Definition
The automotive maneuver that occurs when a simple three-point turn becomes a geometric nightmare requiring multiple forward and backward adjustments. Usually caused by narrow streets, oversized vehicles, or a driver's optimistic assessment of their turning radius. It's the driving equivalent of trying to fit a couch through a doorway.
Example Usage
I tried to turn my pickup truck around in that alley and ended up doing a full 17 point turn while a line of cars watched in judgment.
