honestly what i did was thought to myself. I want to turn right, so turn the wheel left. I want to turn left, so turn the wheel right. Just think of the opposite, and then eventually you will get it.

driving in reverse is hard. i find it easier to set my side mirrors to each side of my van to see the top of the wheel wells, and allow 2" clearance on the sides. a realitively easy way would be to go to a parking lot, set the mirrors up, and work on backing into an empty spot. with just a little bit of practice, it will come to u in no time, and u wont have to worry about bumping into any cars either. the hardest part of backing is, learning how to judge distances. that'll come to u with practice. the more u do it the easier it'll get.

Well I had the same problem and the way I was taught was if you want the car to go left, then steer right and vice versa, you should try it untill you get the hang of it.

backing up is the hardest thing about driving but dont worry you'll get it down
the best thing for you to do is practice
go somewhere like a empty parking lot and just practice parking
you might get some of those road cones and place them
just practice untill you get it right
just relax and take your time and you'll have it in no time

think in circles. If you turn the wheel right you will always go right, if you turn the wheel left you will always go left. if you keep going you will make a circle. good luck.

I was the same way when I started driving. all you need to do is practice over and over. it will be scary sometimes but the more you do it, the more comfortable it will be for you.

Right is right. You'll get the hang of it with practice.
