You want to reverse your vehicle out of a property lot onto a road. What must you do?

When reversing your vehicle out of a property lot onto a road, German traffic laws require that you ensure maximum safety. This means you must arrange for someone to guide you if it becomes necessary, for example when your view is limited or obstacles block your sight, to avoid endangering others. Additionally, pedestrians always have the right of way in this situation, so you need to stop and let them pass safely before proceeding. Using only the rear view camera is not sufficient alone; these devices can help but do not replace other required precautions like checking surroundings or having someone direct you. These rules exist to protect both pedestrians and other road users during reversing maneuvers onto public roads.
