On a three point turn, is there a certain order that you need to look in your mirrors?

Question

for example do i need to look in my rear view and then left and then right?

Answer 1

Just so you USE the mirrors, order shouldn't matter. If you just start backing up and the examiner notices you're still staring straight ahead, he'll mark you up.

Answer 2

Its no longer a three on the test is it.

And as long as you make over-rated looks at the mirror and all around you and you dont hit any kerbs you should be alright.

You have to exagerate the mirror looks though incase the examiner misses one or two.

The times to look in a rear view mirror when driving should be EVERY 6 SECONDS

Answer 3

When you are about to make the turn look forward and then back, make the turn looking left and right and rear, then straighten it out and go forward after looking out the rear.

Answer 4

On any turn, always check the mirror on the side of the direction you are turning first...If you are turning right, check right side mirror...Then check back over right shoulder for blind spot...Same for turning left...Then quickly check the rearview and opposite side mirror...Make sure that you will not hit anything with the front or side of your vehicle...Constantly repeat while backing

Answer 5

Presumably, you are asking this for a driver's test.

As such, the "order" isn't as important as the fact that the testing official sees that you are doing it.  Having said that, you should always look in the direction you will be going into, last, just in case someone comes up from that side.

Answer 6

I wouldn't think so. Are you asking for the driver's test? I would check the manual, if it doesn't say in there (like for left or right turns) then I wouldn't worry about it.
