[QUOTE="rod, post: 1305141, member: 5382"] Even though UPS drivers are some of the most professionally trained drivers on the road another thing that helps (but you can't count on it) is old fashion "LUCK". I once met a car on a two lane road as he lost control on black ice. He was probably doing 60 mph when he crossed in front of my UPS truck sideways. I know we missed each other by a fraction of an inch. It all happened so fast that avoiding it had absolutely nothing to do with skill----it was all pure luck. Another driver at my center had an eighty+ year old gentleman walk across the road to get his mail out of the mailbox. Just as the driver pass by this guy he turned around with his mail in his hand and took a step into traffic and the car behind the UPS driver killed him deader than a doornail. Its always nice to have the "Luck Gods" on your side. [/QUOTE]
