- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.พ. 2020
- Follow me from the Drivers Point Of View, the easiest method to completing the Cat C+E (Or Class 1) reversing maneuver. Very basic exercise, not much skill required, more following a procedure, than a test of skill.
Hope it helps & calms your nerves if you are nervous!

The fact you’ve taken the time and effort to do this to help others when you were probably nervous and having to give 100% focus yourself says it all for me mate. Top bloke!
Cheers mate. :)
Started at my class 1 today practicing my revering, your clip gives a better instruction than my instructor 100%, You would make a great instructor.
I have watched all your instruction videos from class 2 onto C+E and they have helped me out tremendously. thank you for that Deady2012
Mate I've been doing it for over 25yrs and still manage a complete blonde moment I'm more than a regular basis.Fair play to you mate for taking the time to try and help others because we've all been there.Keep the faith brother and don't let them grind you down
Watched your video last night to help me with my reversing test today. Just wanted to say a big thank you. I passed it! 😊
I remember on my test I fooked up a bit that I couldn’t see da cones on my near side reversing into da yellow box and thought I had hit them.I stopped da truck heads in hand thinking I ‘d hit them and that I’ll fail da test.At that point thought fuck it failed now carried on reversing and thankfully as it turned out hadn’t hit da cones and ended up going on to passing.
Good advice pal. Taking it all on board! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Top man👍
Deady you've put me right at ease watching this nervous where settings in with this manoeuvre watching this has made me feel alot better
Started my class 1 training today had a few attempts at reversing and struggled but this from the drivers perspective has helped massively
I failed my first attempt at the reversing manoeuvre yesterday, but ive passed the second attempt today!
Your video was really helpful and made me realise where I had gone wrong in the the first attempt, and I wish I'd of seen your videos earlier.
Cheer mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Cracking vid as always, kind of puts me at ease, I'm dreading the whole 'reversing' when it comes to learning. Looking forward to the vlogs of you in the class 1 buddy!
Backing up the artic on the test pad thing is so easy it's unreal..... Backing them up in 'The real world' is a complete bitch!
Thanks for the effort in these videos mate much appreciated and very helpful.
Glad you like them!
Well you made it look easy, thanks for the drivers' eye view.
Some good advice there mate took me back to when I done mine all the best mate
Hey Deady. THANKS for this video. I know you posted it a while ago but I only just started following you. Seeing the reverse from the drivers point of view was really useful. Any other videos i found are from outside the cab and aren't that informative. I'm looking at doing my class 1 this year or maybe next depending on lockdown... and reversing the trailer was my biggest anxiety but this has help massively. The way you explained it was great! Should think about becoming an instructor mate. 👌 keep on Truckin
brilliant helpful vlog keep them coming brillant great feeling passing and as im sure you know every day is a school day
Just past my test mate & this helped massively. Thanks mate 👍🏻
Thanks a lot for this video and for tips. Really helpful.
great video pal! helps to see what the reverse is like!
I did that for the first time today and although all three times would have been a pass, (had to shunt on one of them) I still felt like I was all over. It takes some getting used too. Thanks for your videos man, I’ve leaned a lot from them.
Helpful advice, I will keep you in mind I do my class 1 training, respect 👍
Great insight Gaz Deady keep videos coming.
Much appreciated
Thanks, for that. As we come out of lockdown, I've got my 2nd lesson tomorrow (1st was back in January) so far all attempts were passes. Did see this video before, but just a quick revisit in prep for lesson and test on Wednesday
That's just what I needed, I start my class 1 next week👍
well done yng man i said it before to u ur enthusiasm for wht ur doinging is good from a grumpy old hgv driver
Lol! Cheers mate :)
Was struggling with my reversing watched your video last night nailed it straight away today cheers for your video helped alot roll on Tuesday for my test 👍
Did you pass?
Thanks again mate. Such a genuinely decent guy....dont ever change sir👌
Never will buddy ;)
Billiant video Deady..So well explained..Cheers..
