In a driving test, what is a 3 point turn?

Turning in the road is a driving maneuver that is used to turn the car so that it is facing the road in the opposite direction, by the use of reversing and turning. The most common maneuver for turning in the road is a 3-point turn or Y-turn, but a 5-point turn or U-turn may be used, depending the width of the available road and shoulder and the size and maneuverability of the car being driven.
The official way to perform a three-point turn is to pull to the side of the road, turn wheels towards the centre, accelerate until the car is a few feet from the opposite curb, turn the wheel in the opposite direction, and, using reverse, back up until the vehicle's rear tyres are close to the curb on the opposite side of the street, then turn the steering wheel again toward the centre to position the wheels in the desired direction and accelerate forward in the new direction. |

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 UNTIL 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.
BE CAREFUL WHEN MAKING THIS TURN WAIT FOR APPROACHING TRAFFIC TO PASS WATCH FOR PEDESTRIANS. A GOOD SAFETY TIP IS TO ALWAYS TAP YOUR HORN BEFORE BACKING.
