Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video we are driving along an ordinary street in town with marked parking spaces; it is not a tunnel, a bridge, a flyover (viaduct), a motorway or an expressway. On this section of road, reversing a light quadricycle is allowed - the answer is YES.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits reversing a vehicle only in a tunnel, on a bridge, on a flyover, on a motorway or on an expressway. On an ordinary street you may reverse, but you must exercise particular caution and give way to other vehicles and road users. Before the manoeuvre you check that you will not cause danger or obstruct traffic and that there is no obstacle behind the vehicle - a child, a post, a bicycle. If you cannot make sure yourself, because from a quadricycle it is hard to see what is behind it, you ask someone for help. You reverse slowly, over a short distance, watching the mirrors and looking through the rear window.
Legal basis: Art. 23 para. 1 point 3 and para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
