What Happens if You Hit Reverse Gear when Driving Forward?

Every driver must have had the question: what would happen if hit reverse when driving forward? Many enthusiasts have tried this with Manual and Automatic gearboxes. The Manual gearbox will first act as a brake to slow the vehicle down and eventually it will move in the reverse direction. Lots of tyre smoke and noise are guaranteed.

Here's a video from a US guy doing the instant reverse gear on a modern AT car - Ford Fusion. The experiment took place on an free highway at the speed of 113 km/h. Buckle up!

Although the Reverse gear simply triggered the rear bumper back-up camera, we suggest you do not try doing the experiment on your own transport!
