Explanation
When backing up, relying solely on mirrors can obstruct your view and limit your visibility. Mirrors provide a partial view, but they may not capture obstacles or pedestrians directly behind your vehicle. By turning your body and head to the right and looking through the rear window, you expand your field of vision, allowing you to see more of your surroundings.
