How do you back-up out of a driveway?

Answer 1

step on brake, put the car in reverse, look back and go slow out of the driveway. making sure no one is around first. also no toys from children. or any children around.

Answer 2

I either roll down the window or open the door and lean out. I line up the side of the car with the edge of the driveway. I figure if I'm all the way over to the left, the other side will be okay.

Answer 3

foot on brake, car in reverse, look out mirrors, try not to hit anything, when coast is clear you should be out of your driveway.

Answer 4

Carefully.  I ride the clutch on the way out of the garage, making sure my mirrors clear the garage door frame then start worrying about other things.  I dodge the light pole, squeeze past the garbage can, and veer into the alley.

When leaving the front drive, I usually twist and contort around due to my proximity to an elementary school, swivelling back and forth to look through every piece of glass in my car.

My parents' drive is more of a challenge.  With their long, ribbon strip drive designed when the Model T was the most advanced car the world had seen, I have to adjust a mirror slightly and keep the left rear tire on the edge of the pavement.  I stop before I get to the walk, make sure everything's clear, then back out into the street.

Answer 5

Very carefully.

Answer 6

I put my car in "R" for reverse gear and apply some gas to the pedel.

How do you do it?

Answer 7

Why not back IN to the driveway, when you can plainly see that both lanes of the street and the sidewalks are clear?  Then you can drive forward in a better visual position to see pedestrians and cars that might otherwise intersect your path.  

If you can't back it up, we'll all be better off if you leave it parked.
