Methods of reversing?
Discussion
My dad reverses his car by looking out of the back window, or down the side at all times. I rarely look out of the back, instead lining my car up using the wing mirrors - with occasional glances to the rear to check for safety. I've tried looking through the back window - but I'm below average height so I can't see a lot.
Now, without wishing to boast, 99% of the time I can parallel and reverse bay park first time. I've never hit anything. My dad, using the rear-window method finds it difficult to back his car into a bay and always seems to end up closer or, on top of one line. Recently he has collided with a bollard and the gatepost of our driveway.
However, on programmes such as Traffic Cops, the police drivers always seem to back their cars up by looking through the back - is there any advantage to this method if done properly?
