel was torn off
As a result, the car cannot move and stands with two wheels on the sidewalk. Does not interfere with passage or travel. The accident was recorded by the traffic police, but the description did not indicate the final position of my car.
Am I violating traffic rules by leaving my car parked?
My interpretation: no, since both parking and stopping is an INTENTIONAL stop in the movement of the vehicle. In my case, the car ended up where it ended up unintentionally and does not have the ability to move on its own.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
The accident was recorded by the traffic police, but the description did not indicate the final position of my car.
The final position of the car is necessarily recorded in the accident diagram. By the way, you are also obliged to record it - clause 2.6.1 of the traffic rules.
clause 1.2 of traffic regulations "Forced stop" - stopping the movement of the vehicle due to its technical malfunction or danger created by the cargo being transported, the condition of the driver (passenger) or the appearance of an obstacle on the road.
clause 12.6 of traffic rules. If forced to stop in places where stopping is prohibited, the driver must take all possible measures to remove the vehicle from these places.
Alexander, Hello.
From the point of view of traffic rules regulating stopping and parking, the situation is not a violation.
There is an asphalt area in the yard of the house; it is separated by a curb from a gravel embankment. The curb is 7 cm wide and is on the same level with asphalt and gravel. Large poplar trees grow along the perimeter of the gravel embankment. No grass grows, there is dirt after the rain. Nearby, a small fence fenced off a front garden with flowers, i.e. flowerbed Question: Can a gravel embankment be considered the same as a sidewalk? Is it possible to park on a gravel lot?
Vladimir:
“Sidewalk” is a road element intended for pedestrian traffic and adjacent to the roadway or bicycle path or separated from them by a lawn.
Theoretically, the sidewalk can also have a gravel surface; asphalt on the sidewalk is not necessary.
Good luck on the roads!
Children born to tall parents most often grow up to be tall, as long as they eat properly. In addition, nature lays out a growth program in the body of every person. If a person grows up to be quite short, this program has not been fully completed by the body. Its failure can be affected by the slightest changes in DNA, poor ecology, poor quality nutrition, intrauterine malformations and hormones.
Failures in the growth program can be caused not only by its underdevelopment - some people, on the contrary, grow to more than 2 meters.
The most intense is observed during pregnancy, so any damage to the placenta can lead to malnutrition of the fetus and the birth of a child with low body weight and growth deficiency. In the first years and throughout subsequent life, the main regulator of growth is the endocrine system, while the hormone responsible for growth is produced by the pituitary gland. Sex hormones and thyroid hormones play an equally important role in this process.
To what age does a person grow: how long does it take and when does it stop?
Despite all the generally accepted schedules and schemes that provide for stability and gradual growth progress, children most often grow in “jumps”, which alternate with rather long pauses. There are three stages at which a person grows most intensively - these are the 1st year, 4-5 years and puberty (puberty). At this time, the body works at full strength, so children are more likely to get sick and suffer from functional disorders of organs and systems.
When growth rates decrease, the body enters a calming phase, and internal organs begin to develop calmly.
During puberty (11-12 years), they begin to sharply increase in height from 6 to 11 centimeters, adding on average up to 8 centimeters per year. Boys enter puberty a little later (13-14 years old), so their increase in height ranges from 7 to 12 centimeters - on average, 9.5 centimeters per year. By age 15, most reach their final height, while they reach their final height by age 19-20. However, a person, regardless of gender, continues to grow a little even after 25 years. Growth stops at around 35-40 years of age, after which people begin to shrink by 12 millimeters every decade - as articular and vertebral cartilage gradually dehydrates and shrinks.
