Second time on a truck on crowded city streets, very scary does the fear go away, or should I quit if it doesn't go away.
Does the fear of hitting and/or killing something/someone go away?

Honestly i never had that fear. Most likely that is your instincts telling you youre way in over your heae and could kill someone.
Tonitos and Raiderfanatic Thank this. -
When I'm parked I get nervous until I have trucks parked on both sides

Stress and pressure, it should go away. It sounds more like jitters, new teenage drivers are nervous too. If you never get comfortable then look for something else, but you cant get lazy about it. I run local to construction sites, the university jobs are the worst. #### collage kids come out of nowhere, and dont look.

Best to maybe work out of the Denver area, that way, your only concern will be your brakes smoking more than I do with my cigars.Vilhiem Thanks this. -
If the fear keeps you from focusing on everything else we have to focus on, then you're better off not behind the wheel.
Fear isn't a bad thing, but too much of anything...well, you should know that tale.
The day you can climb into the driver's seat and not worry or even have the tiniest fear of hitting someone or thing should be the day you turn in your keys.
My fears and worries keep me cautious, but they don't cripple me.Freightshaker613, BrenYoda883, Mudfin and 3 others Thank this. -
You may have the skill on crowded streets, tight roads, open highways....but you need 1 thing, common sense and you will be fine

Hint 2: it has nothing to do with the bird perched on the hood.
Hint 3: if you see a bird perched on the hood, hand in your keys and say no to drugs.Last edited: Jul 3, 2015
