Can confirm. Affects 23w14a.
When was the last version this functioned correctly? Has it always been like this?
As far as I'm aware, the behavior was always been like this. Regardless, I still think that not being able to guide your vehicles out of dangerous situations like these doesn't feel right. I would consider this bug to be a moderate inconvenience as once players find themselves in this scenario, it can be difficult to get themselves out of it.
