That seems to happen a lot in the US... drivers trying to rectify their car's location vs where they want to go, as they are past the point of making a change. Rather than just drive around the friggen block or making a turn-around further down the road, they make insane maneuvers 'on the spot', like backing up, or coming to a stop in the left lane because they need to get over 3 lanes to the right-turn lane in the 10 feet until the intersection.
I feel your pain. Now make the driver feel the pain of their insurance having to suck up that very expensive repair (new hood, front bumper cover, painting, etc. I'd be curious to know what the final repair bill comes to.
