What is compulsory when you need to carry out the reversing manoeuvre?

Correct answer

Do it slowly, signal the manoeuvre and make sure, even getting out of the vehicle if necessary, that it does not pose a danger.

When you need to carry out the reversing manoeuvre, it is important to follow these steps to ensure safety: 1. Before starting to reverse, carefully observe your surroundings, even considering getting out of the vehicle or asking someone else for help, to make sure you can carry out the manoeuvre without obstructing or endangering other road users. 2. Signal your intention to reverse using the reversing light if your vehicle is fitted with one, or by extending your arm horizontally with the palm of your hand facing backwards to clearly indicate your manoeuvre to other drivers. 3. Carry out the reversing manoeuvre slowly and with maximum caution. Be prepared to stop the vehicle quickly if you notice other road users nearby or if safety requires it. These steps will help ensure that the reversing manoeuvre is carried out safely and that possible accidents are avoided.
