You need to reverse your car out of a private driveway onto a road, but your view of the pavement is completely obstructed by tall boundary hedges. What should you do to ensure you do not endanger pedestrians?

  1. A
    Sound your horn repeatedly and reverse out quickly before pedestrians can approach.
  2. B
    Flash your headlights continuously while reversing to warn people on the pavement.
  3. Ask someone to stand outside and guide you once they can see both directions along the pavement.Cevap
  4. D
    Rely solely on your interior rear-view mirror while reversing straight back.

Cevap

Ask someone outside the vehicle to guide you out safely.
When reversing out of an enclosed driveway or side access where walls, fences, or hedges completely block visibility, you must not reverse blindly onto the pavement. The safest course of action under the Highway Code is to have someone outside guide you out safely so that pedestrians are protected.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the visibility restriction and pedestrian hazard.
Recognise that tall boundary hedges create a severe blind spot across the footpath.
Pedestrians, especially young children and vulnerable road users, cannot be seen from the driver's seat until the vehicle has already intruded onto the pavement.
2
Select the appropriate safety procedure to eliminate the blind spot.
Obtain help from a person positioned outside who has a clear view of both directions.
A guide provides positive confirmation that the pavement and roadway are clear before the vehicle enters the danger zone.
