    That was a quote from own of my CDL school instructors. I didn't think it was scary: it made sense.

    When I started out I planned to beat the statistics; but I didn't even make it a week. :biggrin_2559: Thankfully it wasn't serious.

    Maybe not a serious or reportable accident, but an "oops that was stupid!" backing into a dock or parking spot? Good chance.
