Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You begin backing slowly, intending to move straight. Why does SGI advise a brief forward check within about the first foot of movement?
Correct answer: To check whether the front wheels are straight as the car begins to move.
Why
Begin slowly while looking through the rear window. After roughly the first foot of movement, make a brief forward check. If the front moves straight back, the front wheels are straight; if it swings sideways, they are not. Straighten as needed and continue the careful backing search. The purpose of this early check is to detect an unintended front swing before it develops further.
