At what speed are we required to drive in reverse?
- Heavy vehicles – slow; light vehicles – fast.
- During the day – fast; during the night – slow.
- When driving downhill – slow, and when driving uphill – fast.
- Correct answer: Always slow.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Always slow.
When driving in reverse, the driver's field of vision is limited and it is hard to notice pedestrians, children and obstacles behind the vehicle. So you always drive in reverse slowly, regardless of the type of vehicle, the time of day or the slope of the road. Driving slowly lets you stop immediately when a hazard appears.
