Question Category: Environmental issues


You're driving in a built-up area. Your vehicle is fitted with an audible warning device that sounds when it's reversing. When must you turn off this alarm?


Explanation

"Some vehicles are fitted with an audible warning that sounds when the vehicle is reversing. This is an effective way to warn pedestrians and other road users of a reversing vehicle, but it doesn't take away the need to use effective observation all around your vehicle before and while you're reversing. Don't use the device in built-up areas between 11.30 pm and 7.00 am. Have consideration for the residents and don't disturb them with excessive noise."
