Rules 200-203, Reversing

Rule 200
Choose an appropriate place to manoeuvre. If you need to turn your vehicle around, wait until you find a safe place. Try not to reverse or turn round in a busy road; find a quiet side road or drive round a block of side streets.

Rule 201
Do not reverse from a side road into a main road. When using a driveway, reverse in and drive out if you can.

Rule 202
Look carefully before you start reversing. You should
  •     use all your mirrors
  •     check the ‘blind spot’ behind you (the part of the road you cannot see easily in the mirrors)
  •     check there are no pedestrians (particularly children), cyclists, other road users or obstructions in the road behind you.

Reverse slowly while
  •     checking all around
  •     looking mainly through the rear window
  •     being aware that the front of your vehicle will swing out as you turn.

Get someone to guide you if you cannot see clearly.
Rule 202: Check all round when reversing

Rule 203
You MUST NOT reverse your vehicle further than necessary.
