    I did a upturn "once" in California:eek: (missed my turn,duh) early am on 101. Nobody around. Used all the pavement. Truck was 90ft long. Glue-lams. Got her straight and grabbing gears. Looked in the mirror and there he was.....explained the situation and he let me go. That was 1982....don't make U turns even if you can. :D

    That was my first thought....if he attempted the U turn from the farthest right lane, he could have made it.....but that road is too busy to attempt a U turn
     
    MartinFromBC Thanks this.

    As opposed to taking a right, taking a right, and taking a left.
    I've said it before, some of these guys don't have 2 years of experience driving a car.
    You get what you get.
