You want to reverse a little to get out from between parked cars. A pedestrian on the sidewalk behind your car is about to step into the road between the parked cars. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is between cars parked along the edge in lane 2, about to reverse a little
- Parked cars in front and behind
- A pedestrian is on the sidewalk behind your car
You must not reverse if it may obstruct the normal passage of pedestrians or other vehicles (Article 18(1) of the Road Traffic Act). It is easy to skip checks for a short distance, but mirrors do not show everything behind the car, and pedestrians can appear from between parked cars.
Answer: ③, ④
Explanation
You must not reverse if it may obstruct the normal passage of pedestrians or other vehicles (Road Traffic Act Article 18(1)). Before reversing, do not rely only on mirrors or the rear camera; turn your head and check behind directly, and since the pedestrian may pass behind your car, reverse slowly after they have passed (Article 48(1)). Skipping the check because it is a short distance, or using the horn to move the pedestrian, is wrong.
