Traffic Check(s) — When performing an exercise it is important to check traffic prior to entering or exiting a roadway. You must make sure that it is safe to perform the exercise and that the roadway is clear in both directions before entering back into traffic or leaving the exercise area. You should turn your head to check traffic to the sides and rear and to check side and rearview mirrors. If you are testing in a car that has back-up or side -view cameras, you will have to check those too. You will be scored if you do not use traffic checks during the exercises. Inside 12" Curb Line — Your vehicle must be completely in the parking space and both of the vehicle's tires have to be inside the 12" curb line. If your vehicle is not within the 12" curb line when you have finished the exercise, it will be counted as an error. Final Position/Completed Exercise — It is important that you finish each exercise exactly as the examiner has instructed you. If you cannot complete an exercise; or do not maneuver the vehicle into its final position as described by the examiner, points will be added to your score. Applicant must maintain a 6` distance, speak loudly and project your voice as needed for the examiner to hear them.
