Backing Increases Risk
• Line-of-Vision Blind Area Larger to Rear
• Requires More Space to Maneuver - Back Tires Don’t Turn
• Must Yield to All Pedestrians and Vehicles
When Given the Choice, Move Forward

Backing Straight
• Right Foot Firmly on Brake
• Shift to “R” – Reverse• 360 Degree Search• Pedestrians &
Vehicles

Backing Straight
• Hold Wheel at the 12 O’clock Position• Twist Body to Look Over Right Shoulder• Target – As you do when moving forward• Decrease Brake Pressure – Move at a walking pace• When Close to Obstacles Move at an Inch-by-Inch
