Observation and hazard perceptionStandalone practice
In a car with a usable rear window, what observation does ICBC recommend before and while backing?
Correct answer: Check all around, then look through the rear window as you back
Why
Before backing, check all around with mirrors and shoulder checks. Turn your body to look through the rear window while reversing, continuing to watch for children, pedestrians, cyclists and other hazards. If you have been stopped for some time, walk around the rear to check the path before moving.
