Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
Before and during a slow backing maneuver, how should you check that the path is safe?
Correct answer: Check blind areas, then look directly behind as you back slowly.
Why
Check for traffic in both directions and the blind areas before reversing. Look over your right shoulder as you back at a safe smooth speed, and continue observing the path. Assistance displays can help, but they do not replace making sure the maneuver is safe.
