AMDifficulty 1/5

The driver of a vehicle without a reversing light extends an arm horizontally with the palm facing backwards. Which manoeuvre is being signalled?

Correct answer

Reversing.

Reversing. Use the reversing light if fitted; otherwise use this arm signal. The driver must check that reversing is permitted and safe. A following road user should keep space and stop if needed, without automatically copying the reverse movement or moving backwards without checking their own surroundings.
