CDifficulty 1/5

When a driver extends their arm horizontally with the palm of the hand facing backwards, what does this indicate?

Correct answer

That they are going to reverse.

The reversing manoeuvre must be signalled so that other road users are aware of it, using the corresponding reversing light if the vehicle is fitted with one; otherwise, it must be signalled by extending the arm horizontally with the palm of the hand facing backwards.
