points for pull-ups and crossing over or touching boundary lines or
cones. You will be permitted to exit the vehicle to check behind.
When exiting the vehicle you must set your parking brake and place
the vehicle in neutral. You must safely exit facing the vehicle and
maintain three points of contact at all times. You must complete the
exercise as directed. Specific instructions will be given for each

I will have you pull forward past the alley. Stop when I raise
my hand (like this). Then back straight through the alley until
the front of your vehicle has cleared the last set of cones.
You are allowed one free pull-up and may exit the vehicle only
once to check behind the vehicle during this exercise. Please
set your parking brake and sound your horn when you have completed
the exercise. Do you have any questions? |
