How To Reverse Around A Corner 

Useful video, clutch control is so important as it keeps the car slow so if you make a mistake then it's easier to manage if you are going slow. Usually when the kerb disappears from the side mirror is a good time to turn and when it reappears in the side mirror is time to straighten up.

The BSM practical driving book tells you to turn the wheel in relation to the curve of the road. That's why in the vid it said assess what the curve was like so you know how much steering you might need :) I'm on my 3rd instructor now and this last one is the first to say wing it round the corner and it's by far the best advice. Turning full lock on a big curve just makes you swerve to the curb really quickly

@TheSnugPub You don't need to use the indicator when reverse parking, when you reverse, the lights at the back of the car will come on, the white lights which lets other road users know that you are reversing.

@rankingtrevor thats because there was nobody to mislead... its not a must to signal if there is nobody to signal to

Your point of turn was not clear. ....

The video does not explain fully/clearly on how to reverse around a corner. If this is the method that instructors still use to teach their pupils this basic skill, then I am not surprised many find it hard to understand and fail their driving test on just this one fault. There is a far better and easier way to learn, reversing a car around a corner: 1. Parallel park car about 1½ feet from curb. After checking, mirrors, releasing handbrake, looking over shoulder etc., at the correct moments throughout this procedure, slowly start to reverse car 2. Look in nearside wing mirror at the curb and when the curb can no longer be seen in nearside wing mirror, turn steering wheel counter clockwise (full lock) into turning 3. At the point when front of car has straightened up, move steering wheel clockwise to central position (front wheels are then straight for reversing into side road).

0:23 ... hes like 'fuck yeah im a driving instructor biaaatttccchh!'

nah I don't do it like that basically observations on track like always as you do the manoeuvre get the bend of the kirb in the middle of the left mirror and put 3/4ths or 270° of a turn on and it follows round perfectly

This is the worst video I have watched on reversing around a corner. No indication of what we should be looking for in our left wing mirror & just saying turn left does not tell us whether that is full lock or one full turn! Not a great advertisement for BSM!

iam learning driving now and is quiet easy because all u need is patient

My instructor doesn't advice it & I am glad cos on the day of the test I may forget to put it back on - major fault!! Better to have it on, than to fail just for not putting yr safety belt on!

will try this tomarrow according to vocal points

thanks for back point point reference to straighting

Am training now how to drive thanks for the lessons

Thank you, Mr.Lamb.

Gary Lamb u legend

Thank you

0:23 all he needs now is a cowboy outfit.

Err you won't... They were talking about if other road users come along. If you've just started to reverse into a side road you can block people who are coming out or into that side road, so then you would need to move out the way by returning to the start position on the main road. So no, you won't fail for going forwards again if you have good reason too.

helpful video

veri nice

why do these ads have to come up for? and they force you to watch em >.>

Great video but you all forgott to mention,when reversing in dis manover,one needs untie the seatbelt,for flexibility ability,of turning all around.At least my instructor insists on it.After completing it,re-fasten back the seatbelt.

hey i knw u post this 3 weeks ago but did you passed ? I too hate this the most! :( I have my test on monday

nice video thankyou :)

Why use the hand break?

do u need to indicate?

M

Nice vid

maybe But its good to know someone knows there ek's :)

i dont understand why everytime we have to apply the handbrake ? .. just press the brake pedal and thats all !

wouldnt this be dangerous ie if another car or bike comes up that road and isnt expecting a car reversing around it

My test is on the 14th: Parallel park- fine Bay park- doable Turn in the road- good Corner reverse- Shoot me now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Yeah, its an EK..4.. .the 9 is a type r

I failed test yesterday by getting a grade 3 in the reverse around the corner.

I passed my test four years ago and still don't know how to paralell park or reverse around a corner. And they were both in my test.

Heskey driving

yeah whatever mate, one hand on the passenger seat and a serious neck stress view out the back window job done

@mozzajunior perhaps because it might be the only video you want watch. Like me :)

lol if its a ek9 doesnt mean its a typeR lol its defo a ek :)

Awwh know a fair bit lol few mates have em

When to turn 2:25

Theres only one Gary Lamb.... One Garry Laaaaamb

Here in brazil if you did a manoeuvre like this you will get a traffic ticket.

@mrmrhollingsworth I love it that made me laugh so much!

I fell asleep

this is the maneuver i hate the most....da instructor was pissed

theres a bit more to it than just turning around the corner which wasnt explained... no help

Did this corner about a million times... not as well as this guy though

HONDAAA CIVICC EK9 :D

If necessary go into first gear and return to the starting position... No DON'T do that! You'll probably fail.

haha yeah same here :)

You won't pass if he's your instructor...indicates to go right...turns left..

at 40 secs? looks like an EK4 lol no way thats Typre r lol!

I am totally gona fail ;( tests on the 31st

He never indicated when pulling in to park on the left. Poor form.

It would have been better if you showed both reversing in a sharp corner and gentle corner

Step 1: Reverse 'round the corner.

This was manuveer

failed twice on reverse corner

wtf spanish toilet paper bears???? my advertisements are weird

Didn't really help your not explaining how much to turn etc

@FilthyShadow not to mention dangerous

not helpfull

Lol this isn't the way I learnt

It's a bad teaching how I saw!!!nothing to learn,where is indicator mr A haha,

Garry Lamb, marry me)

Take some weed LOL..il pass, im 20 weeks pregs with my 2nd child...lol..Having an education doesnt make you a better driver lol.

does he really sound like a girl? WHY WON'T HE SPEAK!!!!
