3 Point Turns (pg )
Also know as K-Turns, or Broken U-Turns
3 point turn is one of the hardest turnabouts for a new driver.

4. 3 Point Turns (pg.126-127) Executing the Turn
Stop as close to the right edge of the curb as possible.
Check for traffic in both directions
Wait until you have a second gap
Signal a left turn.
Mirror, Mirror, Blind Spot

5. 3 Point Turns (pg.126-127) Executing the Turn
Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left.
Turn the car perpendicular to the opposite curb and come to a complete stop.
Put the car in reverse.
Check traffic to the left as you turn the wheel all the way to the right.

6. 3 Point Turns (pg.126-127) Executing the Turn
Check traffic to the right.
Turn and look over your right shoulder out the rear windshield.
Stop the car about 3 ft away from the curb. Observe over your shoulder until the car comes to a complete stop.

7. 3 Point Turns (pg.126-127) Executing the Turn
Put the car in Drive and slowly roll out turning the steering wheel to the left until the tires are straight, and the car is pointed in the opposite direction from which you started.
Slowly accelerate to join the flow of traffic

8. Parallel Parking (pg.131-132)
Parallel Parking – parking parallel to the street or curb.
When you locate an empty space, approach in the lane next to the space.
Approach the vehicle in front of the space you intend to parallel park in.

9. Parallel Parking (pg.131-132)
The Approach
Signal 3-4 seconds in advance if possible
Pull the car up about 3 feet away next the car in front of the desired space.
Your passenger mirror to the other vehicles driver side view mirror.

10. Parallel Parking (pg.131-132)
Put the car in Reverse.
Perform a safety sweep.
Slowly release a little pressure off of the break pedal as you turn the steering wheel sharply to the right.

11. Parallel Parking (pg.131-132)
When the car reaches a 45º angle straighten the tires by turning the steering wheel 1 ½ times to the left.
When your front bumper lines up with the rear bumper of the other vehicle turn sharply left.
When the car is parallel to the curb straighten the tires.
If necessary put the car into Drive and center your vehicle between the 2 vehicles.

12. Braking Distance (pg. 95-96)
How are acceleration, Deceleration, and Speed Related? Acceleration – Increase in speed. Deceleration – Decrease in speed. Your ability to drive safely and effectively depends in large part on your knowledge of your vehicle’s acceleration.

13. Braking Distance (pg. 95-96)
Several factors affect a vehicle’s acceleration.
Power of the Engine
The transmission and differential gear ratios
Adhesion between the drive wheels and the road surface.
The weight the engine is pulling.

14. Braking Distance (pg. 95-96)
The amount of time it takes to accelerate from one speed to another is the rate of acceleration.
The time it takes to decelerate from one speed to another is the rate of deceleration.

15. Braking Distance (pg. 95-96)
Rate of acceleration varies with speed
At higher speeds the rate of acceleration is lower than at lower speeds
It generally takes longer to accelerate from 45mph to 55mph than from 20mph to 30mph.
You must allow for more time to pass another vehicle at 50 mph than at 30 mph because it will take you longer to accelerate.

16. Braking Distance (pg. 95-96)
Deceleration rates equally vary with speed.
A vehicle traveling at 60 needs more time and space to slow and brake to a stop than the same vehicle traveling at 30mph.
weight of the vehicle affects its deceleration.
