Turn In The Road / 3 Point Turn | Learn to drive: Manoeuvres

This is an example of how to do the 'Turn-In-The-Road' manoeuvre, as previously used on the old UK driving test.

The aim is to safely turn your car around to face the other direction, without touching either kerb - so you need to use good observation skills whilst controlling the car carefully.

If you see any other traffic approaching, then keep your car stationary until you are sure it is safe to move.

If you can't complete the manoeuvre in a '3 point turn' then continue, as completing a '5 point turn' is still acceptable.

It is worth remembering that in order to pass the driving test, you do not have to drive (and manoeuvre) perfectly. Just so long as you can do what is asked whilst remaining safe then you will pass.

Thanks for this video. It helped me to calm my nerves. I already panic before getting into the car, so these videos give me increased reassurance.

It helps if you counter steer just before you come to a stop.

As you are pulling away don’t let the car drive on half clutch her so that your going slow and you NEED to have one last look to your left as you pull off after you’ve done your 3 point turn

[sergiuadrian]

He did not looked behind before reversing..
If stopped right next to the kerb it is not necessary to look on the blind spot with the kerb .. you can if you want.

When approach the opposit kerb straighten your front weels.

Does your steering wheel go itnto full lock or do u just keep turning

[roseelaasif]

Can you explain the three point turning, showing the clutch and brake use. What I need to do with clutch and brake as I’m doing the three point turning.

[saadshah]

is there a concept of dry steering? for instance if your car is stationary while doing a 3 point turn?

[Grace-ozic]

is it a fail on your test if you hit the curb during any of the manoeuvres?

[ravitejamalepu]

How to judge that our tires didn't hit the kerb?

Hi there, I'm a little confused! When doing the turn do I have to use my handbrake. You don't but my instructor says I have to.

[ericaann-mfdd]

Hey my name is Erica Jones I am having trouble with my 3 point trun

[smc]

Is it a driving fault to use your hand brake during manoeuvres even when you're not finished?

[B.Swan]

Hmmm I'm not convinced that this Is the official way to drive... at 1.28 did his hands not cross over when driving forward to cone off the 3 point turn... Is that allowed??
