Thank you very much and God bless you.

This is another illegal uturn in Florida today. Picture shows whole highway blocked by truck carrying cars attempting uturn. Apparently no one was hurt in this "accident".

Was it an illegal u-turn by an illegal?

Do these guys not know how to go to the next exit and loop around? This is just nuts.

I’ve seen this on Arizona freeways. Stalled and trying to maneuver the doggone thing. Everyone else waiting...waiting. Stupid.

There was a story sometime back here of a truck with a high load that tried to go through a “Texas Turnaround,” and the load hit the bridge.

Car haulers have unusually low ground clearance.

This is US Highway one, not the turnpike or I-95. In that area it’s basically two lanes in each direction with turning lanes in the medians.

Dumass driver should have gone to the next light or turned around in a grocery store parking lot but apparently decided to shave off some time (or something)

I think Singh means “truck driver” in India, like “Patel” means “innkeeper.”
