I am from Canada and I have to admit that these instructors can teach our instructors in Canada. Amazing method of teaching, so gentle way of explaining the LOGIC in driving. I wish I had instructors like these two gentlemen, who know what they are talking about. Thanks for your video and the sharing of your valuable experience. Cheers
Thank you so much Jessy 👍👍

Thank you Richard, Hang in there not long now👍👍👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre Hi I passed my test on July 12, these videos have really down to earth worked on my test, I have been on many excursions, private hire, school contracts, loving my new job.. Thanks again guys
@@richardstill1298 Great work Richard, Best of luck.
Excellent Guys thank you
No problem. We hope it helps.
i found this slightly amusing ! Got my D1 first time pass at Bath bus depot ( no longer in existance now, although the bus station is ) i think there is still room for personal driver improvement by using JP Industry standard - Shisa kanko. i must be the ONLY driver in this country to practice it, and happy to do so - it DOES work !
We'll bare it in mind!
I teach this, the form I use is ‘pre commentary’.
I like that clip on mudguard 😜 had that in other training centre very helpful
Thank you so much👍👍
Godbless you guys!
Thank you so much Aga👍👍👍
Great video
Thank you so much👍👍👍
Well explained
Thanks
Thank you so much👍👍
Just finished week 1 with stagecoach, done this on day 1 and this video helped so much! Not hit a cone as of yet. Done it 10 times this week at least and nailed it every time! Absolutely loved getting out on the roads too, roundabouts tight turns. And as a bonus we done a slalom around the cones then reverse slalom back through them.. I’m in love with learning the bus already 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great work glad to hear it's going so well. Best of luck for the next phase. Good luck for the test. 👍👍👍👍🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Very good video, ☺️
Thank you so Much.

@@NationalDrivingCentre I'm reading my book right now, with German language is not easy.. "smiling" I got more confidence after going through your video thanks so much
Please I have a very important question to ask you..Sir ..is this permits to reverse the Bus , while I am trying to get the 🏁??
Must it be ones reverse as a car 🚗..help me to get this understanding sir .. thanks your beloved Lizzy...have a great day Sir Good job.. thanks
@@oluwatobilobaosarimenaiwuy6674 Sorry Lizzy I’m not sure what your question is.
In California they do this a little different they set the cones on one side until you reach the 3 cone then turn your wheel to the left and back in
Thank you so much for your comment. It's nice to know what other people and other countries are getting up to. Thank you so much. 👍👍👍
Very helpful
Thank you so much.
@@NationalDrivingCentre you are welcome
Thank you so much try again Sir 🇮🇳🇰🇼🇸🇬🙏
No problem 👍👍
It's cool 😎
thank you 👍👍👍👍
The only way you're going to learn how to operate these vehicles is practice, practice, practice and practice some more. As an example, a 60' Articulated MAN Transit Bus take it off a fuel island and to the back row and BACK it into a standard width parking space 65' long and don't hit the fence at the back of the parking space. Did that daily for years. Or participate in a BusRodeo and have a REAL right hand turn into a bus stop and be within the 6" measurement for both front and rear tires on a single lane into a two lane and not cross into the opposing traffic lane with a 40' transit bus. I'm a retired transit bus mechanic and supervisor. LOVED the work.
Some interesting points however, practice does not always make perfect and learning by your mistakes is not the We need to operate on the roads. As making mistakes will result in injury or harm.
Thank you for your input and your comments 👍
Great 👍
Thank you so much👍👍
Much different compared to Ireland we just simply have to do a simple reverse around a corner which is very easy once you get the initial turn in point to not start out too wide before straightening up
Very interesting, thank you so much for your input. 👍👍👍👍
This is useful
Thank you so much 👍👍
A step by step video on how to reverse would much more beneficial.
My instructor told me to do two dry steering, take one turn off when your one foot away from the yellow line and keep reversing until you see the cones
There are many different ways this can be taught but try steering can damage the concrete and put flat spots on the tyres so it is not something we teach. 👍👍👍
Yeah that’s not the best advice they give you there to be honest you ruin the tyres with flat spots, not to mention the floor too 😮
You mentioned the marker on the final part of the reverse,but not that it should be level with your wing mirror when you stop,at least on a typical single decker.. Also start with a one and a quarter turn on the steering wheel as a guide.
The markers on our vehicles are specifically placed to make sure the vehicle is in the reversing area at the end of the exam. We don't count turns on steering purely because the approach can be in different places when they come up to the cones because of this if you teach counting turns the student can compromise yellow line at the beginning. 👍👍
It's like reversing and big car ,easy
So true👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre C+E IS A DIFFERENT ANIMAL LOL
Great
Thank you so much.
