Size of Space

You’re going to need to know that to do three point turn in the parking lot.

It’s three parking spaces.

To practice your 3 point turn in a parking lot, set your cones 3 parking spaces apart.To practice your 3 point turn in a parking lot, set your cones 3 parking spaces apart and one space deep.

So when you practice this, get some pylons, and set them up, and then do the procedure as I’m going to show you here.

So let’s get going.

Roll Down Windows

Before we get started doing the test, roll down the windows, especially at the back.

You’ll need to get used to the road noise, as well.

It will help you with your slow speed maneuvers ’cause you can hear what’s going on, and make sure you bring a mask.

Make sure you bring gloves.

You may need those for your test center.

Pull Over to the Right

You’re going to pull into the space as if you would, along a curb of a road, signal to the right, and just as you can see the front of the curb just about to go into the front of the car, or the front of the vehicle, stop.

Okay, we’re signaling to the right.

We’ve completely stopped.

Mirror signal, shoulder check, 360° degree scan, signaling to the left.

Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, nice and slow, really slow.

When you do your Y turn, just as the pylon disappears in the front of the vehicle, bring your car to a stop.When you do your 3 point turn, just as the pylon disappears in the front of the vehicle, bring your car to a stop.

Just as the cone disappears at the front, stop, and just turn your steering wheel back to straight.

So we’re back to straight signal, right?

‘Cause we’re going to move in that direction.

Signal Every Time You Change Direction – Especially in Reverse

Vehicle into reverse, 360° degree scan, shoulder checks, check your backup camera, if you have one, all right, and looking out the back, and reversing nice and slow, nice and slow, and just about there.

I can’t wear my mask because I can’t talk to you and do what I need to talk to you, but you’re going to need to wear a mask for your test.

So practice doing that.
