Drivers must "reverse" onto their driveways or face an "unlimited" fine in a brutal Cost of Living blow. Highway Code rule 200 says 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 adds: "Do not reverse from a side road into a main road. When using a driveway, reverse in and drive out if you can."

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