U-turns on narrow lane - legal?

If you bawled at me for performing a legal U turn, you'd certainly get a piece of my mind.

You're not the police, stop pretending you are.

Mikey's point is a pedantic one, but unfortunately he is correct.

Twice the width of an Evo is 3.5 metres, the length of an Evo is 4 metres, therefore it is impossible to do the kind of turn you describe.

Now if you claimed to be able to do that kind of turn in a typical urban street with one lane in each direction, and a width of 5 metres that would be physically possible.

The move you show is certainly impressive, and I'd love to be able to do that at the on-street parking I use in Newport, but he has plenty of room to play about with to set that up.

I've seen that done with a mini.

Same guy

I do have a rwd car I can swop in it's own length, but it does need it's own length.

Drive at 30mph or so, into second, floor it and wait for the supercharger to push it in a straight line, full lock, lift off, and it swaps ends. Power back on and you're going the other way.
(I used to reverse park in that way)
