http://news.nationalpost.com/news/ca...-move-sideways
A Canadian man has invented a wheel that can make cars move sideways. Not much tread on those tyres though; I was thinking my car would go sideways too with tread like that (most likely despite my intentions).f

Makes you wonder why no auto manufacturer has ever made a vehicle which allows all four wheels to turn a complete 90 degrees allowing it to move sideways?

Just think what he could have achieved if he put his money, brains, and effort into something with an actual application...
Its a brilliant, innovative, original idea. Completely and utterly pointless, but still brilliant. |

Until govco realises how dangerous it is and either bans it before it even makes it onto our shores, or taxes the living shikaka out of it.

Wouldnt fly here. Pretty sure making your car go sideways is a hoon offence. Would get crushed the first day of owning it in WA.
Very cool concept though!! Would have its place for sure.
