You should use a three-point turn:

On a curve, to turn your car around in a very small space.
On a hill, if the road is clear.
Only if the road is too narrow for a U-turn and you can’t go around the block.
When you miss an exit on a highway.
Explanation

You should only use a three-point turn if the road is too narrow for a U-turn and if you can’t go around the block. You must never make a three-point turn or a U-turn on a curve, a hill, the highway, or where there is a sign that prohibits U-turns, because there may be poor visibility.
