Jaqueline explains how to do a u-turn and three point turn like a pro! She goes through how to determine a safe spot, where to look, possible dangers, and common mistakes.

If you find yourself making a wrong turn or going down the wrong street, u-turns and 3-point turns can be quite handy to handle. If the road is wide enough, you can make a u-turn. If the road is too narrow for a u-turn, you will need to make a 3-point turn instead.

Before you make the maneuver, make sure that you have enough space to do so and that you will be able to complete the maneuver without impeding the flow of traffic. Think of u-turns and 3-point turns as the last resort, most of the time it’s easier and safer to go around the block!
