[QUOTE="jlphotog, post: 131748, member: 6986"] First piece of advice would be to follow what leftinbuilding said. Follow those rules to the letter. Know them inside out, forward and back wards. Practice them while you are driving your personal vehicle as well. If you are driving a P5, it's got a heavy clutch and standard steering. Both hands on the wheel at all possible times. (You do get used to the standard steering, but I still find myself grunting when making a tight turn.) If you are driving down a highway with ruts in the road and you need to change lanes, it is recommended to do it as gradually as possible. Know whats happening on all six sides of your PC. Basically the package cars are tin boxes on wheels. No frills or comforts in them. Don't rely on the camera. It's a good assistant, unless the sun is shining straight into it, or you are in a sun shadow combination. And keep the camera clean. Do a proper pre trip everyday. I know some drivers that don't and they always seem to have the "bad" package cars. Coincidence? I don't think so. [/QUOTE]
