Related: About this forumMan cited for jogging backwards
A south Florida man has been jogging backwards for years to stay healthy. But now his exercise regime has him running into some trouble with the law.
A recent run resulted in a call to 911.
"He's like, running backwards in the middle of the street and zig-zagging through all the lanes. I just want you to pick him up before he gets himself killed."
The result? A $77.50 citation for obstructing traffic.

OP
I think jogging in traffic would get you cited regardless of your physical orientation.

That's a pretty cheap fine.

Maybe they have nothing to live for, or know one of the many fine lawyers who have giant billboards to tout their services. But then again, maybe it's all part of a state-wide effort by many to keep auto insurance rates the highest in the country.
