In my country as part of the test for you fill licence you need to perform some manoeuvres one of them being a U Turn on a normal 2 lane road, usually done in a quiet housing estate.

I have been practicing but I am struggling to get it consistently, just wondering if anyone here has any tips!

    I’m learning for my bike exam as well. Looking where you want to end up, really helped me with both the U-turn and the figure 8. And that is not looking at the pavement where I want to go, it’s looking at something above the horizon.

    Nother thing I noticed is that you have much more controll when you squeeze the tank between your legs. It makes your hip movements much more effective in balancing the bike.

    Those combined made it ‘click’ for me.

      Both of those are things my driving instructor told me, worked like a charm! Passed the exam with ease, despite being super nervous.
