Question 785

If a vehicle backs out of a street because it cannot turn or make a U-turn, is this correct?

  1. No, if the distance traveled backward is more than 15 meters.
  2. No, if it enters an intersection.
  3. Yes, provided the distance traveled backward is the minimum necessary.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, provided the distance traveled backward is the minimum necessary.

When it is impossible to move forward, turn, or make a U-turn, you may back up only as far as strictly necessary and with due precautions. The 15-meter limit applies to other backing maneuvers.
