A video of a driver executing the perfect U-turn on a narrow mountain road is going viral online. In the video, we can see a blue car slowly turning around on the road – and viewers were stunned to note the cliff edge next to it. At a point in the video, the car looked like it was just about to go over the edge, but the driver managed to execute the U-turn perfectly and drove off.

As the video went viral, many news outlets also picked it up and praised the driver for making a dangerous attempt, but digging a little deeper reveals a slightly different story.

The video was first shared in December last year by a YouTube channel called DrivingSkill, which makes it clear that it was not an amateur driving the car but an expert demonstrating how to make U-turns on a very narrow road.
