Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Safety regulations are strict regarding reversing due to reduced visibility. If the driver perceives any warning (horns, shouts) or detects the proximity of a hazard (pedestrians, animals, or other vehicles), they have the obligation to stop the vehicle immediately. They must not resume moving until they are fully assured that the risk has passed, even if this requires getting out of the vehicle or asking another person for guidance.
