You are driving on a road with one lane each way when car A ahead turns on its reversing lights and reverses toward you. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is driving on a road with one lane each way
- Car A ahead has its reversing lights on and is reversing toward you
- The centerline is solid yellow
Reversing is not allowed if it may obstruct other vehicles, so the vehicle ahead backing up is in the wrong (Article 18(1) of the Road Traffic Act), but preventing an accident comes first (Article 48(1)). The horn may be used to warn of danger, and a solid yellow centerline may not be crossed even to get out of the way.
Answer: ④, ⑤
Explanation
A driver must not reverse when it may obstruct other traffic (Road Traffic Act Article 18(1)), so car A is in the wrong, but preventing a crash comes first. Stop, leave enough space, and if car A's driver may not see you, you may give a short horn tap to warn of the danger (Article 48(1)). Moving up close to block it or crossing the solid yellow centerline to pass (Article 13(3)) is wrong.
