Given a pumping apparatus and a spotter, the Driver/Operator shall back a vehicle from a
roadway into restricted spaces on both the right and left sides of the vehicle, into a restricted
space 12 ft. (3.7 m.) in width, requiring 90-degree right-hand and left-hand turns from the
roadway, so that the vehicle is parked within the restricted areas without having to stop and pull
forward and without striking obstructions.
III. III. III. III. Examiner’s NoteExaminer’s NoteExaminer’s NoteExaminer’s Note
Simulate an alley dock by arranging cones 40 ft. (12.2 m.) from a boundary line (the
dotted line in the illustration is the boundary line). The cones should be 12 ft. (3.7 m.) apart, and
the length should be approximately 20 ft. (6.1 m.). The Driver/Operator should pass the cones
with the dock on the left and then back the apparatus, using a 90-degree left turn, into the alley
dock. The exercise should then be repeated with the dock on the right side, using a 90-degree
right turn.
