How do you do a 3 point turn?

Question

I'm going for my road test today and the 3 point turn is on the test. I'm still a little confused on how to do it. That is the only thing I'm worried about the test. Could someone give me the exact steps on how to do it? (With everything including the signals)

Answer 1

one two three turn!

Answer 2

HERE IS A VIDEO

Answer 3

"U cant c me" has pointed out the basic method for doing a 3 point turn.

Don't forget that you must always cover your brake during this manoeuver unless you actually need to accelerate a bit.

Remember too, that you have absolutely NO right of way when making a U-turn, 3 point turn, or whenever you back up.

Look to the rear while you back up (and around you too). Don't use your mirrors to back up. Anything can appear from anywhere at anytime.

Don't do this too quickly and observe well. Signal and shoulder check before any lateral movement of your car.

I watched that "video" which was pasted on "oneluvj..."'s answer. It left out signalling to the right and pulling over to the curb. It also showed the driver "dry steering" (steering without moving). This is bad for your tires, and for your front end and steering controls. Try to always move a bit and then steer.

Answer 4

1. SIGNAL WITH YOUR RIGHT DIRECTIONAL. PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT AND STOP...... SIGNAL WITH YOUR LEFT SIGNAL AND CHECK FOR TRAFFIC.

2. WHEN CLEAR TURN LEFT CROSSING THE ROAD UNTILL YOU ARE FACING THE CURB.

3. CHECK AGAIN FOR TRAFFIC. TURN YOUR WHEELS AS FAR TO THE RIGHT AS THEY WILL GO AND BACK UP TO THE OPPOSITE CURB OF THE ROAD.

4. STOP, CHECK AGAIN FOR TRAFFIC AND PULL AWAY FROM THE CURB
