Dash cam footage of a motorist stopping on a roundabout and attempting to reverse after missing the exit has been shared online.
The video, which was filmed on the A17 in Lincolnshire, shows a small hatchback stopped on the inside lane of a major roundabout with fast-flowing traffic forced to take evasive action.
The car’s reverse lights can be seen to be illuminated, but the motorist abandons the manoeuvre as a motorhome, and articulated lorry and cars pass behind it.
Eventually, the left-hand side indicator flashes and the car moves into the left-hand lane to make a U-turn and drive the wrong way to take the exit.
Becky Clarke, who recorded the footage on her dashcam, said: “This was when my husband was driving along Main Road, in Gedney and we were stopped at the A17 Gedney roundabout.
“We were quite shocked when we watched it back at how many accidents could have happened – which thankfully didn’t – but why not just go round the roundabout?
“Our Lincolnshire roundabouts must have different rules to other counties”.
