Distinguish the pre-movement check from looking back while reversing.
Distinguish the pre-movement check from looking back while reversing.
Each section below follows an explanation or demonstration in the video. Select a section to play from that point, then practise the skill with appropriate supervision.
Before a backing or parking manoeuvre, turn and check both sides and the surrounding area. A quick sideways glance is not the same as seeing the blind spots. Hazards may have arrived since your earlier check.
The 360 check comes before movement; rearward observation continues during reversing. Once the surroundings are clear, turn to look back and keep monitoring the path, using mirrors and the camera as additional information.