This video really been good for the nerves..
I’ve just started my class 1 training yesterday I’m struggling abit with the reverse this vid as been really helpful test on Thursday hopefully pass
Best of luck mate!! The reverse is quite easy on the test mate, take your time buddy, no rush. Quarter turns only after the initial move.
Wait until you've passed lol..... That's when you have to learn.... FAST
Hey Deady, I just passed class 2, booked to start training class 1 in couple weeks! I've never even towed a caravan so I was a bit concerned. But this video puts my mind at ease. Cheers 😊
Really handy Deady. Was a total Newbee as from November. Passed my Class 2 a couple of weeks ago at Red Rose with Bill. Got my Class 1 coming up in March. Thankfully, I've been offered my first driving job at the airport driving a fuel tanker. (ADR licence from Red Rose) A years contract . Looking forward to giving Class 1 a shot. Thanks for the Vids!
Wow! That's a belting contract to have hahaha! I want to do ADR in the future :) My instructor was Bill also haha! Good luck mate :)
Peak deady this. Bring it back
That makes two of us with the Ned Kelly shout out haha! Well done mate 👍👍👍👍
Legend!
I had my class 1 module 3a training and test a couple days ago. There was 3 of us and had to share 1 truck and trailer. Was a full day 7am-4pm. Started at 7 and Spent around 2 hours taking turns to uncouple and couple the trailer. Had a break and then did the reverse from 10.15am~3pm. We was taking 1 turn each to do the reversing manoeuvre and by 1.30pm all 3 of us could not do it. I took another go took it nice and slow and just thought about what I was doing and was able to do it all by myself with no help. Then did a couple uncouple again each and as assessor was running late we took another go at reversing each. Again I was only 1 out the 3 of us to do it. Other 2 guys never completed the reverse without support and I allowed them 2 to just carry on taking turns as I had learnt how to do it. Assessor turned up around 3pm and my name came up first for the reverse manoeuvre. Start of with the reverse doing well was close to b cone but able to complete task with no shunts and in the box first time. I knew I did it as assessor then asked to do it uncoupling. Nearly messed up as was about to pull out clip on kingpin but remembered it’s BLACK so saved myself. Again did it all and passed. I think the other 2 guys were a little hopeful as they had just watched me pass with ease. Assessor and instructor both congratulated me and told next guy to start the test. Was about to leave but as I knew the other 2 guys I was doing training with was nervous I didn’t want to distract them so waited for them to complete before driving out the car park. Next guy was doing well but shunted twice. Kept putting himself in front of b cone and wanted to shunt for a 3rd time. Assessor then told him he can’t as he’s already done it twice. I knew he failed as truck was parked in middle of test area and not in the coned area. As I was leaving the guy did come over and tell me he failed and was informed to book further training. 3rd guy who was part of the training was the most nervous and would point out as many things he could think of as why he couldn’t do it right. Complained about seat, other people practising in the same area, wanted 1-1 training and anything else he could think off. Never seen him do his test but based of his practise tries I would assume he failed. As in training he had to Abandon the truck multiple times to allow instructor to reset truck as he would end up off training area and out the yellow lines. Even the instructor had given up on him and just told the 2nd guy to practise more as he thought he had more of a chance to pass.
I tried to help them both but they didn’t seem to take on board any information the instructor and I gave them. I did think the 2nd guy might actually pass but once I seen him fail I knew the 3rd guy no hope as he hadn’t once completed the reverse on his own and tbf even the 2nd guy didnt
The company who we did training with charge £400 for the session which consists of learning how to uncouple and couple the trailer and then the reversing manoeuvre. The test is also done on the same day at the end and each person is allocated 30mins each.
Ridiculous should be one to one training... all that money spent and you have to share.. wow! congratz though
Thank you for posting this helps a lot
I hope it does help mate! Good luck if you're doing your test after this Covid thing...