Hi guys, nice video, well presented, making it all sound very simple. In the video the guy driving the bus explained the process well. He referred to (to get the back within the hatched marking) reference points/markers he would look for, to know when to stop.... but he didn’t elaborate on what those markers or reference points are or could be? Any suggestions/advice.... other than that, great vid, thank you👍
Hi Graham, thank you for taking the time to comment. The markers and reference points change from company to company. You would be advised by the individual company what their preferred methods are :)
@@NationalDrivingCentre What is the "pass requirement please? I've heard for D1 vehicles it just has to be in the yellow box. Would value your thoughts. Great vid by the way. Very clear and decisive.
@@gussmedways this is correct for all PCV/PSV vehicles. For example, D1 and D you have to get the most extreme rear of the vehicle into the yellow box for LGV HGV. They have to enter the black hatched area. You cannot make contact with the cones and the wheel cannot cross the yellow line. Thank you for your comments. I hope this helps. If you've got any other questions, please give us a call.
Kind Regards Paul
@@NationalDrivingCentre Thanks for your prompt reply. Very helpful!
@@gussmedways No problem at all. Best of luck.
Nice
Thank you👍👍
I have heard that the DVSA are thinking of dropping the reversing exercise from the test. My opinion is that at most bus stations you have to reverse out of a bay. I have my bus test on the 10/11/2021 lol
Unfortunately Andro thats not correct, Instead of the DVSA assessing the reverse it will be assessed by the training provider. Still to the same standard.
@@NationalDrivingCentre Thanks for the reply
@@NationalDrivingCentre so will this be during the actual test or separately?
Still struggling with this 😢 I don't know why... it looks so easy... monday the 20/05/24 I have test on this.. everything I have passed theory 97/100 hazard 76/100 then I had the 48/50 and module 4 100/100 and just this and driving test... training with Cardiff Bus company ❤
Best of luck, keep the observation high and not to fast, you will be great 👍👍👍🤞
How do you know how far to reverse in that yellow box as no parking camera
There is a marker on each individual vehicle 👍🏼
i like the video, why arent there marked bays like there is in car parks?
That's a great question, I'm guessing. There cannot be too many guidelines on the ground. Having the cones gives the student a hazard to observe and avoid rather than following lines on the ground. Thank you so much 👍👍
If I did use the shunt and chose to get out to check bus is in the hatchings is this considered a minor on your test as I got told if I did a shunt or get out to check if I'm in the hatchings then that be a minor for each? Thanks
A great question. The shunts are the only thing that will give you a minor. Getting out to check is just standard and the examiner will invite you to have a look.👍👍
I done the exact same exercise 25 yrs ago .
And I’m still driving buses and coaches 😭😭😭😭
Gibbs, surely you must enjoy it really if you never left?!
I assume you get some practice in before doing the test? I've seen a bus driver job going, I'm nervous to apply.
Yes, during your training you will get practice for this exercise. 👍👍👍
There is a much easier way to do this.
1. Turn wheel left 360 (quickly)
2. Keep reversing until you see ALL THREE poles
3.Turn wheel right 720 (quickly)
4. Glide in and adjust accordingly.
It really is that simple.
DON’T touch the accelerator use the brake the same way you would use a clutch to bring to the bite. The key is to do it all at one speed.
Trust me once you do it once, you’d wonder why you should do it any other way.
Thank you so much for the comment, unfortunately having been training for a number of years. Teaching this technique doesn't work with every student as when they approach the cones there positioning can very from time to time, so therefore teaching this can often cause students to cross the line. Doing it the way we have described makes the student use there mirrors and observe where they are positioned at all times rather than counting turns which doesn't always work.
@@NationalDrivingCentre All students are different but the three turns method is beyond anything else. Still got plenty of time for observations.
Yeah because you know better than an instructor don’t you 🫣
@@petercoyne8300 15 years I’ve been an instructor
and I was a couple of rows up from you in Park End
@@ArnoldClarke why you commenting on another instructors page trying to give them advice then? Make your own page with your own advice 😂
I live in the US 🇺🇸 and been a Bus Operator for 7 years now. Over here Bus Drivers have get a "Commercial Class B Drivers License" through the DMV (Department Of Motor Vehicles.) The previous transit company I worked for practice this type of maneuver; however, drivers are not allowed to reverse a coach without a spotter per current employer.
Thank you so much for your comment.👍👍
Is the test the same for buses and coaches? Would this video benefit someone doing a test for coach driver?
Yes, it would be the same. The only difference could be luggage stowing compartments would need to be checked and any toilet or kitchen areas as well. 👍👍👍
i’m not even a bus driver just thought i’d watch the video
Thank you so much.👍👍
Am I right in thinking you can no longer get driving faults on the reversing exercise. Just a serious. So it's now a pass or fail?
