I had this happen once and asked my wife if i was seeing things. Nope car infront was driving with the reverse lights on. Arguably the laughable part was this happened only when the brakes were depressed because. I gues someone didnt read the wiring diagram
@@7249xxl this happens when someone changes a multi-circuit multi-element bulb in a rear light cluster and doesn’t do it properly. Other lights get set off under instruction.
@@DerbJd thanks for the explanation! Gues you can learn something everyday. I've seen similar issues quiet often usually in older cars always catches me of guard
@@7249xxl Those sound like made up words lol. rear light cluster? each rear light bulb has it a specific purpose... reverse, license plate lights, turn signals and or tail lights/brake lights depending on configuration of the car.. Never seen a "light cluster" with a bulb doing all manner of things including brakes and reverse lights.
@@robertsims3759 well yeah, using business class sedan is not a best choice to move furniture. glad she's not trying to deliver fridges in that poor Camry 😂
I’m realizing I’ve never before in the history of infotainment seen a cracked screen. And I could only imagine that just happens when someone is mad lol
She did not, I work at a car rental and I mainly drive the cars most of our base model cars can do the same thing, such as Nissan, Toyota, hundi, and chevy, but our premiums can't, and that would be the bmw, Mercedes, chevy suburban, range rover.
@@bizzarebanana3041 Absolutely wrong lmao. I just dont tollerate idiocy. And I'm surprised somebody as immature as you is on youtube, that's normally the sort of behaviour for tiktok.
@@SYNNico yeah, you really have to force it for a manual transmission, as for an automatic if the car actually let it go into gear i imagine the reverse gear would strip off, or if its anything like the park gear it would click a bunch and then lock into gear once below a certain speed (like 5 mph or less)
It looks like newer cars have it but nothing out there to verify, I guess you could check with the dealership but I was anxious to test it out on my own, it was pretty nerving lol
Future video ideas: 1) What happens if you try to cross a river without using a bridge. 2) If I drive into my living room will I fall into the basement.
In modern cars the computer has to do the changes, the thing you are moving is the selector that gives the command to the transmission module. If the transmission module determines that the change can damage or end the transmission. It puts the transmision in neutral and waits until the parameters considered safe are reached to do the change. If the car was in Limp mode, you are likely to explode your transmission
What effect would limp mode have on the transmission? In my car the limp mode limits the speed to about 25-30 miles an hour. I don't really know how the transmission would be left behind if the car computer is still in the car.
@@Ovahlls In limp mode the car is forced to believe many of the sensor readings are untrustworthy. So it may make this decision to go into reverse without regard to the vehicle speed sensors.
I throw my car into reverse just to fuck with people, I don't use the brake peddle to brake check people I use the e brake so the lights don't turn on, I pay taxes for the whole road so I use the whole road, I duct taped my lights together becouse I could, I put dents in my car and call them memorys. Fuck warning labels, know what your doing and there unless anyways.
Legend says nothing would happen if a hammer was used to smack the interior screen. So she tried it out. I'm hoping the footage exist somewhere out there.
Can't speak on that first part since I haven't dusted my car in a good 6 months or so (although it's hardly noticeable), but never once have I seen a broken infotainment center before 😂 Are there any possible explanations behind someone getting pissed and punching it?
Mechanic here. The car's computer can tell you're still going forward and clearly at a significant speed, so it simply will not engage reverse (until you're nearly stopped). On older cars, once reverse engages the rear wheels usually lock up if the engine doesn't stall since you're suddenly putting a massive load on the wheels in a different direction.
My 96 grand Cherokee and 97 explore you can do this in and driving to school my cousin did it in his 87 Crown Vic With no problems. However his crown Vic did allow it to go into first gear at 60 there’s no gauge for RPMs in that year but it was definitely redlined considering how it sounded like a no pipe monster truck
They used to have these crazy inventions called REAR VIEW MIRRORS but I can see how much more convenient it is just to throw that sucker into reverse at almost 60 mph instead. 🤔
I actually had someone slam on their brakes today in my 2018 camry and nothing happened just a red screen telling me to brake but it didn't stop for me on it's own 🤔
I hope she does and better yet . I hope she tests the accessory mode on her key ignition to see if her car will still drive or stop while on a mid busy traffic at 60mph
I did this to a 1956 Buick Roadmaster while on the way to an automotive junk yard back in 1973. When I engaged reverse, the rear tires locked up and the car went into a skid, bouncing all over the road. An Ontario Provential Police car just at that very moment rounded the curve in the road, coming towards me. He turned around, and stopped me. I was just a short distance from Art's Auto wreckers and explained that probably a shock had gone and I was on my way to Arts. He let me go. By the way, the transmittion was not affected, Drive, Reverse, Park etc all worked as normal afterwards...'I checked'!
Like a lot of people, I also had a feeling nothing would happen. Once I accidentally put my mom's 2001 Silverado (which had late 90's technology) into reverse on the highway, I meant to go into Neutral, but pushed too hard and went past it. Nothing happened there either aside from the gear indicator showing R. I quickly went back into drive. Both vehicles are well engineered (for their time). My 27 year old self is just as impressed with the Camry's safety features as my 6 year old self with the Silverado's automatic headlights. Still one small feature I never saw again was the turn signal reminder that triggered a chime if they were still on for more than a mile.
Yep, 06 Sierra here (GMC Silverado) I actually forgot about the turn signal reminder, and it is a nice feature. After about 30 seconds, it beeps and says "turn signal on" on the dash indicator. I just figured most vehicles had it now.
