Bull's-eyes and New Bay Test in LDOY Final Contest
Page 27

AS well as the familiar kerb parking and width-judgment tests there will be a new version of the loading-bay lest and a completely new"bull's-eyes" test in the final competition of the Lorry Driver of the Year contest at Brameote, near Nuneaton, on Sunday, September 12.
In the revised bay test (illustrated here), drivers will have to demonstrate judgment of frontal clearance as well as rear-end positioning. The instructions require drivers to start from line AA and to drive forward as near to barrier BB as possible without touching it, and then reverse as close as possible to barrier DD. Three forward shunts are permitted during the reversing section, with proportionately greater penalties.
The entirely new test (also shown diagrammatically) requires drivers to start from line AA and stop with the nearside front wheel as near as possible to the centre of target C, then reverse to stop with the rearmost nearside wheel at the centre of target D. A wheel on the line incurs the next highest penalty. For a "bull" there is no penally, an outer first scores two penalties on target C (and one on target D), an outer second rates six (three), outer third 12 (six) and outer fourth 24 (12 on 1)).
