Three Point Turns
Has anyone else noticed the number of young drivers doing 3 point turns lately, last week there was one doing it in Union Road Ossy, I passed my test in the 60's and I don't think I've done a 3 point turn since. also taxi drivers see to be catching on to it, but then they have their own rules. Whilst I'm on my rant also cars parking facing the wrong way on main roads and then sticking the nose out to make other drivers let them out
does my head in |
Re: Three Point Turns
My navigation isn't so good, so I have to do many three point turns over the years.

I stopped driving twelve years ago, but when I was working, and given my favourite parking spot......you had to be good at three point turns....many folk were not and I reckon that is why that particular place to park was always left vacant. |

What irritates me about three-point-turns is the number of other drivers or pedestrians who can see what you're doing, but come barrelling right up to you and get in the way, anyway. And, the number of people who try to use a mini roundabout to return the way they came, then have to reverse because their car doesn't have the turning circle to do it. The mini-roundabout outside my house has signposts on all four corners, so they can't even do it in one move by mounting the pavement (not that that makes it acceptable). Quote:

Still, not many people can spare their journey time for a wry little lesson like that. |

The world would be a much better place if drivers like you didn't believe they have a divine right to be in front of everyone else. How do you get out of a parking space? Barge your way out I would bet. |
Re: Three Point Turns
You park in a manner that doesn't inconvenience all the other road users

Re: Three Point Turns
It's them Chelsea tractor drivers and white van men that park close up to your motor on carparks. So close that it's requires a contortionists skills to get into your car.
That really get's my goat D. |
Re: Three Point Turns
Accidents are caused by two arrogant bone heads meeting up, neither of whom will give way. I was taught to drive in a defensive manner. Too many drivers drive in an aggressive manner. And really: what is the issue of someone doing a three point turn?

Re: Three Point Turns
the only issue is that it is done in a safe manner and a safe place.

Re: Three Point Turns
Looking out of the window yesterday morning the first thing I saw was a police car doing a three point turn in front of my house. Taxis also do it regularly too, its a bit odd as the street is quite narrow with a high kerb on one side.

Because so many drivers are passive the way you think they should be, these bullies are all over our roads. You aren't helping. Quote:

Re: Three Point Turns
I don't think 3 point turns or u-turns should be done on a main Rd.
