What is a "U-ey"?

A U-ey is a casual term for a U-turn, which is when a vehicle makes a complete 180-degree turn to go in the opposite direction. This maneuver is often used when a driver needs to change direction quickly without having to backtrack or drive a long distance. A U-ey is usually done at intersections or wide areas where there is enough space to safely perform the turn. It is a common way to turn around on the road when there is no other option for making a quick change in direction.
