203. You MUST NOT   reverse your vehicle further than necessary.  Law CUR reg 106  7.The road user and the law  The following list can be found abbreviated throughout the Code. It is not  intended to be a comprehensive guide, but a guide to some of the  important points of law. For the precise wording of the law, please refer to  the various Acts and Regulations (as amended) indicated in the Code.  Abbreviations are listed below.  Most of the provisions apply on all roads throughout Great Britain,  although there are some exceptions. The definition of a road in England  and Wales is ‘any highway and any other road to which the public has  access and includes bridges over which a road passes’ (RTA 1988 sect  192(1)). In Scotland, there is a similar definition which is extended to  include any way over which the public have a right of passage (R(S)A 1984  sect 151(1)).  It is important to note that references to ‘road’ therefore generally include  footpaths, bridleways and cycle tracks, and many roadways and driveways  on private land (including many car parks). In most cases, the law will  apply to them and there may be additional rules for particular paths or  ways. Some serious driving offences, including drink-driving offences, also  apply to all public places, for example public car parks.  Acts and regulations from 1988 can be viewed on the UK legislation site.  Acts and regulations prior to 1988 are only available in their original print  format which may be obtained from The Stationery Office as detailed  highwaycodeuk.co.uk 106
