When turning a car while backing it, you turn the steering wheel in which direction?

  1. The direction you want the front of the car to go

  2. The opposite direction you want the back of the car to go

  3. The direction you want the back of the car to go

  4. None, keep the steering wheel straight

The correct answer is: The direction you want the back of the car to go

When backing a car, the front of the car will swing out in the opposite direction of the turn. Therefore, you would turn the steering wheel in the direction you want the back of the car to go, which will then cause the front of the car to go in the desired direction. Option A is incorrect because turning the steering wheel in the direction you want the front of the car to go will actually cause the back of the car to go in that direction. Option B is incorrect because it is the same as saying "the direction you want the back of the car to go" which is not accurate. Option D is incorrect because keeping the steering wheel straight will not provide any direction to the car while backing.
