What safety precautions must you mandatorily adopt when performing a reverse maneuver?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Reversing is a maneuver that carries risks due to reduced visibility. According to General Traffic Regulations, it must be performed slowly and with maximum caution. It is mandatory to signal the maneuver (usually with the reverse light) and ensure that it does not pose a danger to other road users. If visibility is insufficient, the regulations even require getting out of the vehicle to check the surroundings or following the directions of another person from outside. Hazard lights are not mandatory for this specific maneuver, nor is the use of the horn.
