In moving traffic that would be the rule, but in stationary traffic the situation is different, I believe the person who is reversing has to make sure it is safe to do so. If everybody stopped behind a truck or any long vehicle in stationary traffic and left a gap that made sure you could see his mirrors you would be talking about a gap of four or five car lengths at least, that gap would be swiftly fillled up by people who think you are a dickhead for leaving such a large space and causing even more traffic tailback, one of those people would be me.
