We live in a farming area, seems farmers can almost drive better backwards than forwards. The pickups in parking lots are almost always facing out.

The driving test here requires a long stretch of backing up in a straight line, and making a 3-point turn in the middle of a 2-lane road (without a hair’s-breadth of tire off the pavement). I guess they expect local drivers to do these things and want to make sure they can do it “safely.”

Why do fork lift trucks have steering on the rear axle?
