Inattention yes. Reversing without using those 3 reflecty things called mirrors or even the basic of sticking my head out the window and looking to see what I'm reversing into no.
If the driver really did just miss his driveway and was reversing up to have another crack he really did display a very special level of incompetence and maybe he should be on a bicycle because he certainly doesn't possess the skills to handle a 2 tonne machine.
