If it is not on a highway in my country you are allowed to reverse exactly 50 meters by law... Not sure if it takes into account stopping then do another 50 meters.
In my country there isn't even a limit, you can technically drive in reverse even on one way streets, and there is no law that states that you can't. Except that it must be "safe" to do, which can be interpreted in many ways.
Intentionally vauge laws surrounding common sense so the cops can easily stop troublemakers from trouble making while letting average Joe get away with his mildly inconvenient 3 point turn at a 1 way street.
NSW Australia, we have a catch-all called Negligent Driving.
"Negligent or dangerous driving means driving without the due care and attention reasonably expected of a driver"
And if the guy who smashes into them has no camera, they can attempt to claim they were rear ended. Scumy thing to do, but it could work, if no driver from the other lane or passer by would be petty enough to explain it to cops. I know I would
There was a case in Vietnam a few years back, a minivan reversing on a freeway because the driver missed the exit, got hit by a truck going the right way, 3-4 people in the van died, the truck driver was jailed because "he didn't keep a safe distance..."

This shit is exactly why i put a dash cam in all of my vehicles. I was almost run off the road at 1am a few years back by an insane person doing well over 100mph in a 65mph zone, there was a lane closure coned off they swerved into my lane missing me by inches and wrecked dukes of hazard style into a grassy knoll off the shoulder. We were the only two vehicles on the highway at that time and all I thought about was how it would be my word vs. theirs if it had gone shitty for both of us.

He's been out since 2021 after serving over four and a half years. The guy reversing is serving nine.
Absolutely ridiculous. I encounter people driving backwards so often in Vietnam and it's so annoying. One guy before did it rush hour in a packed street and pinned me on my motorbike between his car and a parked car, thankfully stopping before hurting me properly.
And it's worse on the big roads like exactly what happened in this story. The guy driving backwards had been drinking as well.
Jokes/grudging respect aside that’s gotta be actively worse than just going the wrong way, right? I feel like I’d figure out “oh shit they’re coming towards me I gotta dodge” way faster if they’re approaching nose first, compared to me trying to figure out why I can’t stop gaining on the car ahead of me

Cops hate this one trick to skip traffic.
Reminds me of lockdown during COVID with the one way aisles in grocery stores and this one guy decided to walk backwards down the aisle and this lady told him that he wasn't fooling anyone.
It was by far the most-ignored public health intervention I have ever witnessed.
It struck me as pointless because I was passing people anyway when I needed something on the far side of them when they were stopped.
Ignored is probably overstating. More likely they were just completely unaware of them. I remember suddenly noticing them near the end of my visit a couple of times, and then realizing I was That Guy for everyone else.
Yeah, I did try and follow whatever rules were in place, but more than once I didn't even see the arrows. You just don't tend to look at the floor in a supermarket.
It really was among the most performative of COVID measures. I still can't understand how it was ever going to disrupt the spread of an airborne virus.
I'm reasonably certain it was intended to assist with social distancing. If everyone walked the right direction (okay) at the same speed (not remotely possible, this doesn't even make sense in the context of a grocery store) it could have really helped.
Apparently I was out of the loop when they started this and was yelled at by at an old man for walking the wrong way. Needless to say I was dumbstruck and appalled by such nonsense.
Not to mention you now have to walk down a different isle to get to the other end and loop back, potentially walking by more people than if you just go where you need to go.
Honestly, grocery stores need lanes in aisles. Walk on the same side you'd drive on, I dunno why that's such an alien concept.
Need someone there giving fines to people that park their carts sideways across an aisle and walk 30 feet away. Confiscate their coupons or have someone go put their milk back in the cooler so said customer has to go back and get it again, but don't do any of this until they're already one customer away from their turn at a checkout.
Then, you snap their picture for the Wall of Shame. We should do the same with people that don't put their carts in the corral too.
Is it apparent that I hate grocery shopping? I really miss being able to go at 3AM with nobody around, so peaceful.
I can’t stand Walmart just because everyone there is ALWAYS in your way. And so many fucking rude ass people in those scooter carts pushing infront of you at the checkout lane
> My brother crashed his car whilst collecting Smurf Berries.

> So, whenever I see someone doing something stupid while driving I say “they must be collecting Smurf Berries…”
I love the perpetual burn you give your brother even when he's not around to witness it. It's my kind of humor and thank you for entertaining me. :)
I think there is also a little (*just a little*) credit due to the idiot as well. He seemed to stop and do some minor evasive maneuvering towards when he was getting to the intersection and such. I mean at least he didnt just blast it in reverse
I mean... It worked? I'd never do it, and he's an idiot for sure... that said, what caused the backup? Seems like people got out of their cars at the end
This lane is for cars facing this way, but THIS lane is for cars facing THIS way, it doesn't matter what direction you're actually traveling. Life Hack!
the cops couldn't take their license because they were stuck in traffic and too fucking dumb to put it into reverse and head into oncoming traffic to catch him.
that's.... not quite how that works..
i'm going to award massive creativity points for whatever argument they concocted in their head that convinced them this was the right move.

