    He missed the turn for the Westbound 60? Maybe he wanted to stop at the fruit & vegetable stand on the South side of the 60.

    This isn't a just wow. This is more of a Direct Wow.


    I filled out an app for a food service job on the net when I woke up last night, and someone named Michael just called and woke me up again from Swift.

    Should I go to Swift? Is that my destiny? They have nothing local though lol, I asked since he called.

    Yup so many drivers with pure talent! I guess their trainers never taught them that if you miss a turn, you may have to go twenty miles to get turned around,

    This should be an Automatic Disqualification of all driving licenses.

    That's ALMOST as bad as the truck I caught on my dash cam BACKING UP in the left lane of a 70 mph "interstate grade" US highway...recently opened section of road, not on any GPS yet...just past one of those "authorized vehicles only" u-turn spots. Apparently, a gps can authorize you to use them. When it says "turn around now", it means NOW!!!

    Hopefully CHP cited him for his stupidity. For those who frequent California and drive the wrong way on a freeway, or use the center median on a freeway, both are misdemeanors, not infractions. This guy has no business behind the wheel.

    To be frank and open, I hope drugs were involved in this circumstance, because otherwise we're dealing with supreme stupidity and/or a defective brain that should never have earned a CDL or a trucking job in either case.

    Gotta do what you gotta do. Directions from these Megan's are terrible. I don't fault the driver I am a witness a victim of moronic directions leading to uturns. If there's no sign posted and can be done without incident/just stopping traffic, go ahead instead of quitting. I've busted my fair share all unrventful. OTR HAS IT THE HARDEST.

    I think some of you need to look closer at the picture. This is an attempt to turn around and go counter to traffic direction

    Or. Could be I'm missing an attempt at humor.
