III. III. III. III. Examiner’s NoteExaminer’s NoteExaminer’s NoteExaminer’s Note
This exercise measures the driver’s ability to turn the vehicle around in a confined space
without striking obstacles. The turn is accomplished within an area 60 ft. x 100 ft. The driver moves
into the area from a 12 ft. opening in the center of one of the 60 ft. legs, turns the vehicle 180
degrees, and returns through the opening. There is no limitation on the number of times the driver
has to maneuver the vehicle to accomplish this exercise, but no portion of the vehicle should extend
over the boundary lines of the space.
