What should you do if you’re about to reverse into a side road, but there’s a pedestrian waiting to cross?

Explanation: You should stop and give way to any pedestrians waiting to cross before you reverse into a side road. You shouldn't wave them across, honk your horn, or flash your lights, as that could prompt them to cross before they've checked the road is fully clear. Before continuing your manoeuvre, you should check there are no more pedestrians or other hazards around you, and always aim to complete a reverse-around-a-corner manoeuvre in a place without much traffic.
