Sully One, if you know what's good for you, you'll do what I did and get your Mum to teach you to drive and not your Dad.

Backing with a trailer is the fastest way to loose your self-esteem as a man I think. If you haven't got any significant experience with the little fuckers it's bloody hard... but there's still an expectation from everyone that of course you can back it up no worries.

Some of the stuff that the truckies pull off with articulated trailers and multi-link roadtrains is just amazing. My uncle used to be a farmer - he'd reverse with a train consisting of a tractor, a hay baler and a hay rack.

Yep, it's just one of those things that men are expected to be able to do

Refuse transfer stations are always good for a laugh!

My mum taught me to back a trailer - when we used to put the boat in down at the boat ramp she would back it down whilst Dad took it off the trailer. Any blokes standing nearby would give each other the elbow and stand watching with arms folded, no doubt thinking: this should be good. They were always disappointed as she sent that trailer flying down the ramp at warp speed

And the littler they are, they harder they are too! My old trailer had a piddly-arse drawbar on it and was very twitchy. I'm not perfect, but I can usually get it where I want it eventually.

Those truckies certainly are amazing

I could watch them for ages.

Try backing a trailer using just the mirrors.... having a heavy trailer licence... with plenty of time spent towing those... helps...
A sunny sunday arvo at any boat launching ramp is always entertainment...
