Passing target: 20 correct signs and 20 correct rules
While backing slowly around a curve, why must you check clearance at the front corners as well as along the path behind you?
A car is preparing to reverse slowly around a curve, with clear space beside its front corners and behind it.
Correct answer: The front end swings around the rear wheels and can hit objects.
Why
When you steer while backing, the front wheels and front end swing around the rear wheels. That front-end swing can cause a collision beside the vehicle even when the path behind looks clear. Back slowly, look along the path you intend to follow, and keep checking the surrounding clearance, including the front corners. Camera and sensor information can help, but does not replace those observations.
