[barnyard]

Famous last words.

Most of us are good enough drivers

you cant tell me you wouldn't be able to back up long distance we just get used to trucks and the use of our mirrors

if you think you couldn't do it then you shouldn't be driving, because someday when you turn into 300 yard drive and the school bus and Rv and tractors and snowmobiles and cutsomer junkyard cars prevent you from turning around what would you do call sup and have him or her come out and back it out for you.

So i am just saying i know i could do it if i had to and i have done it because i had to

I've done it. I also know that I would get charged with an accident if a wheel left the driveway, left a rut and the owner called it in. The over-confidence is what will cause an accident.

I also know these these things and do not feel over confident but confident in my abilities.

i am not being cocky

by you saying i am over confident than you are saying i have more confidence than ability

i said if i had to i could do it

should i go into it thinking i can't do it.

so if i am overconfident then you don't have enough confidence in your ability.

I am not arguing with you i am giving you my opinion

I could show you a half a dozen driveways that are a quarter to a half mile long. You won't yell at me if my SPH goes down while I'm out for stroll in the wood will you? It's NOT always as cut and dried as management would like to believe.

In todays world as fanatical as we have become about accidents you're better off walking it or will calling it.

 

[backinbrown]

i would agree but i know they would give me a hard time if i brought back because driveway was too long, mayby i am wrong

Broken mirrors are accidents if it is caused by a branch of something like that (in my center.) I broke 2 while adjusting, replaced, no accident.

TB

Don't they ALL break while adjusting them!!

 

[scratch]

Don't they ALL break while adjusting them!!

Thats what happened with all of mine. Not that I would do this, but I have heard of drivers attempting to adjust them using tree branches.......

this is also good technique for cleaning sides of truck on rainy days

We were told that if we used a phone while driving we'd be charged with an accident, and a tier 3 if it was in an intersection. Sure enough they fired a driver last week when a division manager saw him on the phone while driving through an intersection. Wonder if the center was charged 36K or whatever the figure for a tier 3 is.

They are doing a backing campaign here in South New England.

We are told - DO NOT USE RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAYS

Walk everything off, unless you KNOW there is a turnaround at the house

The telematics show all backing distances you do during the day. They will talk to you if they catch you backing down a driveway 200 - 300 feet. Unless of course it is approved by management, which doesn't happen.

Is it against the law to talk on a cell phone while driving in Maryland?
