May you back up as a supplementary maneuver to other maneuvers?

  1. No, it is prohibited.

  3. Yes, but only to park.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, to complement other maneuvers when necessary.

Yes. Backing up may be part of another maneuver that requires it, such as stopping, parking, or entering traffic, as the passenger car in the image is doing by backing up alongside the parked cars. In these cases, back up no more than 15 meters and do not enter an intersection. It is not limited to parking.
