The trick is to ALWAYS look in reverse, never change back to looking

No matter how you cut it, driving backwards is ultimately unstable.
Rear wheel steering just is not good. Like trying to land a 'tail
dragger' airplane, all is well until you're below 'flying' speed and
then watch out.

I knew a guy that would come out of his house, start his motorcycle, lift his
feet, and coast backwards down an 8 foot hill on his 50 foot driveway, around
the corner at the bottom, stop, then release his clutch and head on his way
without ever putting his feet on the ground.
