Australian Man Tries to Drive 300 Miles In Reverse
Posted: Oct 7 2006, 09:24 AM
I'm sure this guy was just inspired by the strategic feat of brilliance engineered by the NASA Mars Rover team when they resorted to driving one of the rovers backwards after one of its front wheels went gimp on them.
He only made it 12 miles of the 300 miles to his destination before police stopped him doing 40 mph on a remote highway. Even if he got there safely, I just can't imagine the magnitude of head, neck, and back pain the guy would have ended up with. I think they make people pretend to drive backwards for only 100 miles at CIA secret prisons.
