Practice question

When backing your car, you should do which of the following?

  1. Both A and B.
  2. Keep both hands on the steering wheel.
  3. Move at no more than 10 mph.
  4. Neither A nor B.

Answer: C — Move at no more than 10 mph.

When backing your car, it is essential to move at no more than 10 mph. This is because backing at a slow speed allows you to have better control over your vehicle and gives you more time to react to any obstacles or pedestrians behind your car. It also reduces the risk of accidents and helps ensure the safety of others around you. Remember to always check your surroundings and use your mirrors while backing up to avoid any potential hazards.
