Strange or bizarre tips for drivers

This sure is a long thread
So I will maybe post this again
My brothers SNI trainer used to draw a small map on the inside of the windshield, showing the after leaving the highway directions to his destination

 

I will stick with northern AZ. The only BZZZZZ we hear is an occasional bee or fly.

 

On NO!
I had a trainee try to do that.
I stopped him pronto.
He told me that one of the instructors at orientation gave that advice,
and told the trainees to report any trainer that wouldn't let that happen.

I didn't let it happen!

I LOVE clean glass -- inside and outside.
I HATE cleaning glass -- ESPECIALLY inside.

See where I'm goin' with this?

When I mentioned that would just scream
TRAINEE ON BOARD
and if he insisted, I had a
DANGER
STUDENT
DRIVER
sign I could tape to the trailer.
And mentioned I heard that suggestion from the top.
But I didn't mention it was off the top of my head.
HeY!
WhatEVER.
It worked.

It's twue!
It's twue!

 

I've used dry wipe markers to write on the inside of the driver's window in emergencies, quickly write the registration number of a vehicle before you call the police on him. Only when time doesn't allow other means.

 

That was before GPS
His trainer was a million miler
Besides you liking a clean window is there any other reason your against it???
Sure you would have to train your eye to look past and on the road, but once you got used to it I think its an interesting idea
Plus its not like your going to draw all that huge a map

 

Shux Howdy!
I'm talkin' before Qualcom -- back when all we had was the old Trip-Master tattletale and International 9700's were NEW.

Clean glass was the main reason.

It may be an interesting idea, but none of my trainers would allow it for the reason you mentioned -- TRAINEES tended to be mesmerized by what was written on the glass and it was hard to tell if they were watchin' the road, or readin' the writin' on the inside of the windshield.

If they wanted to do that AFTER I released them and they were on their own -- more power to them. But I noticed that even then, they didn't do it.

Instead, they continued to do it the way I showed them --- a felt-tipped pen and a legal pad on a clipboard. Easy and quick to read, and I could tell when they were readin' and when they were watchin' the road ahead.

The clipboard was on the doghouse.
I don't allow ANYthing on the dash EVER.

However, I have no objections if anybody wants to write on their OWN windshield if they want to. Just not on MY windshield.

Like I keep tellin' y'all ......................
I'm a baaadd man ------->

 

A lot of farmers use dry erase markers and write on their windshield's........ very common site around here......... I think it's a great idea.........

 

Most of the farmer's round here just write on the hood or fender in the dirt or dust with there finger

 

Very true!

But we also have a lot of dairy farmers here too............ not so sure they want to write in the "dust" on their trucks!!

 

It's just about all dairy here as well, Most have cleaner barns and milk houses than there trucks will ever be!!
