INTERMEDIATE TRAINING OBJECTIVE 2
DRIVER'S PERFORMANCE TEST (ROAD TEST) INSTRUCTIONS
1. GENERAL.
a. This test is to be conducted according to the guidelines set forth in AR 600-55. Also, the specific directions for this test are to be followed without deviation. No omissions or changes in the wording of these directions are permitted.
b. The purpose of the road test is to evaluate the driver's ability to drive safely in most on-the-road situations. It serves as the basis for the issuance of an operator's permit and provides a means for instructional reinforcement and counseling. Driving weaknesses that surface as a result of the test should be called to the attention of the examinee so that specific steps can be taken to eliminate these weaknesses.
c. Final evaluations will be recorded on DA Form 348 (or ULLS generated DA Form 348-E). Once this transfer of information has been accomplished, the completed DA Form 6125-R will be destroyed.
d. The examiner will be a thoroughly qualified operator of the MTV cargo truck. Furthermore, he will be familiar with the road test route and the testing procedures as set forth in AR 600-55 and this TC. Before administering the test to any examinees, he must practice administering the test to a regular licensed driver qualified on the MTV cargo truck. This practice administration will help him become acquainted with the test route and testing procedures.
NOTE: Operators trained in trailer operations will perform these tests with the trailer connected to the vehicle.
e. The road test will consist of three scored phases: the PMCS test, the vehicle control test, and the on-the-road driving test. The driver will be tested on these phases in the order listed and will not move on to the next phase until successfully passing the previous phase. If the driver fails any phase of the test, the entire road test will be terminated at that point and the examiner will annotate the DA Form 6125-R and conduct an AAR with the driver. This procedure will help to ensure that only safe and proficient drivers get behind the wheel of the MTV cargo truck.
2. SETTING UP THE ROAD TEST. For the road test the driver drives a predetermined route. To set up the test, the examiner must plan the route to be used. Once a route is established (in a given locality) it should be used for all examinees that are to be tested in the MTV cargo truck. Should it prove necessary to vary the route, care should be taken that the different kinds of route requirements, as well as the number of requirements, remain the same. Every road test route will meet the following requirements (to the extent possible):
a. An area to conduct PMCS.
(1) The site should be a flat parking area suitable for heavy vehicles.
(2) There should be at least 8 feet of open space around the vehicle. This will give the driver room to conduct the inspection and the examiner room to observe the driver's inspection performance.
(3) The site should be quiet enough that the examiner can hear the driver explain what he is doing during the inspection.
(4) Avoid using a parking space on a street or any place where traffic is passing close by.
b. A vehicle control test area with the following maneuvers:
(1) Forward stop (see Figure 6-5). Pull vehicle forward through a straight alley and then stop the vehicle so that the front-most part of the vehicle is within 2 feet of the forward stop line.
(2) Straight-line backing (see Figure 6-5). Back the vehicle through a straight alley and then stop the vehicle so that the front-most part of the vehicle is within 2 feet of the stop line.
(3) Right turn (see Figure 6-6). Drive the vehicle forward about 30 to 50 feet, and then turn the vehicle right around a cone or other point. Bring the rear tires of the vehicle within 18 inches from the cone without touching it.
(4) Alley dock (see Figure 6-7). Pull the vehicle forward past the alley, keeping the alley entrance on the left. Back in a curved path into the alley without touching the sides, and stop the rear of the vehicle within 2 feet of the stop line at the rear of the alley.
c. On-the-road driving test with the following maneuvers:
(1) Eight left turns and eight right turns. Include turns at traffic lights, stop signs, and uncontrolled intersections. The turns should range from easy to somewhat difficult for a heavy vehicle. Get a mixture of types of intersections so that they vary in complexity.
(2) A straight section of urban business streets. The section should be 1 to 2 miles long with moderate traffic density. It should contain through intersections and intersections with traffic lights. Try to get a section where the driver can make lane changes somewhere along the route. The section should be one that lets the examiner see how the driver copes with traffic in a typical business area.
(3) Two through intersections and two intersections where a stop has to be made. If possible, these intersections should be included in the urban section.
(4) Two railway crossings. Try to get at least one uncontrolled crossing. The crossing should have enough sight distance for the examiner to see if the driver makes head search movements when approaching each crossing. The driver's attempt to look left and right down the track will often be the only way to tell if the driver noticed the crossing. If the area does not have any railway crossings, simulate this exercise.
(5) Two curves, one to the left and one to the right. Try to get curves tight enough to produce noticeable off-tracking.
