In which circumstances is it permitted to drive in reverse?
Reversing
Explanation
**Reversing** is generally prohibited on any road or path. However, there are exceptions where it is allowed:
- **When it is not possible to move forward or change direction.** For example, if you find yourself on a street blocked by construction and cannot continue forward, you can reverse to get out of that situation.
- It is also allowed when performing maneuvers to park the vehicle.
It is important to remember that even in these situations, there are restrictions: you should not reverse more than 15 meters or enter an intersection of roads or paths. Additionally, you must always ensure that there is no danger to other drivers or pedestrians before starting the maneuver. If you detect any dangerous situation, such as the approach of another vehicle or an audible warning signal, you must stop immediately.
On **motorways and expressways**, reversing is completely prohibited under any circumstances.
