His skills are so famous, he has been issued with a special government licence to drive in reverse anywhere in the state.
Harpreet started driving backwards after his car developed a fault and only the reverse gear worked. He then decided to take his Fiat Padmini, paint “Back Gear Champian” on the side, and redesign the gear box to have four gears in reverse and one forward.
He can now drives at speeds of up to 50 mph - backwards - using an ambulance siren to warn anyone who might get in his way.
Driving backwards has its problems – Harpreet has begun suffering severe neck and back problems. He said, “I have got a severe backbone problem from driving so fast in reverse, because my whole body gets contorted.” But he insisted it was worthwhile.

Have you guys seen the video? It's not the driving contorted all day that would kill me, it's the FLIPPING ambulance siren turned on ALL THE TIME!

surely it would of cost him less or the same amount to fix it so it goes forward rather then reverse.

I imagine it would be a lot like this, but without the Prodigy playing in the background.

There's just too many great clips to link to! Do you think Harpreet Dev could maneuver through this beast of a rush hour?

If he's in control of the vehicle then I'm glad he's a celebrity. This guy on the other hand is just a moron...

Hey, I bet there are a bunch of people out there (trying to pass their UK driver's test) who WISH they could drive backwards around a corner like Harpreet can.
