Explanation
Backing your vehicle is always dangerous because you can't see what is behind your vehicle. Your mirrors and the sensors on your vehicle help you get a view of what is behind you, but these are still limited. When backing up, always check behind your vehicle, and make sure to turn your head and look over your right and left shoulders to get a better view. Additionally, make sure to always back slowly to avoid collisions and check for pedestrians and approaching traffic.
