What is the alternative name for a three-point turn?

The alternative name for a three-point turn is "K turn." This name reflects the maneuver's shape and execution, which involves a driver making two turns in different directions to reposition the vehicle within a relatively confined space. During this maneuver, the vehicle moves forward and then backward, typically requiring three distinct motion points to complete the turn effectively.

The other names, such as "V turn," "T turn," and "Y turn," do not accurately describe the three-point turn and are less commonly used or recognized in driver education contexts. The "K turn" is widely accepted and taught, which is why it is the correct alternative name for the maneuver. Understanding the terminology used in driving maneuvers is crucial for ensuring safe and effective driving practices.
