Passing target: 80% (16/20)
You are backing out of an angle parking space on a downtown street. A car comes along the street toward the space behind you. What does Vermont law require?
Blue car A faces northeast in an angled parking bay beside a vertical street. Silver car B approaches north along the street behind the bay. The card says A starts backing.
Correct answer: Stop and wait, because you may back only when it is safe and does not interfere with traffic
Why
When you back, you see less and you steer less accurately than when you drive forward. The manual reminds you that the backing driver is responsible for traffic in all directions. Back slowly, look behind you the whole time, and never back across an intersection.
