Exercise 4 - Reverse Offset Backing

You will demonstrate your ability to offset back and park a vehicle at the end of an alley. Starting parallel with the outer boundary, offset back into the alley, bringing the rear most part of your vehicle (other than unique vehicle parts higher than the door mirrors, such as a bucket truck) within three (3) feet of the rear of the alley.

Stop with the rear most part of the vehicle (other than unique vehicle parts) in the three (3) foot box at the end of the alley.

Your examiner will point out the rear most part of your vehicle when giving instructions for this exercise.

Your vehicle must be straight within the alley when completed. Your vehicle must be completely within the defined exercise boundaries when completed (other than mirrors or other unique vehicle parts higher than the door mirrors, such as a bucket truck). You may not go beyond the outer boundary line (See Figure 12M.4 in the section 12M-4)

You will be scored for pull-ups, encroachments and final position.

You are allowed two (2) free pull-ups and may exit the vehicle a maximum of two (2) times to check around the vehicle during this exercise.

When you have completed the exercise, set your parking brake, shift to neutral and sound your horn. This will inform the examiner you have completed the exercise and allow them to score your final position.
