Correct answer
15 metres.
When reversing as part of parking, the distance must not exceed 15 metres or enter a junction, under article 80.2. Travel only the minimum necessary distance, slowly, signalling and checking that nobody is endangered. The 15 metres are not an entitlement to use that distance every time or a limit applying indiscriminately to every reversing case under article 80.1. Reversing is prohibited on motorways and dual carriageways.
