Just passed my 3a, reversing and un/re-coupling, after around four hours training this morning and came here to refresh everything. It's really interesting you guys put on a full right lock on. They had me coming back in a gentle arch after straightening up across the line after the first turn. I was still straightening up as my trailer was coming into the cone bay and found it dead awkward as I could see bugger all out of the near side mirror. Lining up with just one mirror was just no good. Definitely needed one shunt! This way looks like you have much more room to correct lining up as you're coming back. The truck was an absolute dog as well. MAN. Really difficult to tell if the thing was parked straight without the trailer on. Felt like I was driving a shoe that's two sizes too small!
Another great vlog from the guys at TNLA, how you doing Kev? hope all is well...onto Class 1, i should have taken up the opportunity to go on this when i passed class 2 last year, but wasn't to be at that time as to much going on then..and i still carry the PMA with me, oh and the sock on the mirror i still use it now and again, wife thinks i'm nuts haha - Mr.Schumacher!!
Hello, I am struggling with the reverse exercise, have failed my test today . I have been told to do a full right lock until seeing the black mark on the trailer and then a full left lock slowly moving backwards to straighten the cabin with a trailer ,but that seems to put the trailer at such sharp angle And basically puts the front right wheel right on the yellow line or almost over, so I am stressing between going over the yellow line without seeing anything and not understanding my positioning relatively to the cone I am suppose to go around by the time I see the cone I have very little room left to direct the trailer into the parking bay and give it the correct angle and no room for a mistake at all when it comes to steering … Seeing instructors do it with ease puts even more pressure 🤣 thanks for the video!
I passed yesterday and was taught 1 full right until you see the marker and full 2 left turns until it bends then straighten up and just caress it into the bay
I just passed today and had the exact same problem at first. The instructor explained I was reversing too fast and steering too slow, so I was using up way too much space to turn the wheels. Once you see that first mark slow the truck right down to a crawl and throw on those two left turns to straighten up. Really throw them hands around! From there it's dead easy. It's keeping that right wheel away from the line that's the hard part.
i have got my test on moday but the reverse is always the issue for me. i have been told once the trailer is straight after the one right turn i should make a quarter turn to the left, but seeing here you are doing one turn to the left 12 o clock.. i will try it out and see how it goes today.
I’ve watched this video around 30 times. Got my test today and my instructor has been crap. Must of only had 30 minutes practice reversing, in an old factory car park with no proper cone set outs or barriers to reverse into. I’ve no markers for reversing into so I’m going into this blind this morning. Hopefully this video gets me through. 👍
