Reversing and backing up
Backing up has limited visibility and is a common cause of low-speed collisions. The G1 test checks that you know how and where to reverse safely.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ Check all around the vehicle before you begin to reverse.
- ◆ Turn your head and look directly through the rear window as you back up.
- ◆ Reverse slowly and only as far as you need to.
- ◆ Never back up on a freeway or in an intersection.
- ◆ Yield to any pedestrians or vehicles while you are reversing.
