- Correct answerObservations should be made to the front, sides and rear of the vehicle, including blind spots.
Explanation
Drivers should not rely solely on an external audible warning device to warn others that their vehicle is reversing. Before reversing, drivers must make sure it is safe to do so by taking all appropriate observations to the front, sides and rear of the vehicle, including the blind spots. Never assume it is safe to reverse just because the vehicle has an external audible warning device.
