step five
The load is removed from the high stack and the truck is reversed all the way through the chicane to the start point.
{This additional run through the chicane was introduced in 2000)
Now the truck is driven forwards once more.
Please note. This test works on a penalty point system. There are three categories of fault as follows:
- Minor faults, penalty = 1 point
- Medium faults, (e.g. gentle touches of the course etc), penalty = 3 points
- Serious faults, (e.g.. reversing without looking), 5 points
Scoring more than 40 penalty points results in failure of the practical test
