I don't either. Could be you are forgetting the rule that says (and I am paraphrasing here) "If something is not shown as permitted to do, ask first..."
And staging the car backwards is certainly not shown as a "permitted action." Not anywhere I have seen.
I think the answer would be a hard NO.
In the grocery store, turn the cart around (make sure nobody is nearby), now attempt to push it fast and attempt to steer it easily with the caster wheels nearest you and the locked wheels away. Driving a car with rear wheel only steering...Oh boy. Almost as crazy as driving fast on only 2 wheels. Lol.
But, it is Cool! (And experienced Class Racers who can, are the very best at it too). Then there are the other ones who get 3 wheels in the air, and that always ends badly.
