Diagram showing the path of a driver performing a U-turn.A vehicle with a smaller turning diameter will be able to perform a sharper U-turn. The turning radius (alternatively, turning diameter or turning circle) of a vehicle defines the minimum dimension (typically the radius or diameter) of available space required for that vehicle to make a semi-circular U-turn without skidding.
Making a U-turn on a curve, a slope, a narrow road, a narrow bridge, or a tunnel. Making a U-turn at a road segment signed No U-turn or painted double solid yellow or white lines or no-overtaking lines. Making a U-turn at a road segment prohibiting left turn. Not surrounding a roundabout to make a U-turn in such an intersection.

In a U-turn for the EV maker, the controversial steering yoke can be swapped for a regular wheel, but current owners will have to pay $700 for the retrofit.
Three-point turns are dangerous because they make the driver vulverable to uncoming traffic for an extended period of time. For this reason, they are generally recommended to be used only as a last resort. [1] This manoeuvre is a common requirement in driving tests.
Steel tire on a steam locomotive's driving wheel is heated with gas flames to expand and loosen it so it may be slipped over the wheel.. The steel wheel of a steam locomotive and other older types of rolling stock were usually fitted with a steel tire (American English) or tyre (in British English, Australian English and others) to provide a replaceable wearing element on a costly wheel.
Motorists wishing to perform a U-turn maneuver at a reverse jughandle must perform a weaving maneuver across all cross-street lanes to travel from the jughandle terminus to the left-turn lane (unless another reverse jughandle is located on the other corner on the side of the cross street ahead of the motorist's original direction, in which case ...
Power oversteer is the process of applying power through the throttle pedal while turning to break the traction forces on the driving wheels. Doing this causes the vehicle to slide, and is also known as a powerslide, and the vehicles movement is primarily based on the non-driving wheels (usually the steering wheels).
