Driving Advice

Hey guys, so I recently started learning how to drive and I use a seat cushion to give me a height boost. I'm short. And I find that it's difficult for me to grasp the concept of reversing and reverse parking, and I'm also having problems seeing through the rear windshield as a result of my shortness lol. Any advice is welcome. Thanks a lot

Check into getting an aftermarket backup camera that wirelessly connects to your smartphone, I advise You have it professionally installed.

@NativePortlander1970 Better to have one that is independent of your 'phone, because you cannot and should not have your 'phone switched on while driving; and the screen needs be placed so you can see it easily.

I fitted a reversing-camera to my car, and it does help considerably in my narrow residential street, for both parking and exiting the kerb-side parking spot. It is wireless and has its own monitor. I wired the camera via a switch to the 12V ('cigarette lighter') socket's supply, and the screen has its own 12V plug. The screen is low down on the bottom near-side corner of the windscreen, level with the exterior mirror.
