Jul 14, 2007 - The SF U-ie

No U-Turn San FranciscoHaving recently migrated to San Francisco from Los Angeles I have been left aghast, furious, saddened and stunned at the number of drivers in San Francisco who apparently feel it is their God-driven right to perform a u-turn wherever and whenever they feel like it.

Okay, parking sucks here. I get it. I.GET.IT. But no. No, no, NO! You don't get to turn around wherever you feel like it. There's an old lady crossing the street there, there's a line of cars waiting to go through a green light, there's a pigeon trying to get a crust of bread! Even when parking isn't the issue it still seems like it doesn't matter. If something a driver wanted is behind them, they must make a U-ie. Can't go around the block, nope. Gotta pull the U-ie.

It's viral... it happens daily... this is an EPIDEMIC here, people! This is why it must have a name, be classified and exposed. The signature automotive move for the city of San Francisco is: The S.F. U-ie.

It's real. It exists. It will happen to YOU.

Ahhh - c'mon. I think you Southerners are being a little harsh, don't you think??? Is the term LA Drivers an oxymoron?

Uhhmmm...are you sure this is typical of SF only? Seems to be rather rampant in my neck of the woods too.

Great observation!! The SF U-ie is just another symptom of CDS--California Driver Syndrome. Among other symptoms, two more biggies in SF are "red light running" and "CA stopping."
