Before backing in a parking lot at night, what extra step improves safety?
- A.Turn on the four-way flashers, use lights to signal your presence, and re-walk the path because visibility and pedestrian behavior are less predictable
- B.Back with lights off to avoid glare
- C.Rely only on the backup camera
- D.Honk continuously while moving
Correct answer
A. Turn on the four-way flashers, use lights to signal your presence, and re-walk the path because visibility and pedestrian behavior are less predictable
Why
Flashers announce that something unusual is happening and draw the eye of anyone nearby. Darkness hides low objects and people in dark clothing, which makes the fresh walk-around even more valuable than in daylight.
