You want to reverse. What must you ensure?

When reversing in Germany, it is important to be fully aware of your surroundings to ensure safety. This includes recognizing that the rear projection of your vehicle, such as any load or trailer, may extend beyond the rear of your car, which could affect clearance and risk hitting obstacles (answer 2). Additionally, if visibility is limited, you must allow someone to help guide you to prevent accidents (answer 1). Relying solely on a rear-view reversing camera (answer 3) is not sufficient, as these systems may have blind spots and cannot replace careful observation and, if needed, human assistance. Following these rules minimizes the risk of collisions when reversing.