No, it's still possible to pick up driving faults on the reversing exercise. 👍
I got told today you cannot drive up to left cone, it has to be in the centre of cones A and A1, this was an examiner
The examiner will tell you to be in the centre but this is not a pass or fail. keep to the left as long as the examiner can see the A cone and The B cone this is the main criteria.
@@NationalDrivingCentre yes I was on my way over to the left cone and she told me I had to be in the centre, I struggled to keep it off the yellow line on the offside
Hi...
I'm from India.
I would love to join you.
Is there any particular procedure?
Best thing to do is check out our website this will talk you through the whole procedure.👍👍👍
Basically the same test as hgv class 2?
Bingo! Same rigid body. Same principle 🤘🏼
Thanks guys. You are based in Croydon, are you? I am in Bedfordshire. I want to learn to drive. Would you recommend any place up this side?
Yes we are based in Croydon. Sorry not sure of any training schools around there.👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre thank you.
I’m going to travel from Preston in Lancashire very soon to the NDC to learn I must be mad 😮
So my question is: if you are not happy with it and you havent hit the barrier, can you go back in the bus and reverse it a bit more?
Absolutely correct Tomas. Jump out, have a look and if not happy, hop back in and reverse back a little more. You can do this only once though. Hope this helps!
@@NationalDrivingCentre thank you for clarifying, I feel alot better now!
No worries Tomas! :)
@@NationalDrivingCentre Is this considered a minor though as I got told it is? Same with using a shunt? Thanks
Sir total expense how many
Please have a look at our website and this will talk you through all the prices. 👍👍👍 alternatively, give us a call and we can chat through this.
Hell sir❤❤❤❤
Thank you 👍👍👍
How many shunts are allowed and can you only get out and check once on pcv reversong test
You will be allowed 2 shunts and you can get out and check once. 👍👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre my son just passed this and was told by the examiner you were not allowed to get out and check????
@@PaulphotoeyeVideo Great work on the pass 👍👍.
Examiner is blurb at the beginning of the test, will tell you that you can get out and have a look to check your distance no issue whatsoever.
@@NationalDrivingCentre he passed but confused as couldn't confirm the correct info.
Anyway he passed.
On to the the driving test on a few days.
The bus company he is with in house train their drivers , but getting a date for the driving part test is several weeks late.
He has to go to a different town nearly 50miles away.
Everyone is encouraged to take up these driving professions, but getting tests is difficult in Norfolk.
Ipswich test centre had availability. Would be helpful to find the test routes for pcv, but not actually available as he is driving in Ipswich for two days next week to get a feel for the town.
How do you know how close the back of the bus is to the barrier?
On our vehicles, we have a hosepipe on the back of the mudguard which tells us where the rear of the vehicle is when the student gets the hose pipe to the back of the black line. Then I know when to stop.
Obviously this can be different for different companies, but we've been using this for over 20 years. Hope this helps. Best of luck. 👍👍👍
You can draw a square on the bus door and stop the bus when that box is in line with the cone
@@fruitdemer201 Please don't draw on our doors, and use the hosepipe as you've been taught🤣🤣
Does the examiner accept that you don't drive inside both cones? Can you fail if you do a wrong reversing and hit the cone or need to do driving and other stuff
Yes the examiner will tell you to go within the cones, so whether you go to the left or the right they will be happy. If you do make contact with a cone, then you will fail, and of course if The Tyre crosses the line you will fail. Hope this helps. If you've got any questions, please give us a call. 👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre thank you replying. In this case need to go through the cones or is OK your way stay before left cone
@@londondaddy7013 Stay to the left, as long as the examiner can see the A cone and the B cone then they will be happy. Once you leave this gap. This will give you more room to the yellow line.
Failed my PCV driving test today because of reversing. I had 1 minor throughout the test.
I asked my instructor for help with reversing yesterday due to lack of confidence and she said no.
Failed due to hitting the first cone ( lonely B cone)
I would advise more instructions and practice prior to the test. 👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre They have booked me another test for end of this week.
I tried the full lock method and messed up.
Will any examiners mark you down for leaving the engine running when you leave the cab to check the finish position?
When doing my Cat C it was drummed into me to turn the engine off whenever I left the cab so I feel uneasy about it?
Good practice to turn it off but as long as the handbrake is on and in neutral, you'll be fine 👍🏼
@@NationalDrivingCentre thanks for clearing this .... gives a lot confidence to know
Can I get a bus driver job thier IAM an Indian license holder with HPV and HGV with 6 years experience
