Step 2: After completing the first point, you must use reverse gear and move the steering wheel to the right. Slowly drive back toward the edge of the road from where you started. You should constantly check your rearview mirror and see if there are cars going from both ends behind.
Step 3: Use the forward gear shift to drive forward while driving to the left side of the road. This way, you can complete the turn and drive in the lane opposite to the lane you drove before.
