Straight-line backing — two free pull-ups

The examiner is not impressed by speed.

Idle reverse. Catch drift early. Two pull-ups and two get-out-and-looks are usually free. A cone is not. This is the first maneuver at the Fort Worth yard. We don't rush you. 20 hours behind the wheel. Reserve from the site — deposit in person.

Speed does not impress the examiner. Idle reverse, catch drift early, use the two free pull-ups and GOAL looks.
