It is a requirement that drivers have to demonstrate that he or she
can get out of the vehicle within a set limited time!

This is done so that in the event of an accident the driver can vacate the
vehicle in plenty of time.

The driver has to do this test from their normal driving position while also wearing seat restraints.
It is sometimes done while the driver's visor is covered so he cannot see!
This is done to simulate the dense smoke that in the event of a fire might surround the driver and effect visibility.
