What is a three point turnabout?

A three-point turnabout, also known as a three-point turn, is a maneuver used to turn a vehicle around to face the opposite direction in a limited space. It typically involves three main steps: first, the driver turns the steering wheel sharply to one side to move the vehicle toward the curb or edge of the road; next, they shift into reverse and turn the wheel sharply in the opposite direction to back the car into the street; finally, the driver shifts back into drive and completes the turn by moving forward in the new direction. This technique is useful in narrow streets or when a U-turn is not feasible.
