500 swings wide
Despite the distance between her car’s wheels being a mere eight (8) feet, Fiat 500 owner Gita L. Dietz enthusiastically swung her car into oncoming traffic in order to make right-hand turns seven times on her way to work (and seven times on her way back from work, later the same evening). Having apparently seen via a video application loaded onto her mobile phone the maneuver performed by a professional driver operating a vehicle with multiple wheelbases (a rig towing a trailer), Gita immediately decided to start doing the same every time she turned her car (which has a single wheelbase).
Friends and neighbors are concerned about the mental wellbeing of Ms Dietz; she tends to signal a turn in one direction before moving her car in the complete opposite direction, which is a lethally dangerous and totally asshole way to conduct oneself as the driver of a compact passenger vehicle. Competent drivers eschew such behavior and simply turn their cars in the direction they want to go without countersteering first. (For more information about some guidelines for how to turn vehicles, consider reading this page from the California DMV.)
