Question 5732

What is required when you have to perform the backing-up maneuver?

  1. Do it slowly, signal the maneuver, and turn on the hazard lights.
  2. Do it slowly, signal the maneuver, and make sure, even by getting out of the vehicle, that it does not pose a danger.
  3. Look backward by turning your body and resting your forearm on the passenger seat, and honk the horn.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Do it slowly, signal the maneuver, and make sure, even by getting out of the vehicle, that it does not pose a danger.

Back up slowly, signal with the backup light, and check that you are not endangering anyone, getting out to look if necessary. Hazard lights do not signal this maneuver. Neither the posture for looking behind you nor honking the horn is required.
