Three Point Turn

To begin a three-point turn when turning left, position your vehicle as close as possible to the right side of the road. This provides maximum space for maneuvering. Activate your flasher to signal slowing down or stopping, then switch to the left flasher to indicate your turn.

Before proceeding, it is crucial to perform thorough verifications: check your mirrors and blind spots to the left, as you will be crossing two lanes on a two-way street. Also, check the front for oncoming traffic. Once clear, smoothly accelerate and turn the steering wheel completely to the left until it locks. Advance as far as possible to the left.

Shift into reverse, and again, check both sides for any obstacles or traffic before backing up. Smoothly accelerate while turning the steering wheel completely to the right, backing up as much as possible. Then, shift back into drive, re-verify both sides, and turn the steering wheel completely to the left. Continue driving until the car is straight, then turn the wheel one and a half turns to the right to straighten the wheels. Remember, this maneuver cannot be performed over a solid line.
