Many pedestrians are struck when vehicles...

  1. are backing up because the driver has not seen the pedestrian.
  2. park on the sidewalk.
  3. are about to enter a garage.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: are backing up because the driver has not seen the pedestrian.

Many pedestrians are struck by cars backing up because they are behind the vehicle, where the driver cannot see them. Before backing up, look around and use your mirrors, and move very slowly. In the picture, the gray passenger car has its backup lights on, and a man is walking near its rear.
