It was and still is disorienting to me. I use it first to verify no children or obstacles are in the way, then rely on looking over my shoulder. Then I use it again when I'm getting close to something.
I'm completely disoriented trying to use it to back up in a trailer. If I thought very hard, I could figure it out, but it doesn't flow naturally like looking over my shoulder. I don't have to think while looking over my shoulder because I've practiced it so much that it's a muscle memory type of task.
Unrelated- I was surprised to learn recently from several women that proficiency in backing up a trailer is attractive/impressive.
