Why do drivers insist on making a missed turn - even when it's impossible to do so?

[unicornfloof]

To all the drivers out there, please help me to understand why some drivers act like this:

I really don't get it, isn't it better to have just missed that turn and then turn back later on? Sure, you could say that this driver might have been in a rush or that he could have had something urgent to attend to. But I don't think having to make a missed turn is worth having your car getting hit by other vehicles. 😥😓 And worse, this driver might not be able to claim anything from insurance due to his reckless insistence! Thoughts?

Who says its impossible?

Just jam brake

and reverse lah!

SG so big.

Miss a turn have to go next exit

and its at least 2 full minutes away.

Time is money

Just reverse lah.

The mind is programmed to be 1 dimensional..

[Jamesc]

When you see a car jam brake on highway to reverse back to the exit

please also jam brake and give way to the car reversing.

Please be gracious.

[Jamesc]

1 dimensional - oh yeah I forgot about that.

People miss turn

Not if you are a dump truck. If it’s a sedan, make it a hatchback. If it’s a hatch make it a 2seater. If it a 2 seater, make it a Zero seater!

Talking about dump trucks I was in middle lane

because I die die don't need to drive right lane

and a dump truck cut my lane to overtake a slower truck.

I jam on the brakes and I did a number 2 on the seat.

The truck after overtaking went back to left lane

and he hand signaled sorry to me so I just let it go.

Lucky it wasn't my own car but a used car.

Anyway don't need to check for a brown patch on the seat

if you shopping for a used car

as I sold that car already a long time ago.

Cos in life if you missed a turn you are not able to turn back time. Here on the road if you miss a turn you can even reverse, hit a TP bike and make a run for it.

So simple cos most of the time, it's not even their car.

Most of them are PHV, taxi, rental car, company van, lorry.

Some drivers were taking their chances and trying their luck, hoping they could get lucky to make a missed or late turn intact. :/

There a saying: One inch of time is like one inch of gold bar; but an inch of gold bar cannot buy back an inch of time. Something like that...

No amount of money in the world has ever bought a second of time.
