Before performing a U-turn, what is the driver primarily obliged to verify?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

To perform a U-turn, traffic regulations stipulate that the driver must choose a suitable place and ensure that the maneuver does not endanger or obstruct other road users. If there is no such certainty, the driver must abstain from performing it. Accelerating is incorrect, as speed generally needs to be reduced, and waiting for absolutely no vehicles to be in sight is excessive; it is sufficient that visible vehicles are at a distance that allows the maneuver without forcing them to abruptly change their trajectory or speed.
