Interesting take on it but let's face it, sooner or later you're going to get into some type of a situation. How you get out of it will determine whether the word professional applies or not IMO.

In the world their are currently different levels of acheivment for every aspect. Meaning their will always be people better than others at everything, that is what makes us different/special/unique.

Life is not a pass/fail enviroment yet. The general rule/standard 70-75%

You know it is kinda scarey though in some aspects.........to have a doctor perform sugery on you who might have only passed school with a 71..........LMAO.............well I guess you get the point........

They way that I avoid these kind of problems is I never get off of the interstate or highway if I do not know that I can do it safely.
I only get off if there is a truck stop, travel center, a rest area or my directions tell me to because there is a shipper or reciver that I need to go to.

I've seen guys that have been driving all their lives make mistakes.
People have bad days, its what you learn from the incidents that matters.

Hmmmmmmmm
I wonder,.............................
Can it be said that never having made a mistake
IS a mistake?

Some of my BEST lessons were a direct result of having made a mistake.
It may be a hard way to learn a lesson, but a lesson learned is just that, none the less.
And not usually soon forgotten.
Ya reckon.
