This maneuver can get you turned around even in a tight location (without performing an 8-point turn). • Check to make sure you have enough room to have the car sideways, and then some. • Without enough room (especially when you are learning) it is easy to damage your car or other property. It is best practiced in an empty parking lot or dirt area (dirt will give you the same skills, but requires less speed, and will cause less tire wear). • Drive to one end of the area (from now on it will be assumed you are in a parking lot) with your back-end pointed in the direction you wish to go.
