As a general safety rule, what check is fundamental to perform before starting a reverse maneuver?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Reversing is a maneuver that carries risks due to lack of visibility. According to General Traffic Regulations, before starting it, the driver must ensure that it will not constitute a danger to other road users. Therefore, the correct answer is to verify that there are no obstacles, vehicles, or pedestrians preventing it. If visibility is insufficient (for example, through the rear window or mirrors), the driver must get out of the vehicle to check or, if necessary, ask for help from another person to guide them. Being in a residential area or looking for an authorization sign does not exempt the driver from the physical and visual obligation to check for the absence of hazards.
