"My purpose in going the wrong way was to get home quickly. I personally found this behavior dangerous for myself, the people in the car, and other vehicles on the route," the female driver stated in the incident report.

Previously, a clip was circulated on social media recording the image of a woman driving a car struggling to reverse and then turn around on the highway. After a few steps of reversing, the driver stepped on the gas to drive the car in the opposite direction and waved to the person filming the clip.

The incident caused vehicles coming from the access road wanting to enter the highway to have to stop and wait.
