May a private car reverse on a motorway to return to an exit it has passed?

Correct answer

No.

No. Article 80 prohibits reversing on motorways and autovías: continue to a later permitted exit. Avoiding obstruction or being in a built-up area does not authorise it. The Article 68 exception for priority vehicles requires urgent service, exceptional circumstances and no compromise to safety; it does not authorise a private car to do this.
