[HOW TO DO A U-TURN TO PASS A ROAD TEST | STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS]
hi there smart drivers Rick with smart drive test talking to you today about
u-turns step-by-step procedures to execute a u-turn for the purposes of
passing a road test stick around we'll be right back with that information
my depart drivers welcome back Rick with smart drive test talking to you today
about how to execute a u-turn step by step procedures to pass a road test now
just before we get started here if you're new to smart drive test smart
drive test helps new drivers get a license regardless of class veteran
drivers to remain crash free and CDL drivers to start a career as a truck or
bus driver so if you're new here hit that subscribe button as well hit that
Bell that way you'll get instant notification when I get the videos up
for you now u-turns and the reason that I probably haven't done this video yet
although I've had requests from other smart drivers and the latest request was
from franceska and they wanted me to do this and the reason I haven't done this
is because u-turns are not part of the driving culture in many places here in
Canada British Columbia specifically Australia was not part of the driving
culture in Australia however there are places in the world where they do do
these and the southwest of the United States and Arizona was one of the places
that I remembered a lot of u-turns being done so we're gonna go over that today
and you will have to do this there are places on road tests that you'll have to
do this usually it cul-de-sacs and whatnot now I just want to go over the
driving manual here in British Columbia learn to drive smart and there are
several places that you cannot do u-turns when you're driving first one is
any time it interferes with traffic and that's basically the catch-all where
they get you if you get into a crash the police can use that that you were
interfering with other traffic and charge you with negligence in executing
a u-turn when you shouldn't have been executing a u-turn so no that's the
catch-all anytime that interferes with traffic as well you cannot execute a
u-turn on a curve on the crest of a hill where you cannot be seen for 150 meters
or 500 feet you cannot execute one at traffic lights you cannot execute one in
a business district except at intersections where they're not
controlled by traffic lights any time that signs prohibit you making a u-turn
and finally any time that municipal bylaws prohibit you from doing a u-turn
so there's seven legal requirements that have to be met
in order for you to be able to do a u-turn here in British Columbia and that
very much underscores what I used to teach in my legal history courses that
the laws reflect the values of society and the driving society here in British
Columbia does not do u-turns and it's a highly risky maneuver thus all of the
regulations and bylaws that are in place to prevent you from doing a u-turn so
I'm going to show you where to do that I'm going to show you how to do them
safely and do them for the purposes of a road test and out on a road a two-lane
road and those sorts of things to give you some idea of the inherent risks in
doing a u-turn now if you can go around the block I do recommend that you going
around the block rather than doing a u-turn because think about it maybe two
or three minutes of just going around the block is going to potentially save
you being involved in a crash and executing a high-speed maneuver so what
we're gonna do here we're gonna hook up the cameras go for a drive and show you
how to execute u-turn for the purposes of passing a road test where you might
have to do this on a cul-de-sac I know that they do do that here in British
Columbia and other places where you might have to do a u-turn oftentimes if
they make you do a u-turn on a road test it's gonna be in a quiet residential
area so just know that so let's hook up the cameras go for it
and on a road test for the purposes of a road test they're gonna get you at a
dead-end street whether the cul-de-sac that's almost a given on a road test
they're gonna make you do a u-turn at the end of a street such as this one
here where you're going to do a u-turn again go slowly check the traffic behind
you make sure there isn't any traffic coming okay signal to the left and of
course you want to go nice and slow here because there's lots of ice here and
it's going to be bumpy and the slower you go the sharper the vehicle turns so
you can be able to get around here and you can see that it is very bumpy that
we're bumping around here and we cancel our signal
bring the steering wheel back to Street and it's that easy to do you turn at in
a cul-de-sac where there may or may not be able to get you to do a u-turn for
the purposes of your road test now in some of these communities like here in
Vernon in other places they're going to have cul de sacs and they're going to
make you do a u-turn at a cul-de-sac and we're going to come up here and we're
gonna do a u-turn at the intersection here and we're slowing down we're
checking the traffic behind us making sure there isn't anybody coming we're
signaling a signal to the right checking the cross traffic there's any cross
traffic as we move into the intersection signals to the left again 360 degrees
skiing going slowly around cross traffic scanning scanning scanning and we simply
straighten out and we proceed so that's at an intersection and a cul-de-sac
that's how you do a u-turn at those two places we're going to go and find one
work a couple more places here for you to do a u-turn we're going to get into a
little bit more traffic here and do a u-turn frame show you how to do that
however it can't do it at an intersection with traffic lights as I
said in the introduction there are some places in the world that you can do that
but here in British public and stopping before the sidewalk and checking traffic
we're in an alley and the speed limit is 10 miles per hour 20 kilometers an hour
in an alley so just know that for the purposes of your road test so we're
