a maneuver used to turn a vehicle around in a narrow space by moving forward, backward, and forward again
A three-point turn is a driving maneuver used to turn a vehicle around in a small space, usually on a narrow road. It involves three movements: first, the driver turns the steering wheel to one side and moves forward until the car is partly facing the opposite direction. Then, the driver shifts the car in reverse while turning the wheel in the opposite direction, so the car continues to turn. Finally, the driver moves forward again to complete the turn, facing the opposite direction. This maneuver is commonly used when there is not enough space for a U-turn.
