Question 4069

Must the backing-up maneuver be signaled?

  1. No, signaling the backing-up maneuver is not required.
  2. Yes, with the backup light.
  3. Yes, using the hazard lights or by repeatedly flashing the brake light.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, with the backup light.

Yes. You signal that you are backing up with the backup light, the white light at the rear that is on in the blue passenger car in the image. If your vehicle does not have one or it is not working, extend your arm horizontally with your palm facing backward. Hazard lights and repeated taps on the brake warn that you are stopping or slowing down considerably, not that you are backing up.
