Correct answer

  • BNo.No.
Explanation

Reversing as a manoeuvre that complements joining traffic, stopping or parking may not exceed 15 metres or go into a junction (Article 80.2 of the RGC). Only when it is impossible either to go forward or to turn round is the minimum necessary distance allowed, even if it is longer.
