[QUOTE="Ashell, post: 1276732, member: 23726"] I have a bid in for FT Driver and they gave me a copy of this. I understand learning defensive driving practices, but these just seem ridiculous. When I took drivers ed, I was super cautious. Basically the guy told me, if you are going forward you don't have to worry about what is behind you. If you are in a dense city I totally understand scanning the whole area to look for pedestrians, but if I'm cruising down the high way I just need to maintain distance and look for an out. It just seems to me they simplified defensive driving to the point of being overly complicated. Anyone at my hub will tell you I driving like an old man. They get pissed off getting stuck behind me going into the hub. I guess I don't see how memorizing these is going to help. Especially if they are not done in practice. Who counts 3 second after a stop in practice? Sure, just doing it would be less stress, but I just have a terrible memory. I have to use a cheat sheet just for the CHSP test every month. Can they really DQ me for not knowing these word for word? [/QUOTE]
