For answer  A 

The intermittent honking, to warn the road users behind the vehicle, is not recommended in such situations, some road users could get scared.

For answer  B 

The drivers of motor vehicles are obliged to use the lights for moving in reverse when the vehicle is maneuvered in reverse. The signalling lights for moving in reverse with which the motor vehicle is equipped are positioned at the rear of the motor vehicle, they switch on automatically when engaging the gear lever in the reverse gear. It is recommended, by the traffic regulation, that motor vehicles also be equipped with sound devices for signalling this maneuver.

For answer  C 

The hazard warning lights do not constitute the specific signalling for moving in reverse.

The traffic regulation specifies that the hazard warning lights shall be used in the following situations:

• when the vehicle is involuntarily immobilized on the carriageway;
• when the vehicle moves very slowly and/or constitutes itself a danger for the other road users;
• when the motor vehicle is towed.

The drivers of motor vehicles and trams must activate the hazard warning lights successively, in the order of stopping and in the event that this maneuver is required by the blockage of traffic on the driving direction.
