Another U Turn favourite to watch out for is motorists heading south up the 650-180 A5 from the flyover then turning right into the Murco petrol station opposite Geron Way1Y0-A11a quick round the forecourt and then pop straight back out again onto the A5 to go north. 642-972 At certain times of the day you would be surprised how many vehicles do this and something the petrol station seems not able to stop._________________1Y0-A06
