What's not pictured is the station wagon that I hit/hit me. The map had me turning right at that intersection you see in the background, then doing a u-turn, then going in the direction I'm pointing.
F that, I thought. I'd done it before where some construction routed traffic off the freeway to a cross-freeway to do a turn-around, and traffic was bad, so I said screw it and did a U-turn on the freeway, crossing the median. No traffic coming so, why not? Saved me a lot of time.
Here, though, I tried (and failed, obviously) to do a wide turn to the left. I kept looking out the window...no cars coming, no cars coming, no cars coming, OK let's do this, then turned and checked again as I started my turn and BAM, came out of nowhere.
Then I got stuck as I tried to power through it, dragging the white station wagon with me, then got stuck on the median. Figured I screwed it up royally so I exited, then got back on, and the car I hit was gone. Magic!
