While a third commented: I’m still confused as to why you would not just reverse out around the corner. But hey a 20-point turn also works I guess.

Another said: I can't be the only one looking at this thinking, how on earth do you even get into that situation?

I know exactly where this is. Was this an attempt to leave without paying for parking? Another user added

This is not the first time the driver has found themselves in agonizing situations.
