Question 634

If you cannot move forward, make a turn, or make a U-turn, is backing up permitted?

  1. Yes, but only for the minimum distance necessary.
  2. Yes, but you may not back up more than 15 meters or enter an intersection.
  3. No.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, but only for the minimum distance necessary.

If it is not possible to move forward, turn, or make a U-turn, backing up is permitted only as far as strictly necessary. The 15-meter limit applies to other supplementary maneuvers, not to this situation.
