Muppet of the Day
Somebody got impatient with the traffic caused by endless road works in Bracknell and decided to try and do a U turn across the central reservation. It didn't end well Laughing

Even though it's the wrong car I would bet a pound to a penny that 90% of us on here could get that car over the central reservation................it's all about approach and reading the ground in front of you Rolling Eyes

wait until the road is clear, over the central reservation and back in again around the car, effectively overtaking...... Embarassed

I agree, I'd have done the exact same thing right next to him just to rub it in! Cheers, David
