BDifficulty 2/5

When reversing is permitted, how must you carry out the manoeuvre?

Correct answer

Slowly and only for the indispensable distance, with the necessary safety checks.

Reverse only the indispensable distance, slowly, signalling and checking it is safe. When complementing stopping, parking or joining traffic, do not exceed 15 metres or enter a road junction, under Article 80.2. That limit must not be generalised to the Article 80.1 case where moving forward or changing direction or turning around is impossible. Stop immediately if danger arises, under Article 81.
