U Turn Tips (discuss.tchncs.de)

In my country as part of the test for you fill licence you need to perform some manoeuvres one of them being a U Turn on a normal 2 lane road, usually done in a quiet housing estate.

I have been practicing but I am struggling to get it consistently, just wondering if anyone here has any tips!

Be sure to maintain tension on the rear wheel. This is a combination of slipping the clutch and dragging the rear brake (this works well for low speed maneuvering as well. Turn your head and look where you want to go. Looking directly in front of you may cause you to fall. You can also lean forward to help maintain stability.

Second the rear break. For some reason people told me to drag the front brake. It never worked for me. Rear brake however, that worked wonders for me
