There are a number of possibilities depending on make and model. An unusual one I have seen happens mostly when there is less than full tank of gas. The fuel pickup tube is cracked and the sloshing of fuel can cause the sucking of air into the line.This same sloshing of fuel can happen shifting from reverse to forward. sometimes this will happen only when turning right but not when you turn left or vica versa.If left un fixed long enough the tube may eventally suck air most of the time preventing the car from running at all-Backyard Mechanic
If you're driving forward, you aren't backing out the car.
Check transmission fluid level Change transmission fluid and filter (if it has one)
The driver travelling in reverse is almost always responsible. In this case, he would have had a duty to ensure the road was clear before backing out of the driveway.
The person driving on the straightaway/ roadway. Backing out of a driveway or parking spot is the same as a stop sign. The right of way belongs to the person on the road.
Yes, driving backwards is generally illegal on public roads except in specific situations such as parallel parking or backing out of a driveway. It is important to always follow traffic laws and drive safely.
# When you're behind a slow moving vehicle # When someone is backing out of a driveway and possibly doesn't see you # When going to pick up a friend and they are not outside waiting for you # When driving through a tunnel
Driving in reverse is not illegal in itself, but it is generally only allowed when necessary for safety reasons, such as backing out of a parking space or driveway. It is important to follow traffic laws and use caution when driving in reverse to avoid accidents.

Check with the local police but I've had it where people backing a car out of a shop into a private parking lot get hit by someone driving through (too fast even) and the person who is in reverse is always at fault. Might be different in some areas but in my area this is how it goes.
Being in reverse
The person driving through. If you're backing out then you do not have the right of way.
the person backing out of the driveway of course. Any vehicle already on a roadway has right of way over one entering it in the absence of a traffic signal.Generally, the person backing out of the driveway must yield to ALL traffic but every place has it's own laws so I'd check with your local police to be sure.
