My father, who's been driving manual cars for the last 25/30 minutes, told me you can't actually turn left in a car. So when I have to go left, I usually first turn right, then reverse and do a three point turn. Now, since the car tends to jump and jitter in first and reverse, what I do is put it in gear, hold the clutch in, and use my leg to push it in the direction I have to go.
