Why is it called a U turn and not an n turn
Why is it called a U turn and not an n turn
Basically the title but when we do a "U" turn we actually make a small n not a U.

Maybe it depends on your vehicle? I definitely do more U than "n" turns

I believe OPs point has to do with the direction. From a top-down perspective driving forwards would look like driving upwards, then turning and driving downwards, like an n. U flipped/rotated 180 degrees.

Ahh that makes more sense. I was thinking about the nub of the "n" being included as part of the motion
-
Yeah the nub invalidates the n. It's the wrong shape.

Vehicles vary greatly in turn radius, and it's not just size. I've had big vehicles that could do a U turn just about anywhere, but that damn Saturn...how could a small sedan be so bad at tight turns?
