Question: Before backing up you should:
Answer options:
- Use only mirrors ✅ Check all around the vehicle (front, sides, behind) and back slowly
- Honk first
- Use the radio
Correct answer: Check all around the vehicle (front, sides, behind) and back slowly
Explanation: Before backing up, you must check all around the vehicle and reverse slowly to ensure the path is completely clear of hazards, pedestrians, and blind spots. Under Ontario MTO guidelines, safe reversing requires a full 360-degree observation, as relying only on mirrors is insufficient due to their significant blind spots. Honking is unnecessary and causes confusion, while using the radio is a dangerous distraction. On the G1 exam, remember that safe backing always demands physical shoulder checks rather than relying solely on mirrors, a key safety concept frequently tested to evaluate your understanding of vehicle blind spots.
