Question: 1 / 570

When backing out of a parking space, you should:

Signal and look behind you

Backing out of a parking space can be a tricky maneuver, especially if there are other cars or pedestrians around. The best way to ensure safe backing is to use multiple methods of observation. While using your mirrors can give you a general idea of what's behind you, they may not show all blind spots. Depending solely on your mirrors could lead to missing a potential hazard, so it's important to also turn your head and physically look behind you. Having another person outside the car to help guide you can also be beneficial, but it should not replace your own active observation. Simply looking around the car, without specifically checking for objects or people behind you, is not sufficient for safe backing.
