No U-turn syndrome (NUTS) is a term coined by Singaporean entrepreneur Sim Wong Hoo to summarise the social behaviour of Singaporeans, whom he described as deferring to higher authorities before proceeding with any action due to its strict legal system and its penalties. He made a comparison of traffic rules in Singapore to those found overseas, to describe the phenomenon.
