How To Steer A Car In Reverse-Driving Tutorial

In this video, I show you how to steer a car in reverse. Many people find steering in reverse a bit counter-intuitive, but these tips will allow you to easily steer your car backwards like a pro! I talk about which way to turn the steering wheel when reversing, and outline the fact that the front end of your car will swing outwards if you turn the steering wheel too sharply while in reverse! It is a simple driving lesson that outlines one of the most basic driving skills that is pretty much required for everyday driving!

This helped me sooo much because I always got confused which way to turn the wheel.

[@tank3143]

Hannah LaBruzza Same went up the curb in my friends truck.

[@amarshawilliams6127]

Me too.....

[@sarahspunaugle8246]

Same and my test is tmrw

[@TayTayboo014]

Me too I thought it was the opposite way to turn the way you wanted to go

[@vvthetalentlessduo6976]

True

My anxiety level was so high thinking about reverse steering. I'm getting my very first car this week, your tips helped a lot!!! Thank you.

[@ashleysam1971]

So it's been a year.. Did you scratch your car yet? 😂.. I scratched my front bumper twice

[@bigmoneyboss7898]

For you guys wondering how reversing works here you go. If you want the rear to go left you turn left and if you want the front to go left you turn right. BOOM you got it!

[@travellcriner6849]

The teacher gets a 0/2 for his double ambiguity. I'd score you a 1/2. Talking about going to the right vs going to the left is pointless if you don't specify which part of the car since the rear goes left when the front goes right.
But there's another ambiguity most people fail to acknowledge; THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ROTATING A CIRCLE TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT (at least not in the sense meant in the video); If the top is heading rightward, the bottom is heading leftward. That's why we say clockwise vs counterclockwise!
So, to completely explain: *If you want the rear to go left, you turn the top of the wheel left. If you want the front to go left, you turn the top of the wheel right.*

[@stephanieihetu2848]

My dad is teaching me how to drive and he is a literal asshole who always yells at at me for everything so I freaking love your videos with your positive and cheerful attitude👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@divyapersaud80]

My dad is patient in teaching me but I feel so stupid for still not understanding how to reverse

[@flyguy4211]

Divya Persaud I’m very patient with my daughter too. This video really explains the reverse backing concept & the turning of the steering wheel for direction.

What are the difference type of reversing when driving a car? I would like to know. I only know about the reverse parking and I know there are more but I don't know what they are, can you help me please I like to learn more plus I like TH-cam channe

[@helangiravi8260]

This helped so much tysm

[@cremecake5638]

pls correct me if im wrong,
so if u look at where u want your REAR going, u gotta need to steer the wheel the same way.
exp: want the rear going to the left, so steer left.
but if you look at your front car, u want to go the left, so u need to steer the wheel to the right.

[@yasalenlasestrellas5913]

I'm 27 and just learning. Thank you for the video! :)

[@yny4l705]

If u wanna go left u turn the wheel left and if u wanna go right turn it right ?

[@vikenmelkonian6027]

verrrry goooooood thank you

[@gowryskitchen1915]

Hi brother how are you? Thanks for your lovely help.

[@c313zk6]

Just confused me when saying want to go to the left and to turn left but they're frontal view is turning right. I'm imagining the drivers actual front view to heading into the left direction, but I suppose they're meaning the rear of the vehicle? So the proper way to describe where you want to go in reverse is where you want your rear to be heading?
Like when I am backing out.. my end goal driving forward after the reverse is to drive on my right. So when I am reversing I am going to want the rear to head into the left direction so when I putt it in drive from reverse my front is now pointed towards the right.
Idk I am probably making it sound confusing when it really isn't. Suppose I am just nervous about finally driving. Got my permit and have driven around town a lot with my mom, but I have only reversed so little so not 100% on it. Suppose when I am reversing I just need to remember whether I go Left or Right that is the direction the rear will be heading.

[@tatuponga4024]

Same here!!!

[@tatuponga4024]

So Turning left means going right?

