I support Wayne on this one, all operators must turn their heads and look in reverse before moving

If you use mirrors for this purpose you field of vision is greatly diminished and you may miss a pedestrian approaching

Mirrors should only be used as visual aids and not as driving aids.

Also drivers must back out of a trailer very cautiously and treat it the same as an intersection.

Remember safety now comes before productivity!
