Question: When backing up you should:
Answer options:
- Rely on mirrors only ✅ Look over your right shoulder through the rear window
- Use the backup camera only
- Steer with one hand
Correct answer: Look over your right shoulder through the rear window
Explanation: For safe reversing, the Alberta Driver's Guide states you must look over your right shoulder through the rear window to establish a clear, direct path of travel. Relying strictly on mirrors or backup cameras is incorrect because they have significant blind spots and do not provide a complete view of the area behind the vehicle. While you may modify your steering hand position while looking backward, the primary safety priority is your line of sight. On the Alberta Class 7 exam, remember that electronic aids and mirrors only supplement, rather than replace, physical shoulder checks when backing up.
