BDifficulty 1/5

A private car misses its motorway exit. May it reverse to reach it?

Correct answer

No, it must continue to a permitted exit.

No. Reversing is prohibited on motorways and dual carriageways; continue to a permitted exit. Exceptional powers of priority vehicles on urgent duty, without compromising safety and subject to officers’ orders, do not authorise a private car to return to a missed exit.
