Anyone know how much area you need to turn a Scooby around?
I'm only asking because I'm planning a driveway and need to prove the council that I can turn a car round on it, i.e. a 3 point turn.

What?? Why do you need to prove that? I though as long as you have laid a driveway and a car can fit, the council cant really refuse a drop kerb (unless obvisous reasons)
My parents drive can fit 3 cars on it but only one next to the other, and they can only drive or reverse up, no room to 3 point turn?
I would have thought no bigger than a small road (residential type road) the sort that learners go down to practice their 3 point turns?

surely it'd just be the diagonal lenght of the car plus a tiny bit more. You can turn round in this space, but it may be more than a 3 point turn

ive overdid my confidence the other day and ended up in a austin powers buggy moment (100 point turn), they dont have a good turning circle but i havnt found a place that i wouldnt get into with the scoob that i would with the punto (apart from tesco's carpark )

why dont you 'borrow' a small car for the figures?

I've got a plot of land with a new property on it. The driveway will be accessed from the the existing road which is shared with the property next door. I have designed the house using CAD but the council want the driveway showing on the plans aswell. I don't know whether I need a specific area to turn in or whether I can just estimate the amount of space I need.

Mines a classic, I imagine it's roughly the same though.

I have 10 ish Metres for the drive, maybe I could fudge it a little?
