What must be done regarding speed when making a U-turn?
U-turns
Explanation
To perform a **U-turn** safely, it is essential to **reduce speed**. This is due to several reasons:
- **Safety**: By decreasing speed, the risk of being a hazard to other drivers is reduced. If other vehicles are forced to brake suddenly, an accident may occur. Therefore, it is important to wait until it is safe to make the turn.
- **Vehicle control**: Reducing speed allows for better control of the vehicle during the maneuver. This is crucial to perform the U-turn with a single turn and without the need to use reverse gear, unless absolutely necessary.
- **Visibility and space**: By reducing speed, there is more time to assess the surroundings, ensure there are no nearby vehicles, and that there is enough space to perform the U-turn without interfering with other drivers.
In summary, reducing speed is essential to ensure that the U-turn is performed safely and without endangering other road users.
