When making a U-turn, what must the driver check?

Correct answer

That they do not endanger or obstruct other road users.

That it can be done without endangering or obstructing others, at a suitable place where the manoeuvre is permitted. Signal in advance and occupy the road for the shortest possible time. If unsafe, wait; if waiting in the carriageway blocks following traffic, leave on the right if possible. No universal 100-metre following-distance requirement applies to every U-turn.
