Woah. This is wierd. Okay so this dude, Gurgen Gukasyan, was caught driving in reverse on North Glendale Avenue for three miles. 'Why?' you may ask. Because he wanted to have fun. He was arrested on suspicion of reckless driving. The really funny thing is that he was completely sober. I guess it wasnt too bad, considering it was at 6 in the morning, but why?? I dont know, he probably didnt even think it was a big deal, and the more i think about it, the more i think it isnt that big of a deal either. The article said nothing about him driving on the wrong side of the road or was he going the wrong way on the street; he was just going backward. But still, I dont quite understand why he did it.
