What fundamental precaution is the driver obliged to take before starting a reverse maneuver?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Reversing is one of the most dangerous maneuvers due to lack of visibility. According to General Traffic Regulations, before starting it, the driver must be fully certain that it will not constitute a danger to other road users. The rule is strict: if you do not have complete visibility through mirrors or direct vision, you are obliged to get out of the vehicle to check the free space behind or ask for help from another person to guide you. Excessive speed is counterproductive, and using the horn does not exempt you from the obligation of visual safety.
