Which one of the following methods could NOT be used to realistically help Mike reduce the risks when reversing off the main road?

Explanation: This question asks which of the methods could NOT be used to help, and all of the following could be used and are therefore incorrect answers:
• Use a banksman: No using a banksman, if available, would definitely reduce the risk of accident when reversing.
• Use audible reversing alarms: No, using audible reversing alarms would reduce the risk by making other people more aware of what was happening.
• Switch on his hazard warning lamps: No, the use of hazard warning lights may reduce the risk of accident by warning other road users of the reversing vehicle.
• Switch his radio off: No, switching off the radio will allow Mike to more clearly hear any other approaching vehicles or warning shouts.
• Open his windows: No, this would allow him to hear other people/vehicles approach and he would also be more likely to hear the instructions of any banksman.
This question asks which of the methods could NOT be used to help and this is therefore the correct answer:
• Close the road to other traffic: Yes, closing the road to other traffic is probably not a realistic possibility for this exercise