(6) A two-lane rural or semirural road. This section should be about 2 miles long. If there is no rural road near the motor pool, an industrial street with few entrances and a higher speed limit is a good substitute. An undeveloped suburban road is another good substitute. In general, use any road that has characteristics similar to a rural road.
(7) A section of expressway. The section should start with a conventional ramp entrance and end with a conventional ramp exit. The section should be long enough for the MTV cargo truck to make two lane changes. A section of four-lane highway can be used if there is no expressway available.
(8) A downgrade. The grade should be steep enough and long enough to require gearing down and braking. A steep short hill is the next best choice if a long grade cannot be found. If the local area does not have any steep grades, simulate this exercise.
(9) An upgrade. The grade should be steep enough and long enough to require gear changing to maintain speed. A steep short hill is the next best choice if a long grade cannot be found. If it is hard to find steep grades in the local area, use the same grade for both the downgrade and the upgrade.
(10) A downgrade for stopping. This is a grade where a vehicle can safely stop (or pull off) and park for a minute or so. The grade needs only to be steep enough to cause a vehicle to roll if the driver does not park properly. If the local area does not have any steep grades, simulate this exercise.
(11) An upgrade for stopping. This is another grade where a vehicle can safely stop and park for a minute or so. If needed, use the same grade as was used for the downgrade stop.
(12) One underpass or low clearance and one bridge. The underpass should have a posted clearance height. The bridge should have a posted weight limit. If the local area does not have underpasses or bridges with posted limits, use ones that do not have posted limits. If needed, substitute a bridge for an underpass or an underpass for a bridge. If the local area does not have any low clearances or bridges, look for places that have signs an MTV driver should see. Examples of such signs are "No Commercial Vehicles after 11:00 PM" or "Bridge with 12 Ton Weight Limit in 2 Miles."
d. Route design.
(1) When designing a route, try to include all of the specified maneuvers. If there is not an ideal example for a maneuver, find the closest substitute. Do not drop a maneuver because there is not an ideal example of it. The important thing is to have a route that tests the driver in as wide a variety of situations as possible.
(2) There is no minimum length for a route and no minimum amount of time that a route must take. A route is acceptable whenever it has all the specified maneuvers. It is a good idea to have at least two routes available so that there is an alternate route if construction or traffic prevents using the primary route.
3. ADMINISTERING THE ROAD TEST.
a. Preventing accidents.
(1) Road tests should normally NOT be given if road or weather conditions present a hazard such as ice, snow, rain, or blowing dust. The exception is when testing is specifically for driving under such conditions.
(2) The examiner must always watch traffic conditions and warn the examinee of dangers that he may not see. If the driver becomes involved in a dangerous or unlawful moving traffic incident or an accident, terminate the test immediately. The examiner will drive the vehicle back to the start point once on-scene responsibilities are fulfilled.
b. Beginning the road test.
(1) Fill in the driver's name and your name (examiner's) on the front of the Road Test Score Sheet. (A sample of a completed DA Form 6125-R is at Figures 7-1 and 7-2.) A reproducible DA Form 6125-R is located at the back of AR 600-55. Read the following instructions to the driver at the beginning of the test:
DURING THE ROAD TEST, I WILL GIVE YOU DIRECTIONS AS WE GO ALONG.
I WILL ALWAYS GIVE DIRECTIONS FOR TURNS, AND SO ON, AS FAR IN ADVANCE AS POSSIBLE.
THERE WILL BE NO TRICK DIRECTIONS TO GET YOU TO DO SOMETHING ILLEGAL OR UNSAFE.
KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS IN CHARGE OF THE VEHICLE. DO NOT FOLLOW A DIRECTION IF IT TURNS OUT AT THE LAST MINUTE TO LEAD TO AN UNSAFE ACT.
AS WE GO ALONG, I WILL BE MAKING VARIOUS MARKS ON THE SCORING FORM. WHEN YOU SEE THIS, IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN YOU HAVE DONE ANYTHING WRONG. IT IS BEST FOR YOU TO CONCENTRATE ON DRIVING AND NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT I AM DOING.
YOUR SCORED TEST BEGINS WITH BEFORE-OPERATIONS PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES. IF YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL IN THAT PORTION OF THE TEST, YOU WILL PROCEED TO THE VEHICLE CONTROL TEST, AND FINALLY TO THE ON-THE-ROAD DRIVING TEST.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
(2) The road test actually begins when the driver starts his before-operations PMCS. If the driver performs the PMCS to appropriate standards, the examiner will annotate in the Notes section of the DA Form 6125-R "Before-operations PMCS satisfactory." If he does not perform PMCS to the examiner's satisfaction, the examiner will stop the road test at that point and fail the driver. In this situation, the examiner will annotate "Before-operations PMCS unsatisfactory" in the Notes section, list specific deficiencies if any, and refer the driver for further training. The examiner will follow the same procedures for grading during- and after-operations PMCS.
