Turnabout

Hitting the kerb during the turnabout

Usually Grade 2 — more serious

Touching or mounting the kerb in the turnabout (three-point turn) is marked under turnabout control.

✕ The fault

Too slow steering across…

✓ The right way

Look all round, then full lock right.

How to get it right

  1. 1Move off slowly with full lock right.
  2. 2Just before the far kerb, steer briskly left while still moving, then stop.
  3. 3Reverse with full left lock, steering right just before the kerb.
  4. 4Observe all around before each stage.
