I turn around, my mirrors don't have a view of everything.
-
Turn around and look back.
-
It depends. If I'm just backing out of my carport and, having looked around before getting inside, I just back out using the mirrors. However, if I'm just about anywhere else, I use both. I learned the hard way. ;(
-
All three. (Really.) I've backed into my share of obstacles over the years.
-
Turn and look. And if you are too old to do that, stop driving.
-
Since I'm still fairly new to driving, I look straight back(habit).. But if going a short distance, then I use the rearview
-
I always turn around and look
-
The traffic where I live now is absolutely insane. I have to completely turn around or I'll miss one of the ten directions cars, buses, taxis, and merge lanes can be coming from!!!
-
I use my mirrors. When I put my car in reverse my mirrors adjust so I can see around the car better... and the back up camera comes on so I can see what's behind me on my front screen. and...ahem...I have little beepers that ding when I get too close to something... and there's a ...ummm...color coded meter that let's me know how close I am. and it flashes red when I'm about to hit something :P
-
All of the above, I have kids, they leave random things on the driveway.
-
It's situation dependent. I normally turn around to check for traffic if that's a possibility, then I use my mirrors to do the actual backing up. I can see both sides of the car and behind me with very little movement that way, if I turned around to drive I would be incapable of seeing one side of the car while looking at the other.
-
I do all. I have had a couple or three backing up accidents because I can't turn my head really well due to arthritis. I have been really carefully for the last few years and have avoided them.
-
Turn around and look...
-
I need all the help I can get, I use them all. ☺
-
I always turn back and I make sure that no driver Is passing by while I'm reversing.
-
Always turn around..too many blind spots with mirrors to take a chance! Happy Friday! :) ((hugs))
-
A healty mixture of all three if you can believe it.
-
I'll look in all my mirrors then turn around to reverse. If it's a tough drive way, I'll roll my window down and look out the window or follow the edge of the drive from my driver's side mirror.
-
I use the side mirrors most of the time.
-
Turn around and look back.
-
I do all three. I would rather be safe than sorry.
