Correct answer
Check the surroundings, reverse slowly and stop if necessary.
Check the surroundings and reverse slowly, stopping if a hazard appears or you cannot be sure the manoeuvre is safe. Article 81 requires signalling reversing and ensuring no danger, even getting out or following another person’s guidance if necessary. Mirrors or a camera do not guarantee seeing every area. Waving a pedestrian across does not replace checking safety or grant priority over other vehicles.
