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.
Take love from bangladeshi driving school.
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❤❤❤
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.
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!
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 ☺️
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 ❤
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!
Perfect timing because I was struggling with this in my lesson today.Thank you so much.
You literally been a majorrr help with all your videos ,things I don't understand at driving school you explain it so easily
Excellent!! I'm often confused about which way I need to steer when reversing. I understand this better now. Thank you!!
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'm a new driver from Uganda 🇺🇬. Your videos have been extremely helpful to me and for that, I truly appreciate your work.
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)
Genius!
I’m so confused
ok now im even more confused
Thank you
Passed my test today. Your videos helped me a lot. I like how you cover real time driving skills. Please keep doing the great work.
Congratulations on passing 😊
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.
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.
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).
Dis helped me alot tanks for dis
Absolutelly, this is my technic too.
Glad i saw this comment, i will definitely try that next time!
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.
I get confused looking at front, rear mirror and reversing camera so gonna try using side mirrors more. Another great video thanks!
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
Best explanation 👏I am a new learner , felt like you read my mind 😅
Your explanation is always top tier sir! I find it very easy to understand and gives me confidence to try your methods. Thank you very much.
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
so glad that Japan is the same way as your country 😂

@@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 :)
Congrats 👏

I passed my test on Monday, first time with 2 minors. Your videos were so helpful! :)
Congratulations!
The best! Thank you for sharing. I wish I had watched this video before my test.
I am still practicing reverse parking. Sometimes was nailing it. Most of the time I am off the middle. I think this video will be helpful.
Passed first time today with 1 minor fault! thank you for the advice richard :)
Congratulations on passing!

@@qarah6473 you know here driving schools are after our money only.
😂😂😂😂 the truth and only the truth.
😂My mom and I just started to learn and I'm really annoyed 😂 because she does not understand so this was helpful
These videos are so helpful ! The most helpful driving videos I’ve encountered ! I’m so grateful to you for making these !!!
Wow Thanx for the video,been struggling a lot with reverse
So happy I stumbled upon this lol, people over-complicated reverse steering
It's extremely helpful. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
This is actually really helpful! Thank you!
idek know you but i love you . you were hitting all my flaws at driving lol all the points were hit😂😂
Imagine… and today after watching so many videos youhelped me and you made this video two years ago😌…
Your videos are brilliant, thank you!
Right on time! I am recently learning how to reverse and you just uploaded. Thank you! 😀
Thank you for your videos,this is really useful.
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.
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.
You're a genius Mr Fanders👌🏽
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.
Thanks for your concern sir, and I like your all videos
thanks a lot. needs refreshment from my driving instructor
I thank you for your well detailed video 👍
Just in time I needed this. thanks
Thank you for making these videos.
I'm planning to start driving lessons soon. It's a shame your not in London as you seem like a great instructor!
Snatch is a great film! I'm assuming that's where brick top comes from. What does nemesis mean? 😂

You should pop around and see Tyrone, he could do with some lessons 🤦🏻♂️
Lovely lessons thank you so much
2:06 u need to keep it simple I like how u explained things in a way some ppl don’t that’s good tips and explaining explaining it a way most ppl can understand nice and simple
Thanks for this tutorial 👍
This was very helpful!
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.
as always, excellent video
Passed first time today!, thanks for all the helpful tips Richard
Congratulations on passing!
Wow, watching this as a C+E driver is mindblowing 😅
Thank you so much for this
I thought of it as if I’m now aiming the back of the car when I put it in Reverse. If you think Left means Right or Right means Left, it’s not always gonna work, clearly.
So think of Reversing as aiming your car from the perspective of the back, as if your seat and steering wheel now turned around and is facing the back. From that perspective, if you turn the wheel to the left, will you go left? Yes.
TLDR If you put the car in Drive, you’re now aiming the Nose of your car, if you put the car in Reverse, you’re now aiming the Back of your car. Left is still Left and Right is still Right.
this is so useful!! thank you :)
What a coincidence few minutes ago I was practicing straight reverse to the uphill😁
Your brilliant thankyou for explaining I too have problems with this😅😂
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.

Most difficult skill is to drive in reverse, not only reverse parking but driving a curved strech in reverse.
Good lessons 👍
It's crazy the amount of people that need help to steer the car in reverse...I got the skill by playing gta 😂
😄
Haha 😂
Same mate
By playing PUBG xD
@@minhtam1998 😂
Wow!! So simple 🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
THANK YOUUU!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Man you’re a genius. Thanks for all the great advice
Thanks mate.
5 star ,Top 🌟 Tips!!!
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.
@@ConquerDriving I must of missed it 🙄
Why is it so hard to park a car
skill issue
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 😊
Very helpful
I have a question regarding parking. I know you always recommend not to do a hill start on a flat surface but for drivers test in south Africa its compulsory or you will lose points... Soo my question is after balancing then letting down my handbreak do I do clutch control as if I was in a hill with slow moving traffic to move in reverse and park the car or is there another method.. And will the car stall
You will need to use clutch control uphill and the brake downhill.
Thank u so much god bless you 👍
You should get a Nobel prize in parking physics.
😂 I do like science.
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.
thank you
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.
@@ConquerDriving I’m just glad I started practicing in an empty field 😂
thanks ❤
Thanks
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 .
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:

hi quick question ,I understand what you're saying but how do you know when the wheel is straight ?If someone is making adjustments is it that they count how much they turn ?or do u just adjust till the car go straight ?Thanks in advance.
With experience you know but if you're not sure, just move a tiny bit and you'll soon find out.
@@ConquerDriving Thank you
Thankyou
Brilliant
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?
Hello sir. Do you have a vid on paralelle parking please. Thanks
I do have two in my reversing playlist.
@@ConquerDriving thank you. Will take a look
