BDifficulty 2/5

You must check before reversing that...

Correct answer

You can do so without creating a danger to other road users, using the guidance of other people if necessary.

Check that it can be done without danger, observing and seeking another person’s guidance if necessary. For reversing complementary to stopping, parking or joining traffic, Article 80 limits the distance to 15 m and prohibits entering a junction. This is a limit for those cases, not general permission to reverse up to 15 m. Reversing is prohibited on motorways and dual carriageways; it must be permitted and limited to the essential minimum distance.
