Execution of the maneuver is one of the topics in the Priority block of the Spanish DGT theory. Who goes first: right-of-way rules at junctions, roundabouts, narrow sections and special cases. Understanding this section well helps you answer the theory-exam questions on this topic with confidence.
In simple terms, this point of the DGT theory establishes that the reversing maneuver must be performed slowly, after providing the necessary warning signals and ensuring that, due to visibility, space, and timing conditions, it does not pose a danger to other road users. If necessary, the driver should exit the vehicle or follow the instructions of another person to ensure safety.
Priority questions use concrete situations (junctions, roundabouts, narrow sections): first work out who has right of way and why.
