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: To back up safely, Ontario's MTO Driver's Handbook requires you to turn your body and look directly over your right shoulder through the rear window, which provides the most complete view of your path. Relying solely on mirrors or backup cameras is incorrect and dangerous because these devices have significant blind spots and cannot replace physical observation. While you may steer with one hand while twisted to look back, proper visual scanning is the primary safety requirement. For your G1 exam, remember that electronic aids and mirrors are strictly secondary tools; direct physical observation is always the required method for reversing safely.
