Question 4371
When backing up, you must keep in mind that...
- you must do so with caution, since people can pass behind the vehicle.
- you must not travel more than 10 meters.
- you have the right-of-way over pedestrians.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: you must do so with caution, since people can pass behind the vehicle.
When backing up, you have a poor view of what is behind you, and someone may walk there, like the woman on the sidewalk near the rear of the blue passenger car. Move slowly, use the utmost caution, and stop if anyone approaches. Backing up does not give you the right-of-way over pedestrians. There is no 10-meter limit either. When stopping, parking, or entering traffic, the maximum is 15 meters.
