Show answer

Correct answer

  • CNo.No.
Explanation

As a general rule, reversing is prohibited, except in the following cases, exceptionally and always over the shortest distance necessary: 1. As a manoeuvre to complete stopping, parking or joining traffic. In this case you may not reverse more than 15 metres or go into a junction. 2. When it is not possible to go forwards or to turn or make a U-turn. In this case there is no limit on the distance you may reverse, and you may even go into a junction if necessary. Reversing is prohibited on dual carriageways and motorways.
