How many cones are used during the serpentine driving skill?

• A. One
• B. Two
• C. Three
• D. Four

Answer: (C)

Serpentine driving is about guiding the vehicle through a tight zigzag around fixed cones, testing precise steering and speed control. Three cones create that clear left-right-left (or vice versa) weaving pattern, so you must continuously adjust steering as you pass each cone. This setup gives enough challenging steering changes without making the course overly long or complex. A single cone wouldn’t form a serpentine path, and four cones would extend the course beyond the standard size, so three cones is the typical, correct setup.
