Question 2408

If you are in a situation where you cannot drive forward but can make a U-turn, may you back out?

  1. No, because it is prohibited.
  2. Yes, but only if you do not travel more than 15 meters.
  3. Yes, but without entering an intersection.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, because it is prohibited.

Being unable to move forward is not enough to permit backing up: it must also be impossible to turn or make a U-turn. Since a U-turn is possible here, backing up to get out is not permitted.
