If the driver's rear vision is obstructed for any reason, what should be done?

• A. A guide person shall assist the driver
• B. The driver should stop and exit
• C. The vehicle should reverse slowly
• D. The driver should slow down only

Answer: (A)

When rear vision is obstructed, you can’t rely on your own view to move safely. A guide person acts as a spotter, standing where they can see behind and around the vehicle and giving you clear signals or directions. This helps you back up or maneuver safely, avoiding pedestrians, other vehicles, and obstacles.

Other approaches don’t provide the needed safety. Stopping and exiting isn’t the standard procedure for visibility issues and could create new hazards. Reversing without guidance is risky because you may not accurately judge distances or detect hazards behind you. Merely slowing down does not fix the visibility problem.
