I've now started a similar thread can you merge @B&B Pig Man ?

Which side of the road did he use?

So is this supposed to be difficult. With a pivot steer its as easy going backwards as forwards.

How can you prove this?

The observer effect.If an observer is present, saying,er, left hand down a bit, my space/time co-ordinates will be affected and something will get broken (again).

So if a Paddington backs into a tree in a forest does anyone hear him?

Would it not damage the gearbox? One of my friends once reversed his citroen saxo home from the pub one night, sober of course! Would be 3-4 miles and it wrecked gear box.

Most likely there was a fault in the gearbox to start with a gearbox should be able to run in all gears.

Tis true. Reverse on my own......amazing Someone starts doing random hand movements saying "lock it in" and it all goes to b*llocks

If you have a banksman you do need someone who has 100% concentration on getting you where you want to be. When the "your fine, keep coming" wave was really waving at passing neighbours, or they get bored with the time you're taking and start looking in someone's garden at their flowers, but still telling you bags of room until there is a load crunch you are often better off by yourself.

Why did he do that

 

[Chae1]

Why did he do that

Just to prove he could! He's a bit of a hero. Think he did it with his mirrors didn't look back. He drives a lorry in his spare time.

I would say as reverse is used less and would normally have less torque going through it the gears would be slightly smaller and the idler bearings prob smaller than if it was the equivalent forward gear