@@Deady2012 thanks for the reply means a lot 🙂🙂
Wicked video, u made it look easy 👍
It was lol.... That reversing exercise is stupid.
Cheers mate, back on it tomorrow.... who know's where I'll be heading in the UK? Saved this one to my "Trucking & HGV" playlist :)
Cheers buddy :)
Great stuff, thanks Mr D. I passed my C Test today, so onto the C+E ASAP! I started in March this year but C19 shut tests down just b4 mine! So it feels like an age has passed since I started! But it feels like it's all worth it now I've passed, so as you say... Happy Days :-)
Congratulations buddy!
Deady 2012 cheers buddy, you’ll never guess what, got my licence back today and offered agency work this Sunday and then I go and sprain my ankle so have to turn it down till it gets better 😅
Mate . I can't tell you how much this has helped. I have my class 1 test tomorrow and am bricking it over the reverse. Just the opposite steering has got me confused. But I love the way you described it, showed it and talked about calming our nerves. Big help thank you. I'll let you know how I get on!
Great stuff mate! It’s easy enough. The learning starts when you pass your test 😂
@@Deady2012 I failed
@@MrTalklikeapirate what happened John? Don’t worry you’ll get it next time.
Thanks m8 just passed thanks to a tip from you
you should consider being a trainer , learnt more off this video than i have off a trainer i had practicing for my 3a reversing, i have my test next week, and feel confident that i'll be able to get the reversing out the way sharpish using this practical demonstration.
That’s class bud!
I think you have the minerals to be a driver trainer mate👌 I like the way you simplify everything
Thanks Bro! No money in driver training though lol.
@@Deady2012 😂 probably not
Yet another easy to follow instructional vlog mate,you really make it easy to understand, thank you.Just saw that you passed your C&E well done & rightly deserved mate,onwards and upwards,any firm should be happy to employ someone I regard as a genuinely honest and hard worker,may I wish you all the best for the future and I look forward to the continually excellent vlogs.Cheers again my friend.Stay safe & keep on truckin'.
Nice one mate :) Appreciate your kind words!
got my reverse test tomorrow morning, I am being told to chase the yellow line and not put full opposite lock on straight away. got more training today but I am really struggling to reverse in a straight line. I have been driving a car for over 20 years but this trailer stuff is completely alien to me and not confident in the slightest although driving around town isn't a problem as I am more than happy driving forwards it's just the backwards bit I am having serious issues with and it's giving me a complex. fingers crossed it goes well tomorrow :/
Best best video
Thank you!
Welcome!
Superb video pal when I eventually do use my class1 license I will have to come back to this video 😁👍
Why not move up to Artic Tipper :) It's MINTTTT hahaha!
I may well do but unfortunately da firm I work for don’t have artic tippers
Fantastic
Great help Deady! Class 1, day 2 tomorrow at Red Rose.
Good luck pal!
Well did mate...that the way of your talking and face expressions are kind a unique...keep going buddy....you got new subscriber and when you make truck vlogs please set the camera through cabin view that could raise your views and helps to gain subscribers....greeting from srilanka 👌👌👍👍👏👏🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
thank you too sir
Sir Deady, I'm sure you're aware, but just letting you know that Ned Kelly featured you in his video yesterday. 👍👍👍👍👍
ERT_Mikey Ned gave him a good review 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the videos mate👍🏿 I'm starting my c+e lessons Thursday and test next week Wednesday. These videos done me good thanks alot.
Good luck mate!
@@Deady2012 thanks bro
Just a follow up from then I did pass my test first time, now working through an agency loving it ✌🏿✌🏿
Very informative well done 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Cheers mate! Definitely helping me out ready for tomorrow 😁😁😁
No problem 👍
@@Deady2012 got my test in the morning 😬😬
@@tomwoolley5410 did you pass?
