Achievement unlocked: complaint made to Council about a garbage truck driver.

Seriously, what sort of idiot decides that the best way of dealing with having made a wrong turn in a garbage truck (left hand side drive, so limited visibility) is to back out of the street you turned into. With another garbage truck behind you that has also started to turn into the street, and is forced to back around the corner to give you space. And with a learner driver trying to turn right that you need to back up to give you space to turn, somehow thinking that waving your arms around wildly will somehow convey what the fuck you are trying to do.
