What is a "K-turn"?
A K-turn, also known as a Y-turn or a three-point turn, is a driving maneuver used to turn a vehicle around in a narrow space. It involves three steps: first, the driver turns the steering wheel to one side and moves forward, positioning the car in an angled position. Then, the driver reverses the car while turning the wheel to the opposite side, and finally moves forward again to complete the turn, now facing the opposite direction. This maneuver is often used on narrow streets or driveways where a U-turn is not possible.
Example
During my driving test, I had to perform a K-turn to demonstrate my ability to maneuver in tight spaces.
The driver executed a flawless K-turn on the narrow street, avoiding the parked cars.
