What happens if you accidentally shift into reverse while driving at high speed?

Accidentally shifting into reverse while driving at high speed will result in hearing intense gear grinding noise near the reverse gear position, which may damage the gears or cause the car to stall. It's also possible that it's not actual gear grinding but rather the transmission's built-in protection mechanism. Precautions for normal driving: 1. Strengthen vehicle inspection, maintenance, and upkeep; 2. Obey traffic rules and drive safely; 3. Strictly prevent fatigued driving. For long-distance driving, the primary concern should be avoiding fatigued driving. Fatigued driving is one of the main causes of accidents. If there's a co-driver, it's best to switch every 2 hours. When feeling drowsy, you should pull over to rest briefly - never force yourself to continue driving. 4. Do not place perfume bottles or various glass/metal decorations on the dashboard in front of the front passenger seat. It's recommended to position them on the central dashboard area between driver and passenger for both aesthetic appeal and safety.
