    Looks like another U-turn blunder?

    OOOOPPPSSS ??

    No Names as I don't personally know the lady who posted it on facebook.
    But it popped up in a group I'm in.

    Script that went with it as posted? I didn't do the speech bubble it is as posted.

    As another motorist does 1km over the speed limit another dangerous road user who happens to be a police men decides to do a uturn right Infont of a poor innocent party tsk tsk ! Safety first officer safety first . Lucky everybody was ok

    He was stationary then saw some bikes go up the hill and must have got excited and pulled a uturn right in front of a car coming down the hill. Whooooops

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    Who says you can't do a u-turn across a double yellow line?

    One photo makes it look like a passing lane where double yellows are more and more common these days and they have nothing to do with poor visibility. I blame the low-viz colour of the orange car.

    Looks like Albany hill to me.
    Reality is only an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol in the blood.

    It is the Albany hill and right there would be a hell dangerous place to pull a u-turn to chase someone going up the hill. Blind corner coming downhill.

    You're forgetting that the Police are much better drivers as they do courses and shit so as to be able to lecture you when you're pulled over

    They really should ban doing a Uturn to catch speeders - wasn't it only a couple of years ago when a cop did a UTurn on a blind corner on a hill and killed a couple of motorcyclists?
