Reversing lights

[Ariel Badger]

Just bought one of these clicky sounds a brilliant idea and simple to instal.
The kids next door love to play in the street and love to drive me mad. I am dead scared that one of them will be in my huge blind spot when I reverse the van out.

Reverse your van in then drive out. Just some blue sky thinking outside the box.

Does it still light up?

Interested in getting one for my company van.

Hmm could be an interesting practical joke if it fits any sockets on a bike .

It should fit standard indicator sockets and bikes with single filament brake light bulbs.

Was thinking of getting my brother and putting one in the high level brake light bulb on the Toyota.

[MattHirst]

Judging by the description on the gay of E, it replaces one of the reversing lights with a 'beeper'. It seems to me that it doesn't light up, and it is going on the assumption that you have 2 reversing lights (so one lights up, the other one beeps)

Which is quite a good idea, provided that you have 2 reversing lights to start with, a lot of the newer cars/vans or whatnot only have 1 reversing light, the other side is generally a fog light

Been googling.

It has a beeper internally and a 20w halogen capsule bulb on the end of it.

I used to love driving the 3.5t Luton vans at work. So easy to reverse.

I'm one of these people who were natural at reversing. The parallel park is easy.

[Ariel Badger]

I have never got the grasp of parallel parking at all. Never even tried it in the Land rover but I do have a try in the van but sensors would help. I did a PP the other day and thought I was very close to the car behind, when I got out and looked the gap was about four foot.

I love teaching people how to reverse, 90% of the time faults are down to speed and observations. people go too fast and don't look enough.

When reversing a LWB transit, the procedure was to hang my head out of drivers window and look back, passenger does same.

"Am I near anything?"

"Yes"

*Slams on!*, said passenger then smashes head on window frame

I like driving big vans, just not had enough practice reversing.

I had one of those bulbs in a transit, I could hear it inside when reversing, outside however was a different matter!

Reversing vans are easy with the huge mirrors.

Yeah I prefer reversing smaller stuff that way, just struggle judging how long the van is from using the mirrors.

How I reverse a trailer

Drive forward to near where you want to end up, get out and unhitch trailer along with bike. Push to where you want it to be. With help from bystander reverse van roughly in direction of trailer, when close get out and drag trailer to van and hitch back up.
Am I gay?
