Minnesota Blue Card Practice Test

What should you do if you encounter a U-turn near a blind curve?

1. Attempt the U-turn

2. Slow down and proceed with caution

3. Continue driving without stopping

4. Do not make the U-turn

The correct answer is: Do not make the U-turn

In situations where you encounter a U-turn near a blind curve, making the U-turn is unsafe due to the limited visibility and the potential for oncoming traffic. Blind curves can conceal hazards, such as other vehicles, pedestrians, or obstacles. Attempting a U-turn in such conditions increases the risk of collisions, as it may not be apparent whether the road is clear. Instead, it is important to prioritize safety. Not making the U-turn ensures that you avoid putting yourself and others at risk. Maintaining a safe driving environment is critical, particularly in situations where visibility is compromised. This choice reflects adherence to safe driving practices and awareness of road conditions that could lead to dangerous situations.
