The 3-point turn

This is used in the driving exam as a test of skill and judgement. It is not recommended for use in general driving, but may be used in residential areas on streets too narrow for a U-turn.

How to Make a Y-Turn.

1. Check for traffic in your mirrors and blind spot. Signal right. Pull as far right as possible and stop.

2. Check traffic in mirrors and blind spot. When the way is clear, signal left. Make a left-angle turn to the opposite curb or side of the road.

3. Check traffic to left and right. Turn front wheels as far right as possible. Looking behind the vehicle, back far enough so the vehicle clears the curb when you pull forward.

4. Check traffic to left and right and proceed when the way is clear.
