Why is it so difficult to drive backward in a straight line?
In: Engineering
It has to do with the way your(everybody’s) front end is aligned. The turning axis is leaned rearward, and the two front tires are slightly angled in. This makes the vehicle easy to drive in a straight line forward. If your car has independent front suspension, and it’s worn, these angled parts get extra wonky when reversing.
