Question 7138
In the absence of proper lighting, how should you signal the backing-up maneuver?
- With your arm bent upward and the palm of your hand extended.
- With your arm extended horizontally and the palm of your hand facing backward.
- With the hazard lights.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: With your arm extended horizontally and the palm of your hand facing backward.
If the backup light is missing, extend your arm horizontally with your palm facing backward, like the driver in the picture. Bending your arm upward signals a move to the right, and hazard lights cannot be used to signal that you are backing up.
