BDifficulty 1/5

On an ordinary street, with no possibility of moving forward, turning or making a U-turn, may a car reverse if it can do so safely?

Correct answer

Yes, for the minimum necessary distance and without danger.

Yes, for the minimum necessary distance, slowly, signalling and checking that no danger is created. The 15-metre limit for reversing as a complement to stopping, parking or joining traffic does not automatically apply in this situation. Reversing is prohibited during ordinary motorway or dual-carriageway driving; the prompt excludes those roads.
