When backing up your vehicle, you should:

Look at both side view mirrors
React quickly to avoid obstacles
Turn around and quickly look out the rear window
Estimate how much space you need

The correct answer is: Turn around and quickly look out the rear window

When backing up your vehicle, it is important to turn around and quickly look out the rear window instead of relying solely on side view mirrors. This is because side view mirrors have blind spots and cannot provide a complete view of the area behind the vehicle. Quickly looking out the rear window allows for a more accurate estimation of the distance between the vehicle and any potential obstacles. Reacting quickly and estimating the space needed are not the most effective methods as they could result in overlooking obstacles or misjudging the distance, leading to potential accidents. Therefore, option C is the best choice for ensuring a safe and thorough backup process.
