When changing direction of travel, what must you take into account?
U-turns
Explanation
When changing the direction of travel, it is essential **not to endanger or obstruct other road users**. This is because the maneuver of changing direction involves making a U-turn on the road, which can affect vehicles traveling behind or in the opposite direction.
- **Safety first**: Before making the U-turn, make sure you do not force other drivers to reduce their speed or make sudden maneuvers. If this happens, it is better to stop on the right shoulder and wait until it is safe.
- **Suitable conditions**: If there is not enough shoulder or the place is not safe, continue until you find a suitable spot to make the U-turn without risk.
- **Use of reverse gear**: Reverse gear should only be used in exceptional situations, such as when there is no other option due to obstacles on the road.
In summary, the priority is always safety and respect for other road users, avoiding any situation that may cause danger or interference in traffic.
