Complex?? A-hem.
Sorry, I was using my local traffic situation.

We don't need laws telling us exactly how to behave on a road.
Personally I'd rather have them. I'd much rather know where I stand if another vehicle is involved in a collision with me, be they bike or car.

As such, it is also silly to say that I wouldn't make a quick U-turn just because it is "illegal". If I am riding, and I want to turn around, and I think it to be safe, then dammit, I will turn around. Wouldn't you?
Again no. It irritates me when I see drivers, or other cyclists breaking the rules, so I try not to. Maybe I'm just an anal retentive, but generally (and I'm sure there are exceptions) road regulations are there for a good reason.
