Correct answer
- CEn todas las vías, salvo como complemento a determinadas maniobras.On all roads, except as part of certain manoeuvres.
As a general rule, reversing is prohibited, except in the following cases, exceptionally and always for the shortest distance necessary: 1. As an additional manoeuvre when stopping, parking or joining the traffic. In this case you may not reverse more than 15 metres or enter a road junction. 2. When it is not possible to move forwards, turn or make a U-turn. In this case there is no limit on the reversing distance, and you may even enter a road junction if necessary. Reversing is prohibited on dual carriageways (autovías) and motorways (autopistas).
