Footage of a driver pulling a U-turn on a Toronto highway has left the internet up in arms.
The video surfaced on Reddit Thursday and shows a car stopped horizontally across multiple lanes of the Gardiner Expressway, before it completes a u-turn and drives in the wrong direction.
The car is then seen heading towards on-coming traffic.
There appears to be another car ahead of it driving in the wrong direction as well.

“No way, no way…wow, that’s crazy,” the person filming the incident says as the car heads down the highway.
‘It takes a special kind of moron to make this move,” the Reddit user who posted the video wrote.
It appears no one got injured in the incident. Now Toronto reached out to police for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.
People online were quick to respond, with many questioning why a driver would make such a dangerous decision, with some suggesting it was down to impatience.
“They don’t want to wait in traffic on the DVP exit so they’d rather risk people’s lives to illegally get off the Gardiner any way they want,” one person wrote.
“That’s insane!! And just knowing the gardiner late at night, you have so many people speeding and even racing. Could easily be a horrific accident,” another user said.
Others queried how such reckless drivers manage to hold on to their licence.
“This is actually sickening. Absolute morons putting so many people at risk. Where are these people getting their licenses from?,” someone else said.
“Sadly, having a license doesn’t make someone immune from being a moron. They know what they’re doing. They know it’s illegal. They know it’s stupid and dangerous,” another user responded.
