When children are close, what should you do before you back out of a driveway?

Get out of the car and check behind the car.
Look through your back window for children.
Rely on your mirrors.
None of the above.
Explanation

If you are trying to back out of a busy area where there are many kids playing, you should ask your passenger to get out, check that the road is clear behind your car, and assist you in backing out. If you are driving alone, exit the vehicle before starting the maneuver to check for any children, animals, or small objects behind you. Once you begin to back up, turn your head and look through the rear window instead of relying on your rearview and side mirrors.
