Which of the following describes a safe two-point turn technique?

• A. Back up into a driveway on the left
• B. Pull forward through the intersection
• C. Make a U-turn in the street
• D. Back up into a driveway on the right

Answer: (D)

The concept being tested is how to turn around safely on a narrow street using a two-point turn. The best approach is to back up into a driveway on the right, then pull forward out of the driveway onto the street in the opposite direction. This method keeps you moving forward when you exit the area, gives you a clear forward view of traffic, and allows you better visibility of pedestrians and oncoming vehicles as you re-enter the road.

Backing into a driveway on the left is riskier because you’re reversing toward traffic on that side, which reduces visibility and increases the chance of a backing collision. Pulling forward through the intersection doesn’t provide a complete turn-in-place and can require crossing traffic in the intersection, posing a safety and legality issue. A U-turn in the street is typically not feasible in many areas due to space and traffic rules, and it also requires more space and can surprise other drivers.

So, backing into a driveway on the right and then pulling forward onto the street in the opposite direction is the safest, most controlled way to complete a two-point turn.
