4-4
Figure 4-2 Skill Test No. 2
(1) Testing Procedure. Tell the applicant to position vehicle with front
bumper over the first limit line (position 1). Then drive along the “right lane,” turn into the “left
lane” at position 2, and continue until rear bumper is positioned over the second limit line
(position 3). No part of the vehicle is to cross the right or left limits, nor touch any stanchion.
After completing the test in the forward direction, using mirrors, follow the same path in reverse,
changing from the “left lane” to the “right lane” at position 2.
(2) Scoring Procedure. Start the scoring when his/her front bumper moves
from the starting line and ends when the rear bumper moves over the line at the end of the test.
Record the number of stanchions or lines touched. Repeat the procedure in reverse.
c. Test No. 3: Smooth Stop in 40 Feet From 20 MPH. Pavement markings and
stanchion placement should be as shown in Figure 4-3. Tell the applicant to drive between the
stanchions shown at position (A) and then stop smoothly with front bumper directly over the
limit line at position (B). Ensure that the foot brake is not applied until the front bumper passes
between the first stanchions at position (A). Deduct points for unsatisfactory performance as
shown on the score sheet.

d. Test No. 4: Backing Up to a Loading Dock. An actual loading dock is the
preferred method of testing; however a mock loading dock using stanchions may be substituted.
