Which practice makes backing a large vehicle as safe as possible?
- A.Back quickly before traffic changes
- B.Get out and look at the path yourself, use a helper when one is available, and back slowly
- C.Rely only on the convex mirrors
- D.Open the door and lean out while backing
Correct answer
B. Get out and look at the path yourself, use a helper when one is available, and back slowly
Why
Getting out and looking (often called GOAL) plus a helper watching your blind side removes most of the guesswork. Backing slowly gives you time to stop the moment anything looks wrong.
