  1. 1. During the reversing part of a three-point turn, where should you be looking?

    Show answer

    Answer C: Over your shoulder through the rear window, glancing both ways

    You look through the rear window in the direction the car is moving, checking both ways for traffic and people, because mirrors and cameras leave blind areas.

    Show answer
