The agents learned of the infraction (which is a crime) through a video posted on social networks
The reason behind the wheel takes us this time to Tenerife, where the Civil Guard has located and identified the driver who drove for more than a kilometer and a half in reverse.
This is not the worst of the sequence. In addition, he makes zig-zag maneuvers on different occasions; invades the lane in which vehicles are traveling in the opposite direction also several times; and even forces a driver to move off the road to avoid crashing.
Alert for a video posted on social networks
The agents of the Investigation and Analysis Group of the Traffic Sector (GIAT) of the Canary Islands learned of what happened through a video published by another driver on social networks.
They identified the road on which the sequence had been recorded as TF-61, in the Tenerife municipality of Güimar. This is a conventional road, with one lane for each direction of traffic and with specific speed limits that prevent driving at more than 50 km/h and 40 km/h in some sections.

In the video, which lasts almost two minutes, the driver of the Citroën Picasso drives for more than a kilometer in reverse. He zig-zags to rectify his position, but this leads him to repeatedly encroach into the opposing lane.
After forcing a vehicle to move aside and stop on the shoulder to avoid a collision, the car reaches a roundabout where, also reversing, it enters a service station.
