    Vehicle Backup Safety

    • Always check mirrors and blind spots before starting to back up to ensure the area is clear.
    • Use backup cameras if available, but do not solely rely on them; look over your shoulder as well.
    • Proceed slowly and steadily while backing up to maintain control and reaction time.
    • Parking lights may only be used in designated situations, usually when parked on the side of the road, not for driving at night.
    • Driving without headlights in darkness or poor visibility conditions can result in traffic violations and penalties.

    Best Practices for Parking a Vehicle

    • Park in designated parking spaces whenever possible to maximize safety and efficiency.
    • Always set the parking brake after parking to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
    • Check surroundings for pedestrians and obstacles before exiting the vehicle.

    Importance of Checking Behind the Vehicle

    • Many accidents occur due to lack of visibility behind the vehicle when backing up.
    • Small children and pets can easily go unnoticed if the driver does not check behind before moving.

    Using a Guide for Backing Up

    • A person outside the vehicle can provide a clearer view of blind spots and surrounding hazards.
    • They can communicate effectively with visual signals or instructions, reducing the risk of accidents.
