Driving Bacwards in Australia

mrnickleye · 10-08-2006, 06:43 PM

SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian has been charged with reckless driving after trying to reverse 310 miles across the outback, local media reported on Friday.

Police in Western Australia state were shocked when they saw a 23-year-old man driving in reverse along The Great Eastern Highway at 30 miles per hour on Thursday, said Australian radio.

When police pulled the driver over he said his transmission had failed so he had no choice but to drive in reverse from the gold mining town of Kalgoorlie to Perth on the coast.

The driver told police he had reached speeds of 50 miles per hour but had to slow down because he was swerving too much.

The man was charged with reckless driving and is due to appear in court on Monday, said Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio.
