Which direction should you look before backing out of a parking space?

Only to the left.
Only to the right.
Both directions.
Forward only.

The correct answer is: Both directions.

When backing out of a parking space, it is crucial to look in both directions. This practice ensures that you are aware of surrounding vehicles, pedestrians, and any potential hazards that may not be immediately visible if you were to only check one side. Checking both directions helps to prevent collisions and enhances overall safety. Considering only one direction, whether it be left or right, significantly increases the risk of missing crucial information about the environment around you. Similarly, looking forward only ignores dangers that may be approaching from the sides. Properly scanning your surroundings by looking both ways equips you with the knowledge needed to maneuver safely out of a parking spot.
