Yup, whilst facing forward, turn head approx 90 degrees over left shoulder!!!! now heres the tricky bit...... at the same time rotate upper body in the same direction until you can see through rear window, then proceed with your manouevre. Throw camera in bin.Works for me ;)

Reversing sensors are good, but make sure you don't accidently hit a gate post whilst testing them!
