  1. No.
  2. Yes, even if you enter an intersection or travel more than 15 meters.
  3. Yes, provided you do not enter an intersection or travel more than 15 meters.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, even if you enter an intersection or travel more than 15 meters.

If you cannot move forward, turn, or make a U-turn, you may back up the minimum distance needed to get out. In this case, you may travel more than 15 meters or cross an intersection if essential.
