    You said while driving. Once you go so far it automatically kicked you back in drive. You only had to drive maybe a few minutes more.

    Exactly... Only thing it stopped was your drive clock. Your 14 was still running. The 70 stopped also.

    Got back after 12 days of driving, did 86 hours. Tested today, and passed Pretrip and Backing first try... However, i ended up impeding traffic, for being too careful. Saw some cars comming at an intersection, so i stopped for them. Turns out they had a stopsign i didn't notice at first, and got impeding traffic for it. So close to a trifecta. sadface.

    What was that old saying, "Don't have a cow about it" Students stress out about the silliest things. Your actually lucky you didn't get stuck with me, I would have set you up for spaz attack once I knew you would stress about such trivial matters.. I once told a student not to fill out his time sheet, because we would have to fudge on it, to match his qualcomm logs. Figure that one out......
