Before You Begin
Before shifting into reverse, channel your inner hawk and check the space behind your car for any obstacles—bikes, children, or even that friendly neighborhood
stray dog. Remember, safety first! Slowly release the brake and gently press the accelerator.
Mirror, Shoulder, Go!
Always look over your shoulder and use your mirrors; don't solely rely on them. Move slowly, correcting your steering with small adjustments. Avoid those sharp, dramatic turns. Think of it like a Bollywood dance move – smooth and steady wins the day!
Parking Pointers
For parking, line up your car, check both sides, and angle your steering gradually. Modern cars with rear-view cameras and parking sensors make life easier. But, make it a habit to manually check your blind spots; it's always a safer bet on the IN roads.
Easy Reverse Cars
Smaller hatchbacks like the Maruti Suzuki Swift, Hyundai i20, or Tata Tiago, and compact SUVs such as the Kia Sonet and Hyundai Venue are usually easiest to reverse. Their size, light steering, and good visibility are big advantages for IN drivers navigating crowded streets.
Tricky Reversers
Large SUVs and luxury sedans like the Toyota Fortuner, Mahindra Scorpio, or Mercedes S-Class are more challenging due to their size and limited visibility. Pick-up trucks and vans also pose difficulties. But don’t worry, practice and patience are key to mastering reversing, no matter your car!
