Select a category to check the reversing visibility rating of your car:
The best scores are awarded to the vehicles which have the most effective rear visibility.
Driving a car with a low star rating means you're less likely to see an object of child height out of the rear window, compared to a car with a better star rating. The more stars the better.
About the ratings
The test procedure used a laser pointing device, a dummy to represent an average adult size, a test cylinder to represent the shoulder height of an average two year old child, and a grid extended 1.8 x 15 metres to the rear of the vehicle.
The laser is directed through the rear window of each vehicle. The position where the laser is visible on the test cylinder is noted. This procedure is repeated for all positions on the grid. The results are analysed and an overall score is given. The best scores are awarded to the vehicles which have the most effective rear visibility.
