In Naples a hapless driver caused an unexpected delay when he attempted a u-turn in a narrow city street. The man managed to manoeuvre his car in such as way as to only be able to move forward and back a few centimetres at a time. Despite the small size of his Fiat 500, his bumbling meant the car blocked the road. Other vehicles soon began to queue on either side, hooting horns to show their displeasure at having to wait. Minutes later a group of Harley Davidson riders joined those waiting and were followed
In Naples a hapless driver caused an unexpected delay when he attempted a u-turn in a narrow city street. The man managed to manoeuvre his car in such as way as to only be able to move forward and back a few centimetres at a time. Despite the small size of his 2729 Fiat 500, his bumbling meant the car blocked the road. Other vehicles soon began to queue on either side, hooting horns to show their displeasure at having to wait. Minutes later a group of Harley Davidson riders joined those waiting and were followed soon after by a religious procession complete with priest and an emergency service crew. The priest handed his staff to one of the emergency workers and began directing the driver, by now surrounded by gawping locals, angry drivers from the other vehicles and others shouting instructions to the hapless Fiat owner. Under the priest’s guidance, the man was then finally able to manoeuvre his car out of the tight spot, much to the relief of the other road users. The whole embarassing incident was captured on video, which the Fiat driver is not likely to soon forget.
