Explanation
If you miss your turn you should proceed until you reach a safe area to turn around or go on to the next intersection where you can proceed in the direction you want to go. Never back up in the middle of the road, because other drivers would not expect you driving backward and it could cause a collision. This is the safe and legal way to handle this driving situation.
