A mate of mine bought a new Nissan van with a reversing camera. "What's it like I asked him?" "Absolutely brilliant" he replied "I got a really good look at the 8 metre skip I reversed in to!" They are very good IMHO but no substitue for old fashioned observation and a bit of common sense. He is a w@nker though to be fair!:)

reversing a new van with a r/c into a skip...?? yep , he's a wanker alright.

I had one on a company van I used to use.
I found it very off putting and couldn't use it, I was taught to drive a long time ago and don't have the need for one.
Much easier to use my own judgement, it hasn't failed yet.

This one won’t be on my van…I’m actually more confident of parking vans than cars…partly because the van has already got a few knocks from other cars going into it ..front, back and side :moo:

You sound like my wife, every time our car gets a knock I notice after she has used it, always other drivers never her :wink:

My Mrs car has a reversing camera built in and sensors. Brilliant, use it all the time when parking as shows how close I really am as opposed to how close I think I am.

Wife's kashkai has a monitor that shows from above the car, the car and white parking lines etc, like there is a drone 6' above the car (there isn't cos I've looked!). I do not understand how this can work.
As an aside the other day she said she hadn't hit anything for years, I said what about the smashed wing mirror a couple of weeks ago, oh wing mirrors don't count!!

Why do you need a reversing camera or a proximity beeping device when a crunching or clonking sound tells you when you're back far enough?
