Before making a U-turn, what should you check when choosing the location?

Correct answer

That it is permitted and can be done without danger or obstruction.

That the manoeuvre is permitted and can be performed without endangering or obstructing others, occupying the road for the shortest possible time. Article 78 requires a suitable location, advance signalling and a safety check. Looking for pedestrians and other vehicles is part of that check, not an action to disregard. If those conditions cannot be met, wait or find another lawful location.
