No and no.
You can allways reverse the motor, and the 'normal' way to steer, is to have a
steering wheel that casters to the straight ahead, when driven forward, and
rotates to a fixed angle in one direction, when the vehicle goes backwards.
One of the models in the constructopedia is designed to do just this, and many
other similar designs exist. It is exactly the same mechanism, that is used on
the very simplest remote control cars.
