And then you back out and go the way you were coming, right? That’s a three point turn. You used a driveway to make it easier, but it’s the same thing.
My Mom at 88yo decided it was time to stop driving. But she needed ID. I think Colorado just mailed one too her or something. It was stupid. She recognized that she should no longer drive. Reflexes gone, sight failing. But she got a drivers license.
Yeah, I know. I’ve just never done a three point turn in the apparently legally appropriate way. The woman in the video I watched said you must not ever pull into a driveway because that is private property so now I feel like a scofflaw. 
The part of the driveway parallel with the sidewalk is either public property of a public easement. Assuming there’s a sidewalk there. When I use a driveway, I don’t go up farther than that.
Nothing is illegal if you don’t get caught!
(Warning: Do not say that during the driver’s test.)
I got my license thanks to a computer error. It asked a series of questions, which I mostly got right. Then it started asking in Spanish, which I do not speak. I mentioned it to someone and they pressed a few buttons and the questions were English again….and also the ones I’d already answered. I didn’t mention that to anyone. 
Thankfully I was better at the driving part.
When I moved from California to Oregon, they didn’t even ask me to take a written test. AND they let me keep my REALID endorsement without jumping through a lot of extra hoops.
I wonder what the other options were.
When they are in a crosswalk
When you like them well enough to not want them dead
When you know each other well enough that he’d probably be able to identify you
I’d say “when my brakes are malfunctioning” would be an acceptable exception.
Continuing the hijack, but I always thought that ‘3-point turn’ was 1 point too many.
You are at the right side of the road, crank the wheel all the way to the left, make a turn until your front wheels are at the curb and stop. Point 1. Put the car in reverse, crank the wheel all the way to the right, back up until your rear wheels are at the curb and stop. Point 2. Turn the wheels to the left and drive away.
But officer, the pedestrian was three miles away down a different side street!
Returning to evil folk- this guy is clearly in need of some help. The pictures aren’t NSFW, but they’re sad.
That’s 3 points. You just described a three point turn.
1:
crank the wheel all the way to the left, make a turn until your front wheels are at the curb and stop
2:
crank the wheel all the way to the right, back up until your rear wheels are at the curb and stop
3:
Turn the wheels to the left
You just described the three points of a three point turn. You just didn’t number them all.
Not if I don’t come to a stop before my first turn. That’s the way I make a 3-point turn, anyway.
I don’t see how that makes a difference. I generally don’t stop either. The key isn’t stopping, it’s turning to the side so that you can make your car perpendicular (at least somewhat) before reversing into the opposite direction, then finally going back into drive to head off into the opposite direction you started in. Here’s even a picture of a classic three point turn that matches what you described:
I mean, if nothing else you seem to be doing it correctly.
I was 17 when we moved from Iowa to Missouri which is why I had to retake the driving test. There was no retake when I moved to Nebraska or when I moved from there to Kansas. When I moved to Texas I had to do the computerized written part.
It’s probably because I’m an old, crotchety boomer, but online DL renewal means no vision test, and that scares me.
I’m not sure what the current DL renewal policies are here at various ages, since I don’t drive. What I did find annoying was not being able to renew my state ID card online a few years ago. This was during the pandemic, and I had to make an appointment with the DMV office. This required me to take two busses each way, which tied up most of the morning.
In my state, drivers over 75 must renew every 5 years in person, and that includes a vision test.
In Nebraska:
… Specifically, Nebraska: requires drivers age 72 and older to renew their licenses in person , and. accepts requests from family members and others for the DMV to conduct unsafe driver investigations…
New picture, vision test and the Drivers License staff can decide you need to take either the written test or driving test, at their discretion. It’s a pain because you have to go on line and make an appt on a website that is awkward and very non-intuitive, as only governmental websites can be.
