Hi gang.

               If you live on a bus route is it illegal to reverse your car off of your drive onto the road ?.

                                                                                                                                                   Thanks all.

Yes. It doesn't even have to be a bus route. Driving out onto the road is okay though.

Although it is not illegal, it is not advised.

Highway Code:-

6. Reversing (200 to 203)

200
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.

201

Do not reverse from a side road into a main road. When using a driveway, reverse in and drive out if you can.

Its OK suggesting people revers into their drive, but some cant even drive going in a forward direction so you've got no chance. We have a reverse parking only rule at work and its surprising how difficult it is for some folk, they aint got a scooby. 

It would be interesting to bring that in where I work.

 

Some people regularly struggle with getting inside the white lines of the box.  :w00t:

Hello, local pizza delivery drivers do it all the time here, right on a pedestrian crossing, even park on there and the footpath, anyone who walks past this shop at night risk their lives , police don't have time to stop this until someone gets hurt or killed, to be honest I find no one cares about parking much in town, it's a free for all,

In the ‘70’s I worked with an army Colonel who enjoyed a pint or two. His advice was, on arrival, to always reverse in to the parking space. In this way you were facing the way you wanted to go which, after a pint or two, was important. His thinking was that in reversing out after a beer or two there was a greater risk of nudging another vehicle with the obvious risks of confrontation etc.

Since then, I have always reversed in to parking spaces as it seems the most sensible way to park. (I hasten to add that I do not drink and drive)