@@l3w667 I did mate thank you 👌😁😁
@@tomwoolley5410 fuck yeah man, I'm 16 and want to do this as a career in the future any advice?
Nice. My concern with reversing is the length. Not maneuvering it but knowing when to stop before you hit the barrier. I've seen things about looking for a reference point on your lorry to get to another reference point and then you knownto stop but I'll have to wait till I start training to see what happens
Thanks Deady. Gives me a heads up before I start my Class 1 training in a couple of weeks. Anything else you think may help will be appreciated. Cheers.
It's easy to pass the test mate. Really simple. The reverse and couple is a piece of cake.... then just do a good 50 minute drive. Problem is on your own haha! That's where it becomes a ball ache hahaha!
Got my class 1 test on monday. 2 days away now. Wish me luck. I'll need it
Nice one buddy
Your hand at the bottom of the wheel advice works mate. Works easier than any 'Left hand down' shit haha!
Thanks for that buddy :)
I did both my Class 2 & 1 training where you are. They're good trainers there.
Just to add, I failed my 1st test on reversing. To be fair it was an issue juring my practise runs too. I did my test in the middle of winter. Because of the low Sun behind me, my view through the mirrors where completely dazzled, making it virtually impossible to see. Not only could you not see the cones, but the harder I looked in the mirror the more my eyes hurt from the Sun too. My instructor did recognise that it was an issue, but we both agreed that we would persivere. I passed my 2nd time by utilising the rules of the test. I used the bend in the trailer to block the sun from my mirrors, then used my 2 shunt allowances to streghten up, then used my head out the window to watch the marker into the bay.
Legend
Thanks
I remember the first time I turned up at an RDC to tip a trailer and said to the shunter, where are the A cones? What do I line my bit of tape up with. He just shook his head and scooted off across the yard in his Terberg.
Hi! I have failed my first HGV class 2 test because I have been practicing with my instructor and we used some pieces of wood as yellow box you are supposed to stop in in the reversing exercise, not mentioning the cones where not properly aligned and he told me to place the marker on the mud guard on the first black line before the box and that will be ok. The marker on the weel didn’t match at all within the real test so I wasn’t able to stop in the box with just 10 cm or so and I failed and felt like a stupid . I can drive and reverse but .. How do you from experience know where to place that marker on the back of the mud guard so you know you are parked in the right spot without hitting the barriers and also if you are allowed to use the camera as the man switch it of for me before going in to the test centre. Thank you very much, I would really appreciate your answer 🙏❤️
Hi, mate I'm going to start the process for class in next couple of weeks but thinking of doing class 1 straight after as a double course. What do you think am I best doing just the class 2 and do the class 1 at a later date?
I have just start my class 1 training today. I was surprised when I arrive at the yard and found out my training and test will be in a wagon and drag and not an artic. I have found driving forward is no problem so far but I am struggling with the reversing as the 5 wheel is in the middle. Have you or anyone else drove a wagon and drag and does anyone have any tips for reversing a WnD?
Help me a lot tank you!! 👍🇭🇺
Are u going to do class 1?
Peter Szabo yes i will next week :)

Did you do you test in a manual or automatic hgv as I thought all hgv test were in manual great vid keep up the good work
Only your class 2 needs to be done in a manual class 1 can be done in an auto. I think it's changing though if it hasn't already where you can do ur class 2 in an auto also n still get manual license.
@@HSMike2 if you did a manual car test, it carries on no matter what test you do. Has done for a while 😊
Auto mate.
@@HSMike2 Law changed in 2014. As long as you hold a manual car licence you can take Class 2, Class 1 and Bus tests in an Auto and it will count as a manual pass.
Got me test in 2 weeks. With the mod3a do you do the mod3b straight after ?
Thanks
Another fab vid mate, you would make a great instructor sir👍🚚🚛, have they fixed the 2 shitbox BUSSES YET ?💩💩
Was it all done in an automatic class 1? Trying to choose hgv company in same area. Thanks
The use of crawler gear for too long in areverse will damage the clutch resulting in failure ..
