How to Make a U-Turn

Are you driving the wrong way? Did you take a wrong turn somewhere? You should be going the opposite direction, right? No worries, hang a U-turn and correct the problem.

Things You'll Need

  • Cars
  • Switch on the turn signal that indicates the direction of your turn.

  • Check for oncoming traffic.

  • Make sure that a U-turn is not illegal in this location. U-turns should not be made across a double yellow line or where signs indicate that they are against the law.

  • Be sure that you have enough room to make the turn without hitting the curb or any parked cars.

  • Press the gas lightly while turning the steering wheel as far as it will go in the direction you want to turn.

  • Lift your foot off the gas and coast through the turn. Give gas as needed.

  • Enter your new lane and begin driving.
