Which action is part of the safest two-point turn?

Back into a driveway on the right is the safest way to perform a two-point turn. This positions you to reverse off the main lane away from moving traffic and then pull forward into the street in the direction you want to go, with a clear line of sight to oncoming vehicles and pedestrians as you re-enter traffic. Reversing into a left-side driveway would place you into the path of traffic from the opposite direction when you exit, increasing risk. Backing into a driveway on the curb or onto the sidewalk also puts you near pedestrians or obstacles and isn’t safe or legal in many places.
