I have always had difficulty determining which direction to steer when reversing, and even my driving instructor didn't fully understand my confusion. However, your video has made me feel understood and has greatly improved my confidence when reversing. Thank you!
You make new drivers feel understood ,and you know exactly what our struggles are. Your kind and helpful energy is just mind-blowing. There are so many reasons to thank you. I appreciate this channel so much. Your videos are the best thing I have ever watched. Thank you dearly❤❤❤
The way I visualize it is by thinking of the car always driving on a circle. The line will go lengthwise through the middle of the car. If you steer right the circle is on the right of the car, if you steer left the circle is on the left. Doesn't matter if you go forward or backward. The harder you steer the smaller the circle. (If you don't steer and go straight you're still on a circle but now it's the entire globe)
This was really helpful I think as you mentioned keeping it simple is best. If you want to move towards the kerb steer TOWARDS it. If you want to move away from the curb steer AWAY.
I wanna say I passed my driving test today with 5 minors! I really wanna thank you for all the help you have provided with your videos, it has helped me grasp a lot of my driving skills. I really appreciate all these videos and keeping them free for everyone! :)
@@mariaben6542 Yeah I remember those days, it took months (one private practice a week) of experience to get the hang of them, you will get there eventually! A lot of driving I feel is experience and confidence :)
I literally watched this. As someone scared of driving, I went outside in the car park. Pulled out with the car and reverse parked. Although it took 6 minutes lol, I steered it the correct direction. Thank you for this. I will conquer driving with your videos and help.
Can't appreciate your videos enough! it's like you can get into the head of learners like us, read our confusions and answer them here! Thank you for making these videos!
This is brilliant! My instructor helped me understand it in a similar way "steer where you want to go" basically. This is quite too simple in the end. Thanks for the videos!
There is an easy way to remember which way to steer the steering wheel when reversing. Just think of the back of the car as being the front (while looking backwards); if you want to steer left, then you move the steering wheel to the left or to the right if you want to go right (same as you normally would when driving forward).
I don't know how to drive a car but I'm learning how to drive a sit down forklift at my job and this same concept applies, however thinking about it like this made driving in reverse click for me. I'm driving/looking forward Red curb on my right Blue curb on my left I turn the wheel clockwise and I drive to the right towards the red curb I turn the wheel counter clockwise and I drive to the left towards the blue curb Now I'm driving/looking in reverse The curbs have flipped L&R positions from MY visual perspective however turning the wheel in the SAME direction will drive me toward the SAME curb Red curb on my left Blue curb on my right I turn the wheel CW and I drive to the left towards the red curb I turn the wheel CCW and I drive to the right towards the blue curb What I initially did at first was if I wanted to go to my right while reversing I turned the wheel CW as if I was driving forward and wanted to go right. I was confused as to why I was going the opposite way. That's why I don't like to think of the direction I'm turning the wheel in as L&R and I prefer CW and CCW because I can visually & physically process that concept easier than thinking in terms of L&R in relation to the wheel.
You are a genius! I just love how you understand what new drivers get confused about, and then explain it so simply. Honestly, your vidoes have saved me. Thank you so much ❤
I am super thankful for this upload. I was reversing in my driving lessons last week and it was bad. This was so helpful for me. Hopefully I'll get better at it in my next lesson.
i learned to drive in an asian country did not hire any instructor i just followed ur video for the uk, i couldn’t get to messg you the way you explain is above and beyond perfect and makes you the top of my list. i couldn’t find anyone on youtube with ur type of explanation and i want to thank you so much i just passed my test today couldn’t be happier most of the credit goes to you to be honest.
Excellent!! U r the best!! I have every video saved! God Bless u, young man. I am 63 n just got my driver’s licence in Denmark where they drive on the right side of the road, while I come from India where we drive on the left. However, your explanation of techniques r the best I have seen n I use them all to understand driving techniques. I always struggled with backing, but u have helped me understand by ur simple, clear, easy to remember explanation. I just focus on whether I want to go towards something or away from it n turn the wheel accordingly, checking wing mirrors for safety. Neat!!! Thank u!
I stumbled across your channel a few months ago and I’m so glad I did! Your videos have been so helpful and really easy to understand. I turn 17 next month and have been using my summer to revise for the theory test and increase my driving knowledge. Thank you ☺️
One tip I got from my instructor is to keep the car moving while turning the wheel, while reversing. I thought that wasn't really needed but I did it anyway. One time, I was going to reverse, and before I start reversing I was turning the wheel. when i start moving the steering was all messed up and I was like that's why i should keep the car moving. Doesn't need to be fast, can be really slow but enough to see where the car is going.
ohmg. you just saved me. my brain cant rly comprehened reverse parking. and you just gave a tip that is very easy to remember and clarity. thank you so much
I never actually understood where to steer the wheel when reversing 🙈 today i ll have a lesson again will give it a go again, im sure ill be better after your video! Thank you
Your videos are the only ones I watch for driving. You keep things simple and help dispell the myths around the driving test and it's honestly so helpful.
Could you possibly (if you haven't already) do a video on how to maintain your speed? I find it a bit tricky to keep at the same speed and not go slightly over or under
I hate maintaining a steady speed, I find it a real chore. It's why I love cruise control so much 😉 These two videos may help: ua-cam.com/video/KggkCe6Agjk/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/pZaQW6VEuXU/v-deo.html

