I would rather drive down a street like that and find nowhere to turn round knowing what obstacles i had just passed rather than reverse down a street i have not been down before
Does anyone else wish they could turn it off on the ride back to the center when its dark?
The light from the monitor really bothers me when I drive back and its dark. I liken it to having the interior light of your car on while drivng.
Why not have it shut off when the vehicle is in drive and on when the vehicle is reverse. It would save some battery power at the very least?
Or just unplug it.With ours you can turn them off; if not just turn the contrast all the way to dark. I'm not recommending this, just noting the possibilities.
Let's hope there were no Joe Theisman's, along the way.Working for UPS, is a dead end street job.
If it was a cover driver, hopefully, he or she will never attempt this again. One should never back a truck the length of a football, who do they thing they are, LT.?
And?allmost 250 posts on a ups forum......???????
It's okay, we've all done dumb things in life.i work for ups freight
How could he memorize the 10 keys of backing? t There are only Eight>Either a rookie or he didn't memorize the 10 keys to backing.
So, why are you at home while a real UPS person is working?yea i didnt say anything, didnt really have the chance to...i live on the 3rd floor and the dead end street is down the street from me, so i watched it from a distance
8 would be lifting and lowering. 10 for backing in my neck of the woods.

Reminds me of that old movie starring Jimmy Stewart,
"Rear Window".
Tagline:
Through his rear window and the eye of his powerful camera he watched a great city tell on itself, expose its cheating ways...and Murder!
I rest comfortably, knowing that you are out there protecting the innocent.
Not really,
I bet I could watch you drive on the Highways and byways of your route and point out how your actions are a danger to the public.
Physician, heal thyself.
Wow!!im injured
and yes most people dont follow all the methods, u are acting like im making a huge deal out of this im just pointing it out for the purpose of discussion
it was still a dangerous thing to do in a residential neighborhood with alot of kids
Wow!!
It is just like "Rear Window".
Jimmy in his wheelchair and snooping with his binoculars.
Happy hunting.
Take it easy, CD, I think sat is just playing with you. BTW, are you using a telephoto lens?what an idiot

Then you had better get with the plan Boy. The next Ketter audit will have you in the red.Last time I checked there were 4 keys to backing.
1. Back only when necessary. If you must back, back first and to the driver's side.
2. Before and during backing, scan the areas your vehicle will be approaching.
3. Tap your horn continually to signal your intentions.
4. Use the rear-view camera monitor as a third mirror.
11. Don't
