True/False: Time starts when the ICC truck is oriented at the marker stake and the command 'Halt vehicle'.

• A. Not Specified
• B. N/A
• C. FALSE
• D. TRUE

Answer: (C)

Time starts when movement begins, not when the vehicle is simply aligned or halted. The clock should begin at the moment the start signal is given and the ICC truck starts moving, because timing is meant to capture the duration of the actual travel. Being oriented at the marker stake is just a setup/positioning step, and the command to halt is a stop instruction, not the trigger to start timing. So the statement is false—the timer starts with the first movement after the start cue, and ends when the vehicle comes to its finish or stop condition.
