I always have. You look to the right and no cars are coming. But then you look to the left and a bunch of cars are coming. Then there are no cars coming from the left, but a bunch of cars are coming from the right! What I usually do is turn right, turn left into the first business or driveway then turn right. Especially if I'm pulling out of a parking lot and there is someone behind me. I know my girlfriend says she does it. what about you?

You might enjoy living in Michigan, then. They have what we lovingly refer to as FUMLs there. You mus pass the intersection, go to a designated uturn line and then head back to the street that you just passed to take a right turn. Supposedly, it is supposed to help lower the amount of accidents, but it has always seemed rather weird to me.

I dont do it all the time but I've done it often enough. Sometimes the cars just keep coming and you cant make a left turn to cross over where you need to go so rather then sit there for minute after minute its easier sometimes to just turn right then pull into some place on the left and then kind of turn around to go back the direction you wanted to go.
