Reverse Driver: Indian Man Drives Car Backwards On Busy Highways

Ridiculous Rides

A NORMAL Fiat has been modified to allow the driver to travel BACKWARDS. The unusual transformation by Harpeet Devin is an eye-catching alteration on the roads of Bhatinda, India. The vehicle has four gears to drive in reverse and just one to go forwards. He has even fitted an ambulance siren to alert other drivers and pedestrians and added headlights to the rear of his car.

00:00Arpete Devi has found a unique way of making his driving stand out. He travels everywhere

00:09in reverse.

00:10I wanted to do it and that's why I thought I had something new to do. Then I saw something

00:21new to the world. That's why I wanted to do it.

00:28Arpete's unusual style behind the wheel has been a regular sight on the roads of Bhatinda

00:33in the Indian state of Punjab since 2003. He's modified his car, a Fiat Padmini, so that

00:40it now has four gears for reverse and only one going forwards, allowing him to drive backwards

00:46at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour. However, the reason he started driving in reverse in

00:51the first place was out of necessity rather than choice.

00:55After years of reversing, he now feels he's a safer driver going back to the road to the

01:02road.

01:03After years of reversing, he now feels he's a safer driver going back to the road.

01:10than he is going forwards and has been granted special permission by the state government

01:31to allow him to continue with his unusual style. To ensure safety, he's fitted an ambulance

01:38siren to alert other drivers and pedestrians to the fact that he's reversing.

01:45Crucially, he's also added headlights to the rear of his car.

01:49And while driving like this has brought him fame, it's also had an adverse effect on his

01:54health as he now suffers from back and neck problems.

02:01And he's been able to get a little bit faster and they've been handling it, and the other

02:04time was around the road to pass the road long.

02:06The best of course would be that force from the road to the road to the road to the road

02:10that were potentially traveling in on the road to the road.

02:11And that's it.

02:12It was also here in the mountains that was a lot of the most valuable help that we are

02:16than two people in 2021.

02:17And I think that was quite an ambulance of the road to the road.

02:20And I thought it was really the best of the road.
