What is the FIRST step we must take when performing a U-turn?
Changing direction
Explanation
To perform a **U-turn** safely, the first step is to **choose an appropriate place on the road**. This is crucial because:
- **Observing the road** is the first step of the R.S.M. safety rule, which involves carefully looking at the traffic and road conditions before making any maneuver. This ensures that the chosen place is safe for making the U-turn.
- An appropriate place may include areas specifically designed for U-turns, such as a **turning circle** or a similar feature. If there is a sign indicating how to make the turn, that indication should be followed.
- Choosing an appropriate place also means ensuring that there are no vehicles approaching at high speed or too close, which could make the U-turn dangerous.
Therefore, selecting the right place is essential to ensure safety when performing this maneuver.
