Q&A for How to Make a Three Point Turn

You should always use your turn signals to let other drivers know where you intend to go.

If you turn to your left (which is usually how you start a 3-point turn), you should look over your left shoulder to check for any vehicles that are currently on that side.

You should definitely signal when starting the turn. You don't need to keep signaling for every directional change while turning though.

It is not advisable, but if it is your only option, it is best to do it as safely but quickly as you can. Make sure you use your signals to alert to other cars to what you are doing, and use hand signals to thank other drivers (if needed) for their patience.

If you drive on the opposite side of the road, just do to the opposite of the directions listed. For example, instead of turning wheel all the way to the left first, do the right.
