Explanation
When backing up, turn your head to look out of the rear window instead of relying solely on your mirrors, as they may have blind spots. Keep in mind that even the rear window doesn't always show everything behind you. If you're in an area with children or obstacles, it's safest to get out of your vehicle and check for any potential hazards before backing up.
