U-turn

A U-turn in driving refers to performing a 180° rotation to reverse the direction of travel. It is called a "U-turn" because the maneuver looks like the letter U. In some areas, the maneuver is illegal, while in others, it is treated as a more ordinary turn, merely extended. In still other areas, lanes are occasionally marked "U-turn permitted" or even "U-turn only."

Occasionally, on a divided highway, special U-turn ramps exist to allow traffic to make a U-turn, though often their use is restricted to emergency and police vehicles only.

In the United States, U-turn regulations vary by state: in Indiana U-turns are allowed as long as the driver follows all of the precautions normally ascribed to making a left turn (yielding right-of-way, etc.). Many places, including Texas and Georgia, have specially designed U-turn lanes (referred to as Texas U-turn lanes). In Michigan, U-turns are required for many left turns to and from divided highways, as part of the Michigan Left maneuver (also referred to as a Michigan Turn).

Nancy Botwin's family

Nancy Botwin

Nancy Botwin, née Price (Mary-Louise Parker, leading character) — also known as Lacey LaPlante (season two) and Nathalie Newman (season six) — was a PTA soccer mom until her husband, Judah, suddenly died of a heart attack. To maintain the upper middle-class lifestyle to which she was accustomed in the fictional town of Agrestic, Nancy entered the world of marijuana dealing. At the start, her regular clients include her accountant, her lawyer, and fellow suburban friends. However, as she expands and fights for survival, she is confronted with the violent realities of her business as she jockeys against competitors, gangs, and drug lords. Adding complications to the situation, are her sudden relationship with Peter Scottson, a DEA agent who discovers Nancy's business, but takes measures to ensure her safety. Peter grew increasingly hostile towards Nancy and is eventually killed. Eventually, Nancy works for a gangster named U-Turn. During one of her runs for him, she meets Guillermo, a Mexican drug trafficker, who offers her a chance to move up in the drug game. Nancy declines, but changes her mind and leaves Agrestic after a fiery situation involving a rival dealer.

    U turn

    by: Scatman John

    Here it is.
    Here it is.
    Make a turn around,
    Make a U-turn now.
    (Scatting by Scatman John)
    Hey you!
    If anybody's home, I'm trying to get through
    with a story for you.
    There's a monster out there and it really
    doesn't care what you say what you do
    if you're young or you're grey.
    Justification was my mode of operation,
    looking good number one on my list.
    Trapped in a circle of a merry-go-round,
    I couldn't get up getting down.
    The things that I was doing was all I ever known,
    I didn't know that I was driven by delusion to the
    bone.
    You want to hear the greatest story ever told?
    There ain't a greater feeling than the healing
    of your soul.
    Baby, I'm not here to sell you but you need someone
    to tell you like it is.
    Like it is.
    Like it is.
    I don't wanna be a preacher
    But you really need a teacher, here it is.
    Here it is.
    Here it is.
    (Scatting by Scatman John)
    Hey You!
    Don't beat yourself up, be gentle with yourself
    'cause there ain't nobody else, and it isn't
    your fault and I know it seems bleak,
    and you're only in this u-turn 'til you meet defeat.
    I never thought I had to go as far as I did,
    I had to leave home and abandon a kid.
    You want to hear the greatest story ever told?
    There ain't a greater feeling than the healing
    of your soul.
    Baby, I'm not here to sell you but you need someone
    to tell you like it is.
    Like it is.
    Like it is.
    I don't wanna be a preacher
    But you really need a teacher, here it is.
    Here it is.
    Here it is.
    Make a turn around, make a u-turn now.

    Baby, I'm not here to sell you but you need someone
    to tell you like it is.
    Make a U-turn, make about face, make a turn around,
    make a turn around, make a u-turn now.
    I don't wanna be a preacher
    But you really need a teacher, here it is.
    Here it is.
