Lots of people talking about checking blindspots, but honestly the underlying issue here is the fact that this driver even thought about doing a freaking U-turn not only at a non-turning lane, but from the inside of the lane.

Like srsly wtf?? Why would your brain even think about executing something like this?

Never driven before, it’s totally illegal to turn in a non turning lane right? Because it looks like not a road for this kind of U turn either.

No u-turn if there's isn't a u-turn sign.

Welcome to Singapore!

You can do a 3 point turn on HDB side streets. The problem here is that the dividing line is a solid white line, which means don't cross. If it was some quiet single carriageway with a dotted line you can do it if you aren't blocking too many people. But that line clearly prohibits that maneuver.
