My driving test in Orlando was done on a small, fenced off track within the licencing mob's carpark. The track was a rectangle with a short dead end spur exending from one of the short sides. The 'road' was marked as a single lane in each direction with stop signs at each corner.

Drive in, stop on one of the long sides, accelerate to 20mph then stop within a certain distance when the examiner says "Stop", reverse in a straight line while staying within the lane, drive nose in to a cone-marked parking position, reverse out, drive around the track & into the spur, do a 3-point turn at the end of the spur then back to the 'real' car park. End of test. Only gears used were 1st & reverse.
