If you stop/start very rapidly using the space bar, you can see that the back wheels actually go in reverse for a half revolution while the car is on opposite lock.


The back wheels rotating forward then reverse then forward is most likely a kind of an optical illusion. If you watch old westerns, watch the wagon wheels as they accelerate, the wheels look to be going forward then stop and then look to rotate backwards. It is similar to a strobe effect with the timing of the shutter speed of the camera to a rotating object. At least that's what Mr. Wizard says...
