In serpentine driving, you should drive in and out of at least how many markers?

• A. Three
• B. Four
• C. Five
• D. Six

Answer: (A)

Serpentine driving is about showing you can steer precisely through a sequence of tight turns by weaving between markers. The goal is not a single turn but a series of controlled transitions, which demonstrates you can maintain a steady line as direction changes.

Driving in and out of at least three markers gives you enough repetitions to prove you can balance speed, steering input, and line through multiple corners. It ensures you’re not relying on luck for one close pass, but that you can consistently navigate successive gaps. Keep a moderate, steady speed, look ahead to the next marker, and steer smoothly to center yourself between each pair. Hitting markers or making abrupt corrections tends to indicate a lack of consistent control through the course.

Remember, the requirement is the minimum number needed to demonstrate control; more than three is often acceptable on tougher courses, but three is the baseline that confirms you can handle multiple transitions.
