For answer  A 

Intermittent honking, to warn the traffic participants behind the vehicle, is not recommended in such situations, some traffic participants might get scared.

For answer  B 

The drivers of motor vehicles are obliged to use the lights for moving backwards when the vehicle is manoeuvred backwards. The signalling lights for moving backwards with which the motor vehicle is equipped are positioned at the back of the motor vehicle, these turn on automatically when the gear lever is engaged in the reverse gear. It is recommended, through the traffic regulation, the equipping of motor vehicles also with sound devices for signalling this manoeuvre.

For answer  C 

The hazard warning lights do not constitute the signalling specific to the moving backwards.

The traffic regulation specifies that the hazard warning lights are to 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 traffic participants;
• 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 case in which this manoeuvre is required by the blocking of traffic on the direction of travel.

The correct answer is: B

Recommendations:

Correct use of the lighting and signalling system --> Road Code - The technical condition of vehicles and the lighting and luminous signalling system

The maneuver of moving in reverse - Audio-Video Lesson --> Road Code - U-turn and moving backwards
