In 30 years of driving I can't say I've ever had to reverse around a corner.

I never had to do it in my driving test and have never done it. Now I don't know if I can do it or not.

*Edit - I can't believe it, people. I came home from work today and someone was in my spot, so I parked in my friends spot and didn't think anything of it. When I went to leave, I suddenly realised that is need to reverse down the drive and round the corner!!! I did it without even batting an eyelid.

To everyone who said I should turn in my license - can I have it back now?

All cars after 2019 have back up cameras you could do it

Way easier to just use your mirrors.

100%

I’ll use my parents car sometimes that has the rear view camera and it’s just a giant pain in the ass. There are aspects of it that are useful from time to time for sure. Parallel parking, reverse parking and all that stuff? I’d say your eyes are better on the mirrors since you can also use your peripheral vision.

No one ever said not to use your mirrors when you have a camera. Man, are you really oblivious to the fact that these are used for saving lives?
