I denna övning är det bäst med koner med käppar i så att föraren får ta hänsyn till att backspeglarna inte ska ta i.

Notes to answerer
Asker: That's what I originally thought, but based on other context, I had questions.: Detta för att ge föraren en tydligare bild om var fordonet kan ta i. Föraren ska via de yttre backspeglarna uppmärksamma hur det bakre överhänget påverkar omgivningen vid sväng utan att för den skull tappa kontrollen på bussens hörn och backspeglar, de kan ju också ta i.
