Complete reversals of direction (1-5)
I believe the answer is:
u-turns
'complete reversals of direction' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for u-turns that I've seen before include "Complete reverses, cars or attitudes" , "Complete reversals, cars or decisions" , "Complete reversals of direction in car driving" , "Complete reversals, of cars or attitudes" , "Complete reversals, of direction or opinion" .)
