    Citizens on site should have handed out some swift justice, right there, on the spot. Anybody that stupid doesn't need to be taking up space on earth. Unfortunately it has become very common. There ought to be a way for their numbers to be immediately revoked on the spot just because of the complete irresponsibility of the accident.

    This right here is the ONLY way to handle the need to make a U turn.

    You know it’s the GPS fault. That make a u turn ####. Countless manufacturers have been sued to add warning labels on #### that should be self explanatory. When I worked for John Deere regardless of tractor age we had to make sure every piece of equipment we serviced had a cover on the solenoid to prevent crossing it over to get it to start to prevent starting in gear. So where are the lawsuits here?



    I’m being facetious in a way I also would like to add I still don’t use a GPS

    Oh he is in deep doodoo. It’s not the fact that he did a Uturn but the one he did was illegal. Those cross over spots are for emergency vehicles/ official vehicles only. They gonna bury him deep.

    I also suspect he saw the vehicle and was just impatient. I get these little fluffers all the time in truck stops they see you about to walk past them and they floor it.

    Had one cut right in front of me to set up for a back. I walked right across hi deck and yanked his red line and kept on walking..

    Anyway, screenshot is where it happened. It’s way too big and inviting I have to say.
