What is the correct action if children or pedestrians enter the area behind your truck while you are backing?
- A.Back very slowly around them
- B.Wave them across behind the trailer
- C.Stop and stay stopped until the area is completely clear and an adult or spotter confirms it is safe
- D.Honk and keep moving so they hurry
Correct answer
C. Stop and stay stopped until the area is completely clear and an adult or spotter confirms it is safe
Why
People on foot, especially children, do not understand trailer blind spots or how a rig swings. The only safe response to anyone entering the backing zone is a full stop until the zone is clear again.
