Question 7289

As a general rule, are you allowed to back up?

  1. No, under no circumstances.
  2. No, only in exceptional cases.
  3. Yes.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, only in exceptional cases.

No, except in certain cases. You have a poor view of what is behind you from the driver's seat, so backing up is prohibited as a general rule. It is allowed as part of another maneuver, as the green passenger car in the image is doing by backing up to park, and when you cannot move forward, turn, or make a U-turn.
