How should we perform the reversing manoeuvre?
Reversing
Explanation
To perform the **reverse maneuver** safely, it is essential to do it **slowly and with caution**. Here we explain why:
- **Reduced speed**: When reversing, you must drive at a very low speed. This allows you to have better control of the vehicle and react to any unexpected situation, such as the appearance of pedestrians, other vehicles, or animals.
- **Caution against dangers**: Before starting the maneuver, make sure there are no dangers for other drivers or pedestrians. If at any time you perceive a risky situation, such as sound signals from other vehicles or the approach of people, you must stop the vehicle immediately.
- **Limitations of the maneuver**: Reversing is only allowed in specific situations, such as when parking or when it is not possible to move forward. Additionally, you should not reverse more than 15 meters or enter road intersections.
- **Proper signaling**: It is important to indicate the maneuver correctly, using the reverse lights and, if necessary, manual signals with the arm to warn others of your intentions.
By following these guidelines, you ensure a safe maneuver and avoid putting other road users at risk.
