Do you mean Float? Straddles are called immediately when they happen regardless of what happens before or after |

answer:Gate Straddle 10 pts & driver continue confusion: I thought if this happens and the driver reverses without any contact with the marker or complete progress of the gate, the penalty is not given. then the driver can proceed through the gate for progress an no penalty(except the -1 for reverse). question:The driver straddles a previously progressed gate with the front axle. answer: Call a gate penalty confusion: I thought this only counted if the truck makes contact to the marker since the gate has been previously cleared. So if I understand now: As long as a truck straddles a gate(contact to the marker or not), whether it has been cleared or not accumulates a penalty? |
This one doesn't make sense to me. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...JudgesTest.jpg If the vehicle is rocking back and forth that means it is going forward and backwards even though the ground is not moving at a significant amount doesn't mean a reverse isn't taking place, right? I thought the only time there was a change to the way a reverse is called is when upside down (more then 90 degrees) and in that case no reverse is called. Another way to think about this if the rig is stuck in a crack and I reverse, forward, reverse forward and the vehicle doesn't move alot... Why would each reverse not be called? If each reverse assists in the vehicle getting unstuck why are they not all called? |
I think it's worded so that if you reverse and then hit forward and no forward movement is gained and you attempt to reverse again it doesn't count as a second reverse because no forward progress was made. In a written test format it's kinda ify, but you really have to take what it says and not read into it too much. |

Look at a seesaw when it is up the end is farther away from when it is down. Therefore it is technically moving "forward" although it is in a fixed position. |

Last time I seen a see-saw, it never moved from that playground. It has never once made any forward movement towards the picnic shelter in the past 20 years it has been there. |

Your confusing a straddle and a float... Straddle = tires on ground = any time you drive over a marker, it is a penalty. Float = tire in air..is not a penalty.. This would only result in a penalty when you are progressing a gate. Then the reason for the penalty would be that yo did not have 4 tires between the markers when you progressed |

Does that make sense? |

while driving to gate 6 you drive over the top of gate 4 but you physically dont touch the gate, not even the little fuzzies .......... all 4 wheels touching the ground you get a straddle/gate penalty ? |

Good Test Even learned something http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/...rian%20Doughty That was a good quiz, even learned something. A driver has just progressed gate 3 and is at 0 points thus far. Headed towards gate 4 the truck takes a tumble down the hill and progresses gate 5 and hits gate 6. What is the drivers score and the reasoning? Gate penalty on 6 doesn't count because they went through gate 5 the wrong way. Clock and points are immediately stopped. |
Is the test site down been trying to get into it for a while but wont bring up any questions |

Same for me. It lets me enter my name, but when the first question is supposed to come up it just says submit my answer. No question. |
Not working right now. Same as what he ^ said. :cry: |

Personally I prefered the rules from 2007.:) It also seems that this interpretation of the reverse rule violates the intent rule... |

Eh....grammer check this one: A driver's truck fall into a ditch, and must be repositioned. While returning to the previous gate cleared he notices the battery is out. Its ok to allowing to tuck the battery back in off the clock if they do it before they get back to the previous cleared gate. "thumbsup" |
