You back your car in a straight line down a long driveway to the street. Where should you mainly look while the car moves?
A faces away from the street in a long straight driveway and is backing toward the street. A small orientation card says that the car faces left and reverse is right. No driver pose or selected viewing method appears in the question.
Correct answer: Over your right shoulder through the rear window, with quick checks of all mirrors.
Why
Children and objects that are low and close behind the car are hard to see from the driver's seat. A direct look through the rear window shows the largest part of the path, and the mirrors show what comes in from the sides. Keep the speed very low so that you can stop at once, and keep control of the steering wheel while you turn your body.
