How to do a 3 Point Turn Manoeuvre | Driving Tutorial | Updated 2023

While no longer a manoeuvre on the UK Driving Test, the '3 Point Turn' or 'Turn In The Road' manoeuvre is still a very valuable skill to learn and most Driving Instructors will teach you how to do a 3 Point Turn on your Driving Lessons.
The objective of a 3 Point Turn is to safely and efficiently turn your car to face the opposite direction on a road where it is not possible to do a U-Turn, if the road is narrow, this may become a 5 or even 7 Point Turn. If you are doing the 3 Point Turn driving a Manual car, you will only use 1st and Reverse gears.
Remember, Road Camber is the slight convex curve of the road so water flows towards the curb and is drained rather than building up into a pool in the road.

    Really wish this was still on the test, I passed last week, not having a clue how to do this and today found out, after being yelled at by a man in a car park for taking to long to try turn around and park (it was a super narrow carpark yout had to turn fully round in just to park) that not knowing this makes things way harder, as I was not ever taught this, thank you for this, hopefully it helps me out when I find myself needing to turn around in the next narrow space I am in.

    Is it wrong to put handbrake up once you reach end, then put in reverse, and then full Lock again and then when you come to stop you put hand brake up again and do final turn? So adding the handbrake to it is that wrong?

    When turning full right in first step do you need any indication? I mean signalling right or left? How people behind us would know our intention?

    If you're doing a turn in the road no traffic should be coming so shouldn't need to indicate. If you indicate its to alert other drivers. You don't want to attempt a turn in the road with traffic from the front or rear. Hope that helps.

    This 3 point turn is taught by driving instructors, but wont be asked to do in driving test (it's been taken off). Instead, you will be asked to do any of the other manoeuvres (parallel parking, reverse/forward bay parking & others ) in the test.

    It's been taken off the test completely for driving tests in the Uk but you still need to know how to do it safely. You will definitely need it

    Hi sorry but it is Not a 3 point turn. It is a turn between the curbs using forward and reverse gears. Can be done in 3 5 or more. Examiners words are. I would like you to turn the vehicle around to face the opposite direction using your forward and reverse gears.

    Can't do a three point turn because of pedestrians? C'mon pedestrians have a duty of care to keep off the road until traffic has passed.
