Explanation
Backing up is a dangerous and challenging maneuver that demands your full attention. Never rely solely on mirrors - they do not provide a complete view. Always turn your head and look directly through the rear window to check for pedestrians, children, or vehicles. Back up slowly and check around you frequently. Because it's difficult to see while backing, minimize how often and how far you back up whenever possible.
