Turning in the road is a driving manoeuvre that is used to turn the car so that it is facing the opposite direction, by the use of reversing and turning. The most common manoeuvre for turning in the road is a 3-point turn or K-turn, but a 5-point turn or U-turn may be used, depending the width of the available road and shoulder. A maneuver (also spelled manoeuvre) is a tactical or strategical move or action. ... Signs for U-turn ramps on US 22 in Union County, New Jersey A U-turn in driving refers to performing a 180 degree rotation in order to reverse your direction. ...


The official way to perform a three-point turn is to pull to the side of the road, turn wheels towards the centre, accelerate until the car is a few feet from the opposite curb, turn the wheel in the opposite direction, and, using reverse, back up until the vehicle's rear tires are close to the curb on the opposite side of the street, Then turn the steering wheel again toward the centre to position the wheels in the desired direction and accelerate forward in the new direction.


The unofficial way of making a 3-point turn is by turning into a person's driveway, and backing out as one normally would. This is considered trespassing, although it is regularly practiced and rarely enforced by the owners of the driveway.

Ming & FS: Back to One - PopMatters Music Review (1415 words)
Back to One means back to square one, back to the straight hip-hop and jungle sounds that made their name, back with a New York-based label (the nascent Spun Records) and back in charge of their own careers.
Back to One is a more focused effort than Subway Series, and it stands as much of a chance of making them household names in the electronic community as anything they've ever recorded.
"Back to One" is another of many tracks to shuffle between hip-hop and jungle tempos -- which might seem odd unless you know that most hip-hop is exactly half the speed of most drum and bass.
