Correct answer
The minimum necessary, without exceeding 15 metres or entering a junction.
As a manoeuvre supplementary to parking, reverse only the minimum necessary, without exceeding 15 metres or entering a road junction. Move slowly, signal and ensure nobody is endangered. Article 80 prohibits reversing on motorways and dual carriageways; voluntary stopping and parking have designated areas, so are not prohibited everywhere on those roads.
