How to reverse a B-Double (DDT)

A lot of MC operators drive for years before fully understanding how to reverse a B Double, save some time by learning some tips on how to do it properly from on of our senior trainers Alan Rutland who currently holds over 55 years experience and counting! Tips on reversing a B-double from the man himself, Alan Rutland I have received a few messages about some information contained in Alan’s chat, so thought I would clarify for you. 1. Alan is being cheeky with his statistics on how many B double drivers can reverse, we understand there are lots of very talented B double drivers out there. 2. When discussing on how to learn to reverse- what Alan is trying to say is you can’t learn how to reverse ONLY by driving them, you also need to understand how to position your trailers correctly, for some this can be done after much driving practice, for others this can be done quickly by using aids such as the toy technique discussed. 3. Everyone who wishes to complete their MC Licence upgrade must successfully demonstrate reversing techniques by PRACTICALLY reversing a B double for more than 70 meters in a straight line. 4.
