English term or phrase: to blindarse
Roman australien, narrateur à la 1e personne (il s'agit de la même vieille dame que dans ma précédente question, il y a quelques semaines - elle se révèle de plus en plus olé olé ;-)

Outside, a construction truck beeps into the neighbour’s, ***blindarsing*** into a park.

Je crois que je comprends bien le sens (reculer), mais je ne trouve cette expression nulle part, et le registre m'étonne.
Un éclairage anglophone serait bienvenu (et des suggestions en français également)

Merci d'avance, et bonne année à tous !

Asker: Merci FX ! Vous ne rendez pas la vulgarité de l'expression, c'est volontaire ? Je pensais à quelque chose "reculer son gros cul"...


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Tony M: Well, the fact that it is beeping certainly suggests it is reversing. Probably means "without even looking" rather than "unable to see"

agree  Bernard Lieber: I agree but this expression is funny in Australian English but is not in French but can't do any better right now should be something like en reculant son gros cul à l'aveuglette
