When you entered IMC, why not do a 180 degree turn? Why would you

US Student pilots are required to have 3 hours "under the hood" before
the PPL practical.

This is not meant to imply instrument proficiency, but rather to
provide the minimal expertise required to extricate from an
inadvertent encounter with IMC.

My instructor said it was supposed to be enough to scare me away from
getting into IMC! :-)