(3) If the driver successfully completes the before-operations PMCS, he will proceed to the vehicle control test. It is important to ensure that the driver is proficient in basic vehicle control skills before taking him on the road with other traffic.
(4) If the driver satisfactorily completes the vehicle control test, he will proceed to the driving portion of the road test. When the driver is ready, get into the vehicle with the driver and start giving directions for following the road test route. Give the directions in this form: At the (location), make (maneuver). For example, "At the next intersection, turn right," or "At the stop sign, turn left."
(5) If necessary, give combined directions. For example, "Immediately after you complete your right turn, you will have to turn left into that road over there."
(6) Avoid using commercial signs or buildings as landmarks for directions unless there is no alternative. Do not assume that the driver is familiar enough with the area that he knows such landmarks.
(7) Give directions well before the maneuver is to be performed. Always give a direction at a point where the driver can see where he will do the maneuver. However, give the directions close enough to the location so the driver can be sure of where to do the maneuver. For example, do not tell the driver to turn at the next intersection if there is another intersection before the one where you want the driver to turn.
(8) In addition to directions for getting the driver around the route, there are some directions to give for the expressway, urban straight, and rural sections.
(9) In general, give all directions in a way that avoids distracting the driver. Also, avoid unnecessary conversation.
4. SCORING THE ROAD TEST.
a. The scoring form for the road test is DA Form 6125-R, a two-sided single sheet. (A sample of a completed DA Form 6125-R is at Figures 7-1 and 7-2.) A reproducible DA Form 6125-R is located at the back of AR 600-55. The main headings in the boxes give the names of the different maneuvers. Each maneuver has a list of driver behaviors to be scored. Beside each behavior is a letter "O" used for marking the driver for the behavior. In cases where a maneuver is done several times on the route, there is a column of O's for each time the maneuver appears on the route.
Figure 7-1. DA Form 6125-R, Road Test Score Sheet (Front)
Figure 7-2. DA Form 6125-R, Road Test Score Sheet (Back)
b. To score a behavior, draw a stroke through the O whenever the driver's performance is unsatisfactory. Make no mark if the driver performs the behavior correctly. For each maneuver, there is a "No Errors" category at the bottom of the list of behaviors. There is a space beside "No Errors" where you can put a check mark if the driver is satisfactory on all behaviors. These check marks will show that you scored the driver even if the driver made no errors.
c. The only other marking that need to be done on the test is to indicate maneuvers that were not done. A maneuver might not be done because you missed it for some reason or because there was no opportunity for it on the route. To show that a maneuver was not performed, draw a vertical line down through the entire column of O's used for marking that maneuver.
d. To score the maneuver, follow these steps:
(1) Find the maneuver on the score sheet and be ready to mark it.
(2) Check the driver and the traffic. When the driver can pay attention, give the directions for the next maneuver.
(3) Watch the driver perform the maneuver.
(4) Mark the score sheet.
e. Mark the driver's score sheet immediately after each maneuver. Do not try to remember what the driver did and mark the sheet later on in the route or back at the office.
f. The following paragraphs describe how to mark the score sheet for each type of maneuver:
(1) Stop/start on a grade. There are two columns of O's to mark: one for the upgrade stop and one for the downgrade stop. The columns are labeled "Up" and "Down." The behaviors are organized in three groups: approach, stop, and resume. Score each group separately as the driver does them. Score the approach as soon as the driver comes to a stop. Then check the stop behaviors and score them before telling the driver to continue. After the driver pulls away, score the rest of the behaviors.
(2) Expressway. Score the expressway section in three phases: merge on, lane changes, and exit. Mark each phase as the driver completes it. There are two columns of O's for the lane changes. Mark the one labeled "Left" for the lane change to the left. Mark the one labeled "Right" for the lane change to the right.
(3) Driving upgrade and driving downgrade. Driving up a grade and driving down a grade are scored separately. Observe how the driver handles the grade and score the behaviors listed. It is especially important that the driver uses the proper gear and appropriate signals and speed on grades because these can affect other traffic.
(4) General driving behavior. General behaviors such as gear changing should be marked at the end of the test. Specific actions such as traffic violations can be marked when they happen. There is also space to write notes. Use this space to make notes of things that do not fit into any scoring categories or to record any unusual events during the test. Remember to draw a vertical line through behaviors that are not graded, such as use of clutch when grading on the MTV.
