minus-squareCaststarman@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoMaybe it depends on your vehicle? I definitely do more U than “n” turns
minus-squareexscape@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI 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.
minus-squareCaststarman@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoAhh that makes more sense. I was thinking about the nub of the “n” being included as part of the motion
minus-squareMatt Payne@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoYeah the nub invalidates the n. It’s the wrong shape.
