Which of the following best ensures your safety and the safety of those around you when you are backing your vehicle?

Backing requires extra caution because it is difficult for drivers to see behind their vehicles. Before entering a vehicle to back up, walk to the back of the vehicle to check for children and small objects.

• Honk your horn right before shifting into reverse.
• Check behind the vehicle before you get into the driver's seat.
• Check your rearview mirrors to see what is behind you.
• Turn up the car radio before backing up to get the attention of anyone who may be around you.
