i was having a weird convo .. like you do :p and wondered whether its legal to drive your car in reverse on a motorway going in the same direction as the traffic?? :dance: :dance: :smash: not that i was going to do this .. well not yet :tongue: :tongue:

Wouldnt ave thought it illegal but highly dangerous, all the steering would be reversed,the plod would prob do you for dangerous driving!

I think your tax disk must be facing forwards lol :tongue:

If that's all it is stick it in the rear window!! lol

It's totaly legal. If the police stop you, tell them: "Craig David on the internet said it was ok".

well, all your lights would be facing the wrong directions for starters.....

lol, yeah she's a beaut!

 

Barret light .50

I reversed an Audi coupe auto 4 miles once cos the gearbox was fooked! :rofl:

 

The worst part about it was a sore neck for the next few days LMAO!!

lol chunk.

 

didnt some bloke make the news in Oz doing this on the freeway? sure it was for 8 or 10 km he did it for b4 he was stopped. reverse was the only gear he could find.He was done for no license or insurance etc.

I believe there is an actual offence called "excessive reversing" a copper can do you for this for reversing too far along a road when it would it is possible to perform a U turn and drive in the right direction.

 

As for on motorways, it is illeagal full stop to reverse on a motorway, whether going with or against traffic flown the hard shoulder or not.

 

Having said that i reversed a 1.3 astra from nuneaton to hinckley as the aa told me i had a fooked gearbox as the car wouldnt go forward, imagine how daft i looked when the gatage told me it was due do one of the front calliper bolts falling out and locking the calliper on the wheel when going forwards!

Oh and technically a motorwat is a one way road, which it is also illeagal to reverse on.

What barks said!
