Can a tram driver who has no possibility of observing the road behind the tram reverse without the help of another person?
Explanation
Correct answer: No
According to the general principles of the Road Traffic Act, every driver is obliged to exercise particular caution when reversing. In a situation where visibility behind the vehicle is restricted, making it impossible for the driver to personally ensure that there are no obstructions, they are obliged to secure the assistance of another person. This rule applies to all drivers, including tram drivers.
