Yes, unnecessary backing is frowned upon.
True
The driver backing up. Unless you can prove the other car was driving unsafly.

Fault here would likely be shared. On the one hand, the driver backing really has no legal right to the lane they are backing into - you cannot cut someone off while you are backing up. But it seems you have described a situation in which the individual backing was well into the backing process when someone came along, from quite a distance, and hit them. Hence the driver in the lane already probably had the last clear chance to avoid the accident but chose not to and would hence bear the majority of the fault.
It is not recommended for a fuel truck driver to backup a truck with fuel in it, as it increases the risk of accidents, spills, and potential hazards. Drivers should avoid backing up whenever possible and should always follow safety guidelines to prevent any potential dangers.
Both of you are probably at fault. If you see another person backing you should stop and signal the other driver if possible. Otherwise stop and wait until that driver completes his backing maneuver.Added: It is the obligation of the backing driver to ascertain that his movement does not interfere with any other vehicles. In this instance, you both apparently failed to do so.
Stay alert
Concentrate on it's driving
A forklift driver should sound the horn when approaching intersections, blind spots, or areas with limited visibility to alert pedestrians and other operators of their presence. Additionally, the horn should be used when backing up or when the forklift is in motion near workers to ensure safety. It's important to use the horn judiciously to avoid creating noise pollution in the workplace.
When there is something behind you that you don't want to hit, or that you don't want to fall over.