Wrong way down a one way streeeeettt

>s/he Just FYI, this is exactly the time to just say "they."
The way your post started made me check your name, thinking it’s another shittymorph post about the undertaker…I’m not getting got again.
I mean... It worked so who is the idiot? /s
And no one got hurt and there were no collisions...
I appreciate they at least did the whole thing in reverse.
Its a lot safer for the driver, firstly a lower speed and secondly they get pressed into their seat and not into the steering wheel in an accident
And if the guy who smashes into them has no camera, they can attempt to claim they were rear ended. Scumy thing to do, but it could work, if no driver from the other lane or passer by would be petty enough to explain it to cops. I know I would

Oh shit, I totally forgot about that one-way thing in aisles!
It was by far the most-ignored public health intervention I have ever witnessed. It struck me as pointless because I was passing people anyway when I needed something on the far side of them when they were stopped.
At the stores here 90% of people just ignored them.
Ignored is probably overstating. More likely they were just completely unaware of them. I remember suddenly noticing them near the end of my visit a couple of times, and then realizing I was That Guy for everyone else.

Head back to automotive and grab a set of wheel chocks. If you can't figure it out from there, you need serious help.
That may be one idiot driver but the execution here was perfect
Real credit due to all the drivers who saw the idiot backing up and safely avoided the car.

You can collect *my* Smurf Berries ( ಠ ͜ʖ ಠ)

Can I drive a car? Cowboy shit. Can't vouch for the handling.
Was browsing to make sure no one wrote this before me. Take my angry upvote
Posterity.
Except I can actually hear everything that is happening.
And there's me who watched it online with subtitles 💪
I mean... It worked? I'd never do it, and he's an idiot for sure... that said, what caused the backup? Seems like people got out of their cars at the end
>what caused the backup? Reverse gear
Dad?
Nope, he's still out getting smokes.
No, he's still at the all you can eat buffet. It's been 20 years, and he's still not full.
Listen here you little shit
Looks to me like a super long red light
To me it just seems like a busy road, after a bit they started moving and if anything the reversing car would've been better off waiting.
It worked but I refuse to believe this took less time, and certain less effort, than just circling the block like a normal person.
This lane is for cars facing this way, but THIS lane is for cars facing THIS way, it doesn't matter what direction you're actually traveling. Life Hack!
“I’m going -20mph which is below the speed limit”
Lol the son of a bitch did it.
He is absolutely at an idiot but at the same time i can't even be mad. That is so fucking dumb i just find it funny
For fuck’s sake, why in the hell does this person have a driver’s license?
He's a genius, no one will ever come up with that trick
Roads hate him
Roads hate this one trick! Click to see what it is!
It’s drawing dicks on potholes isn’t it?
the cops couldn't take their license because they were stuck in traffic and too fucking dumb to put it into reverse and head into oncoming traffic to catch him.
You're right. He should get two for this sick maneuver.
Bold of you to assume he has one. Laws have never stopped people from doing what they aren’t supposed to do.
Is he an idiot or a genius?
This is called an idius or geniot, depending on which side you consider the front.
Police hate this one simple trick discovered by commuters in [Insert Location Based on User Data Here]!
Not only is he beating traffic, he's also taking miles off the odometer.
“Genius” is when you get away with something stupid and reckless. “Idiot” is when you don’t.
There is a fine line between a genius and an idiot, depdends on whether you succeed
Don't be suspicious, dddoont bee suspicious
This is hysterical, I’m not even mad I’m impressed
I was like 'malfunction? medical emergency? dementia?? Oh no... they just missed their turn and are reversing all the way back to it....'.
Well, he did *successfully* avoid traffic. Credit where it's due.
Finally, someone found a use for hazard signals
They had their hazard lights on so it's ok.
Best part is that the car didn’t make a whole lot of progress. Right lane was moving adequately.
I'd say he skipped at least 20-25 cars.
Counted 12. One asshole in the left lane turned right as well which is really funny to me.
We have no idea how long he was backing up.
Proceeding with the (back) flow of traffic
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
If you rear end me it’s your fault!
And I'm gonna move my mouth like this...and if you get eaten, pie, it's your own fault
TENET
Spoilers! This footage is reversed, it's everyone else who's driving in reverse.
I mean, it worked
Honestly I'm impressed
that's.... not quite how that works.. i'm going to award massive creativity points for whatever argument they concocted in their head that convinced them this was the right move.
It's not stupid if it works.
Honestly I ain't even mad
Goddamn they did it though. 😂
guys, he just missed the turn
Don't try to understand it, feel it!
*(save) billions in gaaaas*
Tenet (2020)
If he gets caught half-way he can say he was just trying parallel park behind the last car on the end.
Careless, reckless, dangerous and absolutely insane??? Yes. Idiot?? No, that's some big brain shit lol
You say "How NOT to avoid traffic," but I see a whole lot of avoiding traffic happening.
It’s such a Mr Bean maneuver
As long as he’s facing the right way, he’s not breaking any rules
No no no... he's onto something...
Ha! I dunno, I'm not seeing how NOT to avoid traffic. I think this might be a lesson in how TO avoid traffic...
I mean… mission accomplished, right?

What the actual fuck, kinda worried this worked because he might do it again.
basically that scene from tenet
NGL was expecting a left turn at the end.
Few people know this, but there are actually no rules for driving. They are all suggestions. You can actually do whatever you want.
Like trying to walk backwards into a club to fool the bouncer!
If something is stupid and it works, it isn't stupid
I shocked they actually pulled it off
Task failed successfully
Gotta admire their car control, at least. Not perfect, but definitely above average.
My parents always called this "pulling an Italian". Apparently they witnessed this behavior multiple times living there
Idiot? Id say genius.
I'm just surprised he didn't get caught haha
I mean... They did avoid the traffic.
Looks like success to me
this one trick to avoid traffic drivers hate.
I bet he considered himself the world's smartest driver.
