Correct answer
Observe the traffic to check whether it can be carried out.
When reversing, we should follow the RSM rule: first, observe the traffic and the conditions of the road to check whether the manoeuvre can be carried out; then signal our intention to perform the manoeuvre; and finally carry it out. Under no circumstances should the manoeuvre be started before observing the traffic.
