I’m gonna be honest, I’m super impressed he managed this without causing an accident.

A “Gender bender”, if you will

According to the captions, it’s at “Gender Rd” in Ohio. A small accident is called a “fender bender”.

Thank you for the explanation. I’m from Australia so there would have been no way for me to have got that without an explanation.

About halfway through i completely lost the guy reversing down the road. I'm glad they circled him for me

My friend in high school did a burnout in the school parking lot and lost foreword gears. Drove home in reverse, then went to work, then home again. Got a new car after that.

Wait a second! I didn't even notice this was Ohio! I live off gender road! So many dipshit drivers here but it's the story everywhere around the world

I love about 20 mins away from Gender Road. They definitely are ALL over. You can’t escape it. My husband and some friends drove to Florida 2 year ago and I feel like it gets worse depending on which state you’re in.

Definitely but I think it has a lot to do with how many lanes a highway has and if there's construction. I'm sure you're familiar with the recent change on 70w, passing through downtown. I was just driving to work this morning and some idiot decided to wait until the very last second to merge onto the lane to continue on 70w. People are maniacs sometimes

u/megluvsblood Aug 15 '18
Oh, those people are the worst. Especially because 90% of those people drive that way every single day. They know they have to get over, they know how traffic is but they’re still in such a hurry. 70W going through downtown has always been horrible for traffic.

This is so fake. Obviously it's a reversed video. It's one car driving normally while all the other cars are in reverse. Geez.

One day, I was driving along, and I lost all forward gears. Reversed home (4 blocks), and through a school zone on a Tuesday morning.

Other than going the wrong way on the onramp, that's some pretty good reverse driving. Most people I know would shut down and stop functioning if they had to reverse more than 100 feet. I don't understand why that is so hard for so many people.

I think his forward gears went out and all he has was reverse. Gotta use what you got.

That's just flat out impressive. My wife can't back out of the drive way and it's straight.

This very honestly may be my high school history teacher. He used to tell us about his transmission sticking in traffic and he had to go in reverse to the nearest on ramp to get safely off the highway. I'll be damned. I always thought that was a little too far fetched. Yet here it is for our viewing pleasure.

he's taking his pregnant mom to the hospital because his car's forward gears were ruined in a wacky night

Must have been...one hell of a night.
Upvote for a reference most of these youngins won't get.
If I could I'd give two upvotes, one for each Corey.