The facts that am struggling to make it straight like a ruler ..how do I maneuver the steering wheels
Cheers
Fantastic mate benefit of hindsight pity you did'nt give any cuts in your video of which way you was turning the steering wheel
They tell you which way mate. I could do it again maybe? Lol
I passed 2nd time on my class 1. My first time was a nightmare. I could not reverse the fucking thing. I literally failed as soon as I started to reverse from the front cones. I took 3 shunts in order to line up with the front starting cones. The examiner just told me that I have failed my test. He didn't even take me out for a drive for what I have already paid. I think the examiner thought that if I cant reverse how would I drive on the main road. I was not ready for my test that day. I took more lessons and i passed second time.
Hello, if anybody could help Me when to do quarter turn while passing B cone.
For what it’s worth, here’s my reversing tip. You already know that the space you’re reversing into is wide enough, so you only have to use the driver mirror and not swivel your head from side to side using both mirrors. WATCH THE REAR END OF YOUR TRAILER in your mirror because where your rear is going, that’s where you’re going. Once you line up your rear wheels, it’s simply a matter of straightening up.
You check your other mirror incase you’re going to hit something 🤦🏼♂️ Bad advice that lol!
@@Deady2012 If there’s nothing there as you begin the maneuver, as in the training video, it’s very unlikely a wall or some other object will suddenly appear.
Beiiant work buddy cant say a bad word about that buddy .
Nice one mate!
Ned kelly Ireland gave ya shout out yesterday buddy u wanna drop him a thanks bud 😀😀😀😀
How did you find the training at Red Rose? Thinking of doing my class 1 soon after driving class 2 for 10 years
They’re spot on.
👍
V in the trailer? Whereabouts is it?
its a bit different in a wag and drag
Doing the test easier than 1st day on job
Yeah
I think the hardest past is the theory
Hi deady I'm doing me class 2 I've just got to pass the driving test I'm looking to work straight after me test, I'm just worried about loading the vehicle.
I wouldn't worry about that too much buddy most loads unless its sharp stuff like steel will be ratchet straps and as a new passed driver you will be guided you will learn in time my friend it's really easy though so dont sweat it
@@HutchyJE thanks mate
I havn't been anywhere near fully loaded on a class 2. It can be nervy when they ask you how you want your load.... loaded.... but you have to just use a bit of common sense. Dont have a fuck tonne of weight on left hand side or right.... have it spread out... if you have an odd number of pallets have the last one at the back and in the centre, not loaded on the left or right. Check suspension, if you can see a gap between mudguard & tyre, you should be fine.... if warey, ask how heavy each pallet it, you have a right to know. Pallets of laminate i had was 700kg each, i know because i asked. if there is a place in the back to attatched a rachet strap, strap your load down.... regardless of how large or small, strap it. :)
@@Deady2012 thanks much appreciated
How do you manage to get so close without hitting it? Do they give you pointers?
Hi Deady, just wondering if you have found any class 1 work since you have passed?
Aye mate, tipper work as mentioned bud. Got lucky with it not going to lie....
Deady 2012 Nice one mate, good luck! I’ve just had my medical so will hopefully be having my class 2 lessons in the next couple of months
2 people give a thumbs down 👎 , are they DAFT ?
Got me a haters fanclub bud :) It's mega hahah!
Hi
keep it up mate gary from crewe
Sorry to say I cooked two tests don't think I will do a third driving 40 years harder than they say
I failed 4 times in reversing 😪😪
Class 1 test your videos have been a great help cheers man
1:10 I thought reversing was straight back not forward? #SorryNotSorry #IllSeeMyselfOut
You should be a instructor.
It’s not EASY it’s bloody impossible I’ve failed it 3 times can’t afford it any more so that’s it
I think the video should be on the outside cause we don't see what you are doing
