Line 8:
In comedies, or a comedic moment anyway, a new driver will pull forward, only it's in reverse. Conversely, they may put the car in gear as if it's in reverse, look behind themselves, and then drive forward.
 
Often a [[Sub-Trope]] of [[Driving Stick]]. Compare [[Backwards-Firing Gun]]. See [[Wiper Start]] for more comedic driver incompetence. Frequently seen as part of the misadventures of [[Women Drivers]].
