Where is a U-turn most clearly unsafe?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. On a bend or hill crest hiding oncoming vehicles
- Step 1: A U-turn needs good view in both directions. Step 2. Do not turn where you cannot see approaching vehicles. Answer: On a bend or hill crest hiding oncoming vehicles. Why not the others: On a quiet straight road with good visibility both ways: good visibility both ways is what makes a U-turn comparatively safe. In a wide junction designed for it: a junction designed for turning gives space and a view of other traffic. On a service road with no traffic: an empty road with a clear view lowers the risk.
