Why is it encouraged to turn toward the driver's side when backing with a trailer?

Turning toward the driver's side when backing with a trailer is encouraged because this position provides the driver with the best possible view of the trailer and the surrounding area. When facing the driver's side, the driver can more easily see the trailer's path and any obstacles that may be in the way. This visual advantage is crucial for safely maneuvering the trailer, especially in tight spaces or complex situations where precision is required.

Also, the design of vehicles and trailers makes it easier to see blind spots and corners on the driver's side, allowing for better judgment and control during the backing process. This visibility significantly reduces the chances of accidents or collisions while backing up. The other options do not provide the same level of safety or clarity when reversing a trailer.
