Correct answer
- BLo mínimo necesario y, como máximo, 15 metros.The minimum necessary and 15 metres at most.
Under the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), the reversing distance when parking must not exceed 15 metres and must be the minimum necessary. This is to keep other road users safe and avoid potentially dangerous situations that can arise when reversing. This rule is set out in the article on reversing manoeuvres, which also requires you to warn other drivers of your intention and act with care.
