Correct answer
- CSí, usando la luz de marcha atrás.Yes, using the reversing light.
Article 109, section 2, of the General Traffic Regulations states that every manoeuvre involving a sideways move or reversing must be signalled with light signals. Specifically, reversing must be signalled with the reversing light if the vehicle has one, or otherwise with the palm of the hand open and facing backwards, under section 2.b. The use of the hazard warning lights or the brake light is not provided for as a compulsory signal for this purpose. Therefore, the correct answer is that the manoeuvre must be signalled with the reversing light.