(5) Turns. There are eight columns of O's on the left of the box; eight columns of O's on the right (see Figure 7-2). The columns on the left are for left turns. The ones on the right are for right turns. The columns are numbered according to the order in which the turns occur on the route. Column 1 of the left turn columns is for the first left turn on the route, column 2 is for the second turn, and so on. The first few times an examiner uses a route, it is a good idea to write the names of the locations of the turns at the tops of the columns. This will help keep track of the turns until the route is completely memorized.
(6) Railway crossing. This section has three columns for scoring. The ones labeled "1" and "2" are for actual railway crossings on the route. The one labeled "S" is for the simulated crossing. Vehicles transporting passengers or hauling hazardous cargo are required by law to stop between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest railroad crossing and take whatever actions are necessary (for example an open window) to look and listen for trains.
(7) Bridge/underpass. There is one space for marking a bridge and one for marking an underpass.
(8) Curves. There are two columns for scoring curves. The one labeled "Left" is for a curve that turns to the left. The column labeled "Right" is for a curve that turns to the right. Drivers should reduce to a safe speed before entering the curve, then maintain that speed during the curve.
(9) Urban/rural straight sections. This section has two columns. Use the one labeled "Urban" for the urban section. Use the one labeled "Rural" for the rural section. In most cases you will mark the driver when he gets to the end of the section. However, if you see the driver make an error while driving along the section, such as driving in the wrong lane, mark the error as soon as you see it. The driver should drive in the right lane if it is clear or in the center lane if the right lane is blocked or has a large volume of merging traffic.
(10) Lane changes. The column labeled "Left" is for a lane change to the left. The column labeled "Right" is for a lane change to the right. The lane changes are part of the urban section (in addition to the expressway section). Mark each lane change as soon as the driver makes it.
(11) Intersections. There are four columns for marking the driver on intersections. Columns 1 and 2 are for intersections where the driver has to make a legal stop, for example, at a traffic light or a stop sign. Columns 3 and 4 are for marking intersections that the driver goes straight through. There are two phases to marking a stop intersection, stopping and driving through. For a stop intersection, driving through items cover the time from when the driver starts off from the stop to when the driver resumes normal traffic speed. For a driving through intersection, you only mark columns 3 and 4. The urban straight section normally has more than enough intersections to score. Start scoring the intersections as soon as the examinee begins driving along the section. Score stop and through intersections in whatever order they come up in. It does not matter if an intersection with traffic lights is sometimes scored as a stop intersection and sometimes scored as a through intersection.
(12) Search, direction, and speed. Most of the grading blocks discussed above has areas for grading search, direction, and speed in addition to the other behaviors listed. These are general categories that the examiner should be monitoring through each exercise.
(13) Driver errors at nonmarking locations. Since the examiner scores at predetermined locations, there will be occasions when the driver makes an error at some place other than one of these locations. Score the error in the General Driving Behavior section of the form if appropriate. Otherwise, ignore the error. If the route has a lot of places where the examiner cannot score the driver, the route is probably inefficient. If the driver makes errors in places where the examiner does not score, the driver will likely make errors in places where scoring can be done. Do not decide where to score a driver based on when the driver makes an error. Stick to scoring at the predetermined locations.
5. COMPUTING THE DRIVER'S SCORE.
a. Road test score sheet. At the end of the test, make sure all driver and examiner information is completed. Check that everything is marked clearly and correctly. Be sure to cross out maneuvers that were not done on the test. Review the scored maneuvers for repeated errors and score errors in the general driving behavior. Carefully add the number of marked letter O's and write the total in the "Score" space on the front of the form. A passing score is 25 errors or less. The driver fails the road test if he makes 26 or more errors (errors accumulated on the vehicle control test DO NOT count toward the score on the driving portion of the road test). If the score is close to a failing score, double-check that you have added correctly.
b. Failures. Annotate reason for failure in the Notes section; for example, "Examinee exhibited undue nervousness." The following are some reasons for failures:
(1) Any unsafe driving act.
(2) Failure to properly perform PMCS.
(3) Not knowing location and function of gauges and controls.
(4) Unsatisfactory performance on vehicle control test.
(5) Undue nervousness.
(6) Failure to achieve minimum passing score.
NOTE: If the individual scores 25 errors or less, but the examiner feels that the individual needs additional training, the examiner has the right not to issue a license.
c. After-action review. Whether the driver passes or fails, the examiner will review the results of the road test with him and bring to his attention any weaknesses that require further practice or training. If the driver failed, tell him what caused him to fail. Advise him that an standard Army OF 346 cannot be issued and he will have to retake the entire performance test at a later date. Whether pass or fail, the results must be recorded on the DA Form 6125-R.
