Is the passenger car driver allowed to approach the passenger on the bridge while reversing?
Answer options
Explanation
No — reversing on a bridge is prohibited. Memorise the rule once and for all: reversing is prohibited at intersections and in every place where a U-turn is prohibited, and a bridge or overpass is one of those places, so backing up even a few metres to pick up a passenger there is an offence. The picture shows it fully: a bridge carriageway with crash barriers on both sides, a passenger waving at the right edge, and a car that would have to reverse to reach them. The danger is doubled — in reverse the driver's view is severely limited and reactions slow, while on a bridge there is no shoulder, no room to manoeuvre and no chance for anyone to swerve. The right solution is to cross the bridge and stop at the first permitted place beyond it.
