You wish to reverse out of a parking space into a road. Who has priority?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Traffic and pedestrians on the road
- Step 1: Reversing into a road is joining traffic. Step 2. Look all round and wait for a clear gap. Answer: Traffic and pedestrians on the road. Why not the others: You, if you are already moving: you are joining the road from a stopped position. The vehicle that is behind you: other road users have priority regardless of position. Vehicles that are faster: priority is based on being on the road, not on speed.
