U-turn near miss
29 Jan, 2026 - 7 days ago - on Elizabeth Street I saw a white car with brake lights on up ahead, just behind a parked rubbish truck. I pulled a little to the right to give them both room in case of doors being opened then saw the car’s right indicator go on. Thinking they might move a little I stayed in the traffic lane but as they hooked a fast u-turn I realised I needed to brake hard, pull left and hope I didn’t hit them. Elbow and pedal came close to scraping the car and the truck driver looked as shocked as me that I’d stayed upright. Incident reported to police with rego captured on the rear camera which shows driver didn’t stop. Rear camera date and time also reset 🤦🏻.
