Question 62

There are $2017$ lines in a plane such that no $3$ of them go through the same point. Turbo the snail can slide along the lines in the following fashion: she initially moves on one of the lines and continues moving on a given line until she reaches an intersection of $2$ lines. At the intersection, she follows her journey on the other line turning left or right, alternating the direction she chooses at each intersection point she passes. Can it happen that she slides through a line segment for a second time in her journey but in the opposite direction as she did for the first time?
