Why should you back up slowly rather than at normal driving speed?

Pick an answer

1. Slow speed uses less fuel than any other part of a trip
2. It is only slower because reverse gear is mechanically weaker
3. It gives you time to stop or correct if something unexpected appears, since backing is inherently harder to see clearly
4. Backing speed mainly affects fuel use during the maneuver, not how much time you have to react, something few drivers think about with speed
