Excerpt from Preventing Backovers in America's Driveways
National Highway Transportation Safety Administration
5 In the case of a backover incident, the blind spot is the place behind your vehicle that you cannot see in the rear or side view mirrors — or even by craning your neck out the driver’s side window. Generally speaking, the larger the vehicle, the larger the blind spot.
6 Blind spots for shorter drivers tend to be significantly larger as well. In addition, the elevation of the driver’s seat, the shape of a vehicle’s windows and mirrors, and the slope of a driveway can affect the size of the blind spot behind a vehicle. In addition, the smaller stature of children can make them particularly difficult for a driver to see when backing up.
Based on the information in the passage, which combination is least likely to result in a backover accident?
A) a full-size SUV and a petite, elderly woman
B) a compact sedan and a tall, twenty-year-old man
C) an Airstream motorhome and a ten-year-old child
D) a full-size pick up truck and a three-year-old child
