reverse gear
Go back mechanism
Reverse gear is the transmission setting that makes a vehicle move backward.
Most drivers shift into reverse only when parking or maneuvering in tight spaces.
Figuratively, to go into reverse gear or shift into reverse means to backtrack or reverse course on a position or decision.
