What Should I Do If the Car in Front Reverses on the Ramp?

First, if the car in front is reversing, stop your car and honk to alert the vehicle ahead. Next, check both sides and the rear to find a way to go around. If there's no chance to go around and the car in front continues to reverse, turn off your engine, observe your surroundings, get out of the car, climb over the railing to escape outside the road, and call the police.

Having driven for over a decade, I've seen plenty of these sudden reverse situations. You need to immediately prepare both feet - left foot lightly on the brake, right foot ready to stomp hard if needed. Keep your eyes locked on the car in front while quickly hitting the horn with your fingers to alert them. Grip the steering wheel firmly but don't swerve, as there might be vehicles behind you. I always turn on the hazard lights to signal following cars while monitoring the rearview mirror. If safe, change lanes immediately; otherwise come to a complete stop until they finish reversing. These reckless drivers rushing to their doom are the worst - I've encountered three such incidents myself, each time slowing down and waiting until they finished their dangerous maneuver.

There are quite a few reckless drivers on the road these days, and reversing on ramps is particularly dangerous. When I encountered this situation, I decisively reduced my speed to maintain a safe distance, while continuously honking and flashing my lights to alert the car in front. If the car behind was far enough, I would change lanes; if it was following closely, I would turn on the hazard lights and slowly come to a stop. The key is to control your emotions and avoid road rage—keeping calm and ensuring safety is paramount. Last time, my colleague faced a similar situation and almost collided, ending up at the traffic police station and wasting half a day for nothing.

This situation calls for quick reactions. Immediately honk to alert the front vehicle to slow down and prepare to stop, while checking the rearview mirror to confirm a safe distance. If there's space behind, change lanes; if not, stop directly and turn on the hazard lights. Never reverse or accelerate through—that's gambling with your life. Wait until the front vehicle completes its maneuver before proceeding, and note down the license plate to report it. On highways, safety always comes first.
