Tow it and only release it to an executive of the company who shows up to the yard and personally signs off on the fact that they allowed it to happen.

Start a paper trail of execs you can sue when one of these illegal u-turns hurts or kills someone.

Surely these companies will just create a scapegoat-exec role specifically for taking the blame for these accidents if such a system were implemented.
