BDifficulty 2/5

A driver extends an arm horizontally with the palm facing backwards to warn of a manoeuvre. What are they signalling?

Correct answer

That they are going to reverse.

Reversing. Article 109.2.b requires using the reversing lamp if the vehicle has one, or this gesture otherwise. It is not the horizontal arm with palm down used for a lateral movement. Signalling does not grant priority or authorise prohibited reversing; check the manoeuvre can be completed safely.