gonna do a u-turn here you can see there's a vehicle coming and again we
want to move out to the right to try and maximize our space in the intersection
and we pull through as you can see here checking the cross traffic
and there's a vehicle coming so I'm checking lots of scanning put on our
right signal and we stopped here at the intersection before the crosswalk to
make sure there is another traffic and that's how you do it
add a t-intersection but you've got to maximize the space so you can get the
vehicle around if there isn't going to be enough space to do a u-turn for the
purposes of getting around there now on the on a road test on that intersection
there is no way that they're going to make you do a three-point or a you turn
it just wouldn't happen on it on a road test because there's just too much
traffic going on and they're emphasizing safety and that is deemed a less safe
maneuver it's not that it's unsafe it's just less safe than what most driving
examiner's are prepared to incur with the new drivers so that's how you do you
turn there okay I'm going to show you how to do this on a multi-lane Road
right here you can see that I'm on multi lane and you need at least three lanes
of traffic okay and I'm moving over now ideally when you're doing it here you
want to do it in front of a laneway like that because you can use that Lane way
as space here to do your u-turn and we got it obviously I missed the light and
I've got to wait for the oncoming traffic to clear before I can do it now
you got to be careful as well with the cars coming out of the parking lot and
whatnot and you check the traffic behind you I'm okay because I'm on a multi-lane
so another vehicle coming and of course nice and slow here and we proceed and
that's how you do it on a multi Lane
and you're gonna need at least three lanes of traffic to do it on multi Lane
and to do it expediently so that you don't get caught it with the traffic
coming the other way now on this roadway here I'm waiting for the street place
because we're not supposed to do on a curb there's a bicycle lane here I'm
gonna pull over on the bicycle lane okay and I'm gonna pull over and I've got my
signal on your signal shoulder check I'm gonna put my left signal on make sure
there's no traffic coming behind me shoulder check there's no traffic coming
it expediently do your u-turn you can see here even though it's I'm up into
the snow here I'm off the curb it wasn't quite enough room there to do a u-turn
but we kind of took a little bit and that's the thing is is that sometimes
there just isn't going to be enough room for you to get around on a u-turn it's
going to be better for you to do a caterer and a three-point turn or a wide
turns and sometimes called but most of the time you're not going to do it there
on the highway like that what you're going to do is do it in an intersection
like this that's going to be much more expedient and you're gonna have the room
that you can get around and figure that out and of course the bigger the
vehicles you have the more space is gonna take I have a small midsize SUV so
there's lots of room art it has a very sharp turning radius so it makes it
easier for me to do that on that highway there and of course I needed just like
another 12 inches another 20 centimeters to get around there and kind of push it
up into the snow there a little bit to get around and do the u-turn so those
are different scenarios for you to execute u-turns we got one more u-turn
here for you we're gonna do it here shoulder tucking turning and again we're
checking the traffic behind us we have a dead-end street here and again nice and
slow checking the traffic behind us down into a slow gear this is going to be
really tight when we stay right over to the right side as much as possible nice
and slow the slower you go the sharper it turns
don't even have my feet on the pedals right now I'm going really slow because
the vehicle turns sharper the slower you go so I can see them up into the snow
there quick review of u-turns u-turns are not
part of the driving culture here in British Columbia but they are elsewhere
thus the request from Francisca to do a video on you turns and the reasons that
they're not part of the driving culture here is because there are a lot of
regulations to prohibit u-turns here in British Columbia and those prohibitions
are you can't do a u-turn at traffic lights you can't do a u-turn on a curve
on a crest of a hill where vision where you're not be able to be seen for 150
metres or 500 feet in business districts except at intersections where there
aren't traffic lights where signs prohibit u-turns and then when municipal
law as well prohibits u-turns so there's a lot of regulations to prohibit u-turns
and thus they are not part of the driving culture here in British Columbia
however on on a road test you will be requested to do one at a cul-de-sac so
know how to do that and practice that for those of you are in places where
they have cul-de-sacs that they will get you to do a u-turn there if you end up
in that residential area as well I showed you how to do one at a
t-intersection and at intersections and lots and lots
of observation shoulder checks and 360-degree scans to make sure that
oncoming traffic is not present otherwise you're very hopefully they're
going to stop or you risk being involved in a crap multi-lane busy highways make
sure you have at least three lanes of traffic because you need two lanes to
get the vehicle around and the bigger that vehicle the less turning race
radius that it has you're going to need even even more spaces you saw there on
the roadway where it kind of pushed up into the scope just a little bit yes
sometimes you may misjudge it and if you misjudge it then it's going to turn into
a three-point turn but again lots of observation and making sure that other
vehicles are not present and on the T intersection where you saw me do the
u-turn I actually stopped at the traffic light and waited for the oncoming
traffic to clear and then I proceeded question for my smart drivers are
