What is the main advantage of backing toward the driver's side?

Correct answer: You can see better by watching the rear of the vehicle through your side window.

  1. AYou can see better by watching the rear of the vehicle through your side window Correct
  2. BYou can back up the whole way without using your mirrors
  3. CYou can keep an eye on the front of the vehicle through your side window

Why

Backing toward the driver's side lets you look straight back along the vehicle from your own window. Backing toward the right, or blind, side is much riskier because you see far less.
