What is the proper action before getting in your car for backing up?

a. Play loud music to alert pedestrians
b. Check behind your car before getting in
c. Assume no one is around
d. Immediately engage reverse gear

The correct answer is: b. Check behind your car before getting in

Checking behind your car before getting in is essential for ensuring safety. By doing this, you can visually confirm that there are no obstacles, pedestrians, or other vehicles in the area that may be at risk when you start to back up. This practice helps prevent accidents and injuries, especially since the area directly behind a vehicle can be difficult to see from inside without careful observation. Playing loud music or assuming no one is around disregards the potential presence of pedestrians and obstacles, which can lead to dangerous situations. Immediately engaging reverse gear without checking first puts everyone in the vicinity at risk, as it does not account for the surrounding environment. Overall, verifying the area behind your vehicle before entering is a critical step in safe driving practices.