Wow. The whole time she was talking about putting her car in reverse, I was on the verge of getting an anxiety attack. I caught myself saying "don't do it. Don't do it"
I’d never be able to do this intentionally. Though there was one time my friend and I were in her 08 Toyota, and she accidentally bumped the transmission into reverse on the highway. I was wondering why it felt like it suddenly had no power, then I looked over and had a heart attack lol
Lol that's nothing though it happened two times to me once I forgot my old car is 5 mt so i put it into reverse lol 😂😂 2nd time once I told my friend who is psycho I told him that once 'going on highway the next car due to an animal suprising showing up my father put the car into 2nd gear from 5th at 100 while breaking heavily ' So when he heard he was like what happens if we put it in reverse we were literally at 130 on expressway he without any notice told me what happened if we put it in reverse and proceeds to do that and I couldn't even say idk My balls were in mouth i know for certain we were without belts too 😂 Well nothing happened car screamed like hell and skit then he instantly put it back into 4/ 5 as the case may be
You need a manual transmission to actually get it to go into reverse while driving. It will take an extraordinary amount of effort to get it to go in though.
@@fool4563 I accidentally shifted from 5 gear to Reverse Gear. I had a gaming setup with 6 gears, my car only has 5 gears (manual transmission). So I accidentally shifted from 5 to reverse thinking of the 6 gear I had on my gaming setup. Well... I had the clutch pressed down and the transmission made a horrible noise... And then I knew I f*cked up. But it doesn't seem to have killed the transmission car still drives fine I guess. PS: I had the clutched pressed the whole time. There is normally a mechanism which doesn't let you shift from 5th to reverse but I simply went into neutral and then reverse
@@tatescholarmorpheus you obviously didn't read what he said, he did it irl, the reason he did it irl is because his gaming setup has 6 gears but his actual car only has 5
It's called idiot proofing. It won't engage reverse if the computer detects forward motion. If this safeguard wasn't built in, you would have destroyed your transmission. The transmission hydraulic pump would overpressurize the valve body, and blow out the seals. You could also strip the gears, split the transmission case, snap axle shafts, destroy c.v. joints, and if you were going fast enough, force the engine to rotate backwards which also would be very bad.
this is a really good example of wanting to show how much you know about a topic even though its not really what anybody needed or asked for. don't be like mike, kids.
@@nickblack7910 Well, what I said probably won't happen in all cases but it is a possibility. I personally saw it happen years ago to an 85 chevy cavalier with the quad 4 engine. The car was put into reverse at 70 mph according to the owner. The transaxle case was split down one side with fluid running out everywhere. When the trans was dissasembled, the planetary gears were stripped, broken input shaft, burnt out clutch packs, cracked valvebody, blown seals, blown axle seals, snapped left halfshaft, and wasted both inner cv joints. The only thing I take away from this video is the owner is trashing her car. Shifting into reverse while driving in a modern car may not cause mechanical damage, but it will cause financial damage. It will trip the check engine light and throw a code. When it goes to the dealer, they will see the car was being abused and will happily void the warranty. Not to mention, the car will now will have 0 trade in value. So yeah, what this video portrays is really foolish and not cool....
Very good. I was riding with my dad in his 96 dodge Ram when I was a kid and accidentally bumped the shifting column with my knee and it went into reverse. We were going about 50 down a steep hill in the mountains. It basically sent the truck to neutral and we couldn’t put it back into drive until he stopped and restarted the truck. Still glad it didn’t do anything bad, but it scared us both because neither of us knew if it had a safety feature like that or if I broke the trans.
The backup camera function is controlled by a switch that is activated once the lever is put in the reverse position like your backup lamps. You could bypass the switch with an added switch on the dash to turn it on with out messing with the transmission lever.
How don’t people know this. Most cars with back up cams have those buttons. SMH. Common sense people. I blame the education system. People are just becoming less intelligent these days. I’m even a victim. SMH.
The alternative to this is usually that the transmission won't budge at all. Most cars require you to at least be stepping on the brake. In the event that you can actually put your car in reverse while in gear, it's pretty much what you'd expect. You'll tear your transmission to shreds, and at the very least will lose your reverse gear if not the entire transmission. Pretty sure with these the computer tracks RPM and brake usage. When you are driving and set it into reverse, I imagine when you step on the brake it will switch gears once the RPM reaches an acceptable level to make it safe to do so. Not good practice regardless.
Nope but close most cars requires the mph to be lower than 5mph for it to be put in reverse, I know this because I do it all the time when parking rentals
Lol only required brake application is from park after that you can shift any gear u want and if you know what to do it will engage reverse while moving forward I don't advise it though cause we'll let's just say transmission fluid is red and another of shrapnel in a red blob on the ground raises a lot of questions that are not easy to explain
In manual either it locks you out or you grind the gears In case that you manage to push it in and not grind the whole gear, you can make the engine spin in reverse Probably won't fire up again after that.
@Kostka_Bruhowa just have to be fast and shove it in I drove one if the farm trucks for a year without any brakes and the only way to stop was push the clutch and slam it into reverse and give it a lot of gas the clutch was dead at the end if the year but it was a pretty kych dead truck to start with I was just using it till it died
When I was younger a family friend who's a mechanic said that it's better to buy a taxi than a car that was owned by a woman. I didn't understand it back then.
It's wonderful to think that while im trying my best to get my family home safe, there are people making RU-vid videos "wondering what happens when they throw their car in reverse going 64 mph". What an absolute waste of skin.
Thanks for your comment, but please don’t assume I was alone in the car holding my phone and that I wasn’t sure of the outcome, this was a video made to show reverse lock out which is a known feature on newer cars and also known that absolutely nothing happens.
