Explanation
When backing out of a parking space, it is important to take the necessary precautions for your own safety and the safety of others. It is difficult to see behind your vehicle, so you should always turn and look over your right and left shoulders before you begin backing up. This will allow you to check for any pedestrians, bicyclists, other drivers, or children that may be in the area.
