Explanation
When making a three-point turn, first ensure that the road ahead and behind you is clear. Then, signal right, pull over to the right, and stop. Turn left and cross the road until you are facing the left curb. Check for traffic again, turn your steering wheel fully to the right, and look behind you as you reverse. Stop before reaching the right curb. After checking for traffic one more time, turn your steering wheel fully to the left and move forward to complete the turn when it is safe.
