[QUOTE="MassWineGuy, post: 1213861, member: 44554"] If you're a regular driver and don't know this stuff, then yes, I'd guess that UPS will be glad to give you the information. The 10 Points kind of blend in with some of the Five Seeing Habits, but they are distinct. During my week of training in a huge hub there were two accidents. In one, the guy driving the brownie said he got too focused on watching the cop on road detail giving him directions. He looked left and right, but not left again, and a Jeep slammed into him. The other involved a semi-tractor trailer feeder. Here, the driver was paying attention, looking 12 seconds down the road and was able to see a car crossing the yellow line and coming at him. He hit the horn and brakes, and steered toward the shoulder. Instead of hitting head-on, the car hit the side of the trailer, which is a much better place to slam into a truck and survive. [/QUOTE]
