Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Safety is the guiding principle for any maneuver on public roads. According to General Traffic Regulations, it is forbidden to initiate a maneuver unless you are certain it can be done without endangering other road users or obstructing traffic. Reversing is particularly delicate due to reduced visibility; therefore, if traffic prevents it, the only correct action is to wait until the situation changes and it is safe to proceed. Performing the maneuver relying on others' reactions is reckless, and distance limitations (like the 15-meter rule for parking) are distance constraints, not safety exemptions.
