How to Do a U-Turn & Three Point Turn (Driving Instructor Explains)

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!

Jacqueline, I've been watching these videos to prepare to learn how to drive and I must say these are so well done and I learn a lot every time, you're a one of a kind teacher. I honestly have a huge fear of driving just the idea of it gives me so much anxiety but your videos make me feel more calm about it and reassured and honestly you make driving look fun and not scary! So thank you!

It is so easy to do a 3-point turn. I don’t do it that much but, I do remember on how to do one. I don’t do u-turns at all. I will just turn into a parking lot to turn around in to get to the way I want to go. I seen people doing u-turns on a busy road.
