You want to reverse into an empty parking space at the edge of lane 2 and are about to stop in front of it. Car B is following behind you in lane 1. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is in lane 1 beside the space with the right signal on
- There is an empty space between two cars parked along the edge in lane 2
- Car B is following behind you in lane 1
Before changing course, stopping, or reversing, you must signal so that the vehicle behind knows in advance (Article 38(1) of the Road Traffic Act). Reversing is not allowed if it may obstruct other vehicles (Article 18(1)), so be wary of relying only on hazard lights or stopping suddenly.
Answer: ①, ④
Explanation
Before moving to the edge, stopping or reversing, you must signal with the turn signal so the driver behind knows in advance (Road Traffic Act Article 38(1)). You must not reverse if it may obstruct other traffic (Article 18(1)), so check that car B has passed or stopped, then reverse slowly while watching behind. Relying only on hazard lights or stopping suddenly and reversing at once carries a high risk of a rear-end crash.
