How should you begin moving backwards when performing 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 obstacles or unexpected situations.
- **Caution against dangers**: Before starting to reverse, make sure there are no dangers for other drivers or pedestrians. If you detect any risky situation, such as the approach of another vehicle or the presence of people, you must stop immediately.
- **R.S.M. safety rule**: This rule helps you perform maneuvers safely. It consists of three steps: **Rearview mirror** (check the surroundings), **Signal** (indicate the maneuver with the appropriate lights), and **Maneuver** (execute the action carefully).
- **Reverse lights**: When performing this maneuver, it is important to turn on the reverse lights to warn other road users of your intention.
By following these guidelines, you ensure a safe and respectful reverse maneuver for other road users.
