What is wrong with people?
Can't say I've never seen that happen before although it was more dangerous for me since I was in a car driving highway speeds and not on a bike. The drivers in questions overshot their exit, pulled over, then drove backwards to the exit while cars flew at them. I've also seen the reverse, drivers accidentally exiting, then driving in reverse blindly around exit turns to get back on the highway. Not only are they Darwin candidates, but they're also menaces to people who actually know how to drive safely. Can't say why they would do something clearly stupid and illegal rather than just drive to the next exit and double back or get back on the highway and continue on.
