    The world is full of people who give a different perspective to things. They do it well and impress the others with their talent. One such talent is Harpeet Devi, who likes to drive his car in reverse and has been doing so since 2003.

    Yes, he needed permissions and the State Government granted him those. Since then he hasn't looked back, no wait; he has. He explains that all started when his car got stuck in reverse and he had to drive it backwards to the nearest repair shop.

    With time he gained confidence and now says he feels he is safer driver going backwards than he is going forwards. He's even managed to change the gearbox setup in the Fiat and he has 4 gears to change into reverse and one to go forward. He's even managed to fit headlights at the rear and there's also an ambulance siren to alert other drivers that he is reversing.

    Of course, there are some problems as he's been facing back problems from looking behind but other than that Harpeet says, it is the safest way to travel.
