Watch the painful moment driver attempts ‘1,600-point turn’ after being blocked in road

THIS is the agonising moment a trapped driver makes a spectacular “1,600-point turn” to escape being blocked in the road.

Stunned onlookers filmed the driver’s daring escape as the car repeatedly failed to get out of the tight spot in Nottingham.

The video shows the miserable attempt at a three-point turn on a narrow road.

The driver has got stuck after a lorry has blocked them in at a T-junction.

As they attempt to turn round and go back the way they came, they get stuck in a seemingly endless loop of tiny turns and adjustments.

Commenting on the online video, which is believed to have been taken on April 5, social media users ridiculed the incredibly complicated manoeuvre.

One wrote: “What is she doing?”

Another added: “This is the best ever,” while someone else suggested the driver was “doing about a 1,600-point turn”.

Although 1,600 is probably pushing it a bit, the original clip uploaded on social media lasts more than three excruciating minutes.

The audio from the original video had to be removed because of the torrent of swearing that the never-ending turn produced from the outraged cameraman.

In the end, the driver does manage to get out of the one-man-jam when the lorry moves out of their way.

The clip comes after shocking dashcam footage was released showing death-defying near misses when tourists drove on the wrong side of British roads.
