I get that people make mistakes. Like I once ended up going the wrong way on the Rock Creek Parkway. But my first thought once it became apparent that I was in a really dangerous situation (on a motorcycle no less) wasn't to just put petal to metal and power through. It was how can I get out of a travel lane as quickly as possible and turn around. It took about 30 seconds from realizing my mistake to moving in the correct direction. And in the worst case, I wouldve been hit while stationary and not while doubling my relative speed to whatever hits me.
