!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Car misses exit, proceeds to drive backwards on the Gardiner Expressway. Absolutely lunacy. While the cyclists and drivers are crap in Saskatoon, Toronto is a whole ‘nother ball game.

You can throw this under that heading too.

Not the new logo. It doesn’t belong there.

It seems to me if you are going to pull a dumb ass move like this you do it as fast as possible, you don’t take your damn time.

That’s a whole ‘nother level of batshit crazy.

If I had plenty of time to spare, I’d stop a distance behind them and hold down the horn.

In the time it took them to do that, they could have driven the 1/4 mile to the next exit and turned around.

You are assuming that they are thinking rationally.

Some people have absolutely no idea how to drive backwards.

Once they finished backing up, what took them so long to get off the exit?!?! OMG PEOPLE ARE FUCKING STUPID!!!!

I mean, the fact that they thought backing up on the highway was a good idea in the first place should be a good indicator.

Being stationary vs traveling 10-20 mph backwards doesn’t make a huge difference when you are rear ended by someone doing 70+. If you are going to be stupid you might as well be fast stupid.

Phoenix just started to install wrong way driver sensors on a few of our freeways. They caught two people the first Sunday morning they were operation. One guy was found by Highway Patrol just sitting on the shoulder facing the opposite direction.

I’ve been yelled at for driving backwards too fast. IT WAS STILL UNDER REDLINE.

Well besides that, since that is never a good idea even on the shoulder, but if you are going to do something so utterly stupid, at least do it quickly.

That was considered a good idea in 1970 .

Also, a picture of the driver was found showing shock when shown that they really were doing it backwards
