Alberta Motor Association (AMA) Learner’s Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What should you do after confirming your path is clear before reversing?

Turn on your headlights

Signal your intention

Take off the brake

Reversing safely involves ensuring that you have a clear view of the area behind you and that you are aware of your surroundings. Confirming that your path is clear means that you've already checked for any obstacles or pedestrians. Once this has been done, taking off the brake is the next critical step to begin moving the vehicle in reverse. If the brake remains engaged, the vehicle will not move, regardless of whether it's safe to do so or not.

While other actions like signaling, checking mirrors, or turning on headlights are important parts of safe driving practices, they are typically steps taken in preparation for reversing or during the process of maneuvering. However, once it is confirmed that the path is clear, taking off the brake is the immediate action needed to start the reversal process.
