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. IV.
