Prime's driving test consists of three parts. If you pass all three parts on the first attempt you've scored the much coveted "trifecta."
Your trainer gets a hefty bonus when you run the table like that. If I'm not mistaken Larry will get some extra money also, but the trainer's take is considerably more.

Thanks Old School! Nicely done, Larry!

All Swift gave me for my Trifecta was an invitation to Orientation. I'm jealous!

When you get back to prime you will probably spend about four hours on the pad for two days. Ask him for reference points. If he has no clue what you are talking about take the prime shuttle to prime east and ask for "David rich or Anthony" to show you the points while others are backing. The day I was there David was training new trainers the points. Go to the testing pad at millennium and watch others. Look at which point they turn their wheel.
To pass the test there are.specific reference points.,..real world backing is completely different.
