Cevap

Continue driving ahead to find a roundabout or a network of quiet side roads
According to Highway Code Rule 200, drivers should never attempt to reverse or turn around in a busy road. The safest and legal course of action is to continue forward until finding a roundabout or turning around a block of quiet side streets.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess the driving environment and hazard risks
The vehicle is travelling on a busy main road where traffic flow is continuous
Manoeuvring or turning around directly on a busy road creates significant obstruction and collision risks
2
Apply Highway Code guidance on turning manoeuvres
Select a safe off-carriageway or roundabout route to reverse direction
Rule 200 instructs drivers not to turn or reverse in a busy road, but to drive round a block of side streets or find a quiet place such as a roundabout