Thank you thank you! I am a fairly new driver living on top of a hill on a one car track lane. I just recently met a car and had to reverse down a windy hill. Nightmare!! Thank god for reversing sensors. im too short to turn round much, Bth I passed my first test first time even though I failed the reversing round the corner so I am a decent driver, this makes me look such an idiot!
It's great to hear the video helped you. Keep practising and it will get easier with time. Take you time though, make sure you don't rush if you feel rushed.
@@ConquerDriving yes my reversing is bad I remember I had to do it on the lesson before I wanted the back of the car to go to the left and I it took me time to do it .
Im a new driver but I like parking in reverse, always do it this way rather than just sliding in from the front. However, I regret going for it in a tight space situation, when you have narrow driveway along the parking space, like when cars park in the middle of the parking lot driveways. Judging the distance enouth for the maneuver is tricky.
Can you do a video on how to stop veering. I know i watched your clutch videos which i swear are priceless. I went from being a beginner a semi pro at driving. My instructor said i kept driving to the left for some reason. I need to wear my glasses lol.
Hi, great video, please keep making such skill based videos. It really helps us to u d’état and the basics. All your videos are very insightful. Thanks for it!!
My issue as a new driver is not to know where to steer when doing a reverse But how to perform parking (parallel and reverse) I failed my exam because I must did it two times (the first try I was between the place and the road) But I have trouble parking my car even if it’s a little one (Yaris 3 doors)
I have my driving test in 10 days. I can drive competently, and i know how to do the manouvers, but when it comes to reverse manouvers and steering, it's like my brain turns to mush. My issue is not knowing what way the wheels need to turn, its how many times i need to turn the wheel. Or how many times i have already turned the wheel and i end up over corrected or under correcting. Its incredibly frustrating and i feel so stupid.
Drove my friend's car at his request.He told me turning the steering wheel before the car move for reverse parking is a no-no. I don't see the logic. Can I comment?
Unfortunately, I can't use my wing-mirrors when going in or out of my garage (in fact I need to manually fold in both wing-mirrors), because garages in this country are so narrow and also I can only open the driver's door by 5 inches to get myself in and out!
I have always had difficulty determining which direction to steer when reversing, and even my driving instructor didn't fully understand my confusion. However, your video has made me feel understood and has greatly improved my confidence when reversing. Thank you!
This is exactly why I’m here. Struggled with my mum and instructor so he suggested I watch some videos before practicing in my lesson today 😂
Its a big issue for Beginner's. may this video will help them lot.

It is easier to judge steering when moving but because you're moving you have less time to get think about when to steer and observations.
I get confused looking at front, rear mirror and reversing camera so gonna try using side mirrors more. Another great video thanks!
I passed my test on Monday, first time with 2 minors. Your videos were so helpful! :)

Most difficult skill is to drive in reverse, not only reverse parking but driving a curved strech in reverse.
Awesome, next would you make when to use the mirrors and when to back up by turning your head? thanks :)
I don't feel there so a lot of accuracy you can get by looking out the rear window. Often there is little to see.

So true 👍 But do think opposites regarding the front of the vehicle as you need to be aware where it’s going
Absolutely yes, be aware, I made a note in the video about this. Just don't figure out which way to steer using the front of the vehicle.

Right on time! I am recently learning how to reverse and you just uploaded. Thank you! 😀
Great useful tip, what should be the distance from the car before we start manevour
Further away is better so you have a better view in your mirrors and more time to steer the car.
Thanks 😊
This doesn’t make it any less confusing 😂
😂 If you want to get closer to the passenger side turn the wheel towards the passenger side and vice versa.
