I AM amazed that Rob Collinson has the gall to show his face on a page of the Evening Press (Death smash driver's ruin, November 23).

Surely the safe manoeuvre is to reverse into Wrays Avenue not out of it? If reversing out of anywhere on to a main road is imperative, then the assistance of a "lookout" should be sought. Perhaps Mr Collinson might find reference to the Highway Code useful.
