Unit 03, Lesson 08 - Two-Point & Three-Point Turns

Two-point turns and three-point turns are maneuvers that can be used when it is necessary to turn a vehicle around on a roadway, and there is not enough room available to complete a U-Turn.

  1. Signal a left turn.
  2. Complete a head check for traffic and pedestrians.
  3. Pull to the left into the driveway.

  6. Turn the steering wheel to the right.
  7. Back out of the driveway and into the proper lane.
  8. Stop, shift into gear, and move forward.
