On a 6-lane road, a 16-seater vehicle executed a sudden U-turn, swerving from the right curb directly into the path of an oncoming motorcycle. The quick maneuver resulted in a collision with the motorcycle, which was traveling rapidly from behind. The extent of injuries is currently unknown.

Drivers changing direction must not only signal but also observe thoroughly, proceeding only when safety is assured. Vehicles should only move when the road is clear and no other vehicles are approaching at high speed.

For a U-turn, drivers should move into the left lane well before the designated opening. When maneuvering to reverse perpendicularly into a driveway or curb, patience is key; wait until no high-speed vehicles are approaching.

Motorcyclists should maintain active observation from a distance and avoid speeding past vehicles that are positioned diagonally across lanes. Such vehicle positioning often indicates a potential lane change, increasing the risk of collision.