[@harshakrishnan2846]

Hii Is this same for left hand drive

[@siqbal8123]

Very good teching

[@hungkiet7535]

How you straight rear wheel while backing up?

[@elizabethgia1180]

How much do you turn the wheel to make it straight

[@ablatigo8455]

Finally I have find my driving instructor

[@a.k.4085]

This should be a requirement to watch before getting a license. Because that, parallel parking and parking up or down a hill are huge issues for a lot of people.

[@jmwaka9316]

thank you

[@helllocathy]

I was reversing out of my spot last night and hit a car ~_~

[@PC-by5lw]

thank you too much my brother

[@atifasghar8009]

I love your Hey every Bodyyyyyyyyy

[@kuukuyankson2033]

I hate it!

[@donutreply1435]

At 2:15 I thought u were talking about going in reverse but you went forward. Now I’m more confused. Also I just came from a blog that told me the complete opposite: directional turns are opposite when reversing car as opposed to straight ahead driving... someone help

[@oltitia]

Well elaborated, I thought it was the other way round

[@Wynter84]

Lol thought u hit the car with that sound. keep these videos coming

[@HelpfulDIY]

Hahaha no I didn't hit anything...this time (LOL). I have plenty more to come!!

[@Kanzfoundation]

Why does the background seem to be moving in the opposite direction? When he reverses the background feels like hes moving forward and vice versa

[@fangzhang3119]

So humorous! LOL!

[@a.s1626]

Thank u! that helps, but would have been better to see it from two perspectives.

[@tamasapatra397]

Thank you sir !

[@HelpfulDIY]

No problem!

[@shahrozalijafri8816]

I also have a tip if you wanna reverse put the car in reverse floor it and then hope for the best,lol

[@HelpfulDIY]

Hahaha that's a good tip if you're in an open area with nobody around!

[@shahrozalijafri8816]

Helpful DIY lol but do this in heavy traffic

[@smartdrivetest]

Hi Syed shahroz Ali Jafri - that's a great tip, and I think there are a number of drivers that do drive using "the force" when backing up. I've seen a numerous drivers back into a spot, touch the car behind them and then readjust. And I've had people admit to me that that is the way that they drive. LOL All the best, Cheers Rick

[@allenzulu012]

Helpful

[@pearl9731]

my dad was tryna teach me how to drive but im too stupid lmfao thanks for this

[@zachbaquiran7796]

Bruh same ahhahahaha

[@ozlxm]

you’re not stupid it just takes time to get used to driving :)

[@supportclevelandmetalscene9856]

Slightly still confused. When you reverse and you want to turn right, do you cut the wheel to the left?

[@faithwilliamchannel]

I just had my driving license but I'm afraid in reversing because it's confusing me. I went out with my master car last week, when coming back home, i wanted to pack it on reverse just as she use to pack it, but it took me more than 20 minutes turning left and right because i was confused and i didn't know where the tires were heading too☹🙁 ever since i stopped parking with reverse because it's like a punishment to me

[@EagleBen]

Yo ain't this the guy who stole the Chipmunks?

[@coldgunztv9072]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@arielbrathwaite2037]

Lol that windscreen wiper scared me. I genuinely thought he hit that body car.

[@sizzlingsavisavi1231]

No snowfall in this video

[@ishal33]

im still lost i thought if you wanted to go left you steer to the right and vice vers

[@lagigiene4251]

Isha Lee me too

[@lagigiene4251]

basically you adjust not to turn the whole steering wheel .

[@lagigiene4251]

Isha Lee 😂😂😂😂 🤔🤔

[@softpinksmooches]

Basically, where you want the back of your car to move to, that's where you steer.
If you turn the handle to the right the back will move to the right but the FRONT will point/move to the left, if that makes sense.

[@estheranoumanw.119]

thank u Bernadette

[@yny4l705]

So u don’t turn it the opposite direction

[@Anabia361]

U shuld turn the steering wheel slowly to show how many turns r u taking

[@chetanapoudel6633]

I never gonna pass my road test i know
