Adjust your following distance. It isn’t a car. Accept that four wheelers will cut you off. Lots of insane crap happens in this job.

@Florescent-android92 you did just fine, don't be discouraged. This experience will help make you a safer and better driver. Also, in addition to learning "the go point" that I mentioned above, always expect four-wheelers to do dumb stuff.Bean Jr., Florescent-android92 and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
Just pay attention to stale green lights and be prepared to stop. Remember most car drivers are too stupid to realize it takes a truck a longer distance to stop. No reason to quit, it takes time to learn. We’ve all had close calls like that

Once a week.
You'll learn a thing or three.

I think the stupid ones that don’t realize it takes a truck much longer to stop are not the 4 wheel drivers. A lot of size 3 hats being worn in trucking.

Practice make perfect.
If you have pride in what you do and want to get better.
You'll get better.
Remember:
Anything a man can do, another man can too.
Except for the ballet. I'm not going in that direction.
