Maneuverability Coach
Ohio's driving test has two halves, and the five-marker maneuverability course is the one drivers fear — 9 feet by 20 feet, forward past the point and all the way back. Part of the full unlock.

The examiner inspects your vehicle and paperwork first. Any of these gets the vehicle rejected before you drive a foot:
- !Turn signals, brake lights, horn, windshield wipers, or headlights not working — the pre-test inspection checks all five
- !Front doors that don't open from both the inside and the outside
- !A vehicle not in good overall condition for testing
- !No TIPIC (Temporary Instruction Permit Identification Card) presented
- !Automated parking or similar assistance features left on for the skills test
⚠️ You may be disqualified during the test for…
- ✗Running over or knocking down a marker on the maneuverability course
- ✗Removing a marker from its designated area — dragging it counts
- ✗Other dangerous actions — the manual's own catch-all for either half of the test
- ✗An unsafe vehicle at inspection means the test never starts
