  That’s not a U turn, that’s a Y turn. A U turn would have been even more impressive.

  My dad is a busdriver (also in Germany, where that TV show is from) and he said that this was only possible because they took the side fences off the bridge. Normally a doubledecker bus is too long for that on a bridge, and there is no ordinary bridge that has no fences on the side…

  @aeris: oh really? you think?
  of course it wouldn’t have worked with fences on the sides. anybody can figure that out. but thats not the point…

  I think the fact that they have the inset reaction shots from the studio guests, like they do on Japanese tv shows. Is this something that is done in a lot of worldwide tv? It doesn’t seem to be a North American (or at least a Canadian/US) thing.

  Well, I for one, thought that was amazing! They are right, that is alot of school and alot of patience cause I would have ended up in the water with the first turn….

  49 or 51 point turn, Shirley? An even number would leave him in reverse.

  it’s not technically a u-turn is it? unless that’s the American term for one of those, it’s what would be considered, a “three point turn” even though it’s more turns than that it the name many people associate. i think in the uk they now just call it a turn in the road

  I’ve never heard of a K-Turn or a Y-Turn…I just didn’t know how to express it so a U-Turn is comprehensible…Gosh! I hope!

  the video would have gone differently had there been guardrails.
