Question 1560 in the bank

When is it permitted to drive in reverse?

  1. Correct answer: When it is required from a traffic-related point of view.
  2. When it is required for personal reasons, even if driving in reverse is not essential.
  3. Only when the roadway is wider than 4 meters.
  4. It is always permitted, as long as we are always seen by other drivers.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: When it is required from a traffic-related point of view.

Reversing is allowed only when traffic conditions actually require it, for example when leaving a parking space or a dead-end street. Even then, the driver must make sure it does not endanger or obstruct anyone. Personal convenience is not a valid reason, being seen by others does not make it permitted, and the width of the roadway is not what decides.
