What’s wrong?
- Crosses across all lanes to make turn (at least he signalled!)
- Because driver left it late (s)he didn’t see the straight ahead only sign on the lights
- Goes through Amber light rather than stopping
- Ends up turning into traffic joining the road
Impressive amount of wrongness!
What could he have done differently?
Leaving it until very close to the junction to try and get over to the right to turn means he didn’t have time to see the straight over (no right turn) sign on the lights. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that he didn’t see it rather than chosing to ignore it.
He could have moved over while traffic was flowing which would have given him proper visibility of signage. If he knows the area, we would know there is a roundabout less than half a mile down the road which would perhaps have been a better place to turn around!
So in short, don’t panic, don’t be impatient. Seems most mistakes I see are due to being in a hurry / panic.
