Explanation
Backing out of a driveway requires extra caution as visibility behind the vehicle is limited. Always check behind the vehicle before getting in: small objects or children may not be visible from the driver's seat. Avoid relying solely on your mirrors. Instead, put your right arm on the back of the seat as you turn to look directly through the rear window.
