ECI – Engineers Construction

Backing incidents are the most common motor vehicle incident.  Thankfully they are mostly minor with only property damage.

Fortunately, backing incidents are avoidable if the driver takes appropriate precautions:

• Walk around vehicle prior to a reverse movement
• Use a spotter
• Open your windows
• Use your mirrors and look around
• Avoid reverse movements when possible
• Park facing outward
• Plan your path prior to the reverse movement
