When going in reverse, your head and body position should be?

The answer is turning your head and body to the right. Backing up needs you to turn your head to see beyond the head restraint. Do not rest on on mirrors alone when backing. One loses depth perception when using the mirrors to guide the vehicle while backing.

As it is harder to sustain steering control and vehicle balance when the vehicle is in reverse, always back at slow speeds.

Reverse is a more powerful gear than drive, so you should use the accelerator pedal wisely, if at all. Otherwise your car will move too fast.

1.    To back up, turn to your right so you can see through the back window.

2.    Turn your head and body to the right until you can see clearly through the back window.

3.    To improve balance, a driver’s right arm can be wrapped over the back of the seat. The left hand grips the steering wheel near the top and turns it in the direction a driver wants the vehicle to go.
