How fast does it "come back to you" after taking months off?

I took 10 years off let my cdl go then one day decided I wanted to drive again Went online took practice test went to DMV took doubles tankers air breaks combos general and smoked them. Paid a driving school 300 dollars to give me a practical driving test past first shot So point being as long as you had confidence then you will have it again I drove 5 years before I got out for ten years. You should be fine. Don't overthink it just get in there pay attention think and knock it out. Remember it's not a toy so respect it also. Focus focus focus.

 

It's like riding a bike. I took 3 years off b4 I hopped back in the saddle. It'll come back to you. No worries. Just be patient, take your time, and don't rush anything.

 

No time at all...I retired in 2011 , and earlier this year came out of retirement to help out a friend....you should have no problems...like was posted before "just like riding a bike...you never forget how"

 

Well driver, If you was horrible from the start of your career. It will only get better. None of us know you or how bad you screwed up.


family aka was not for me


Jump back in. 10 minutes later, feel the truck and ignore the passenger on road test. will do fine. stupid joke above.

 

Got a couple different cars?? Roll window up with a crank on one and push a button on the other?? One's a stick and the other's automatic? How long's it take to make that adjustment??

It's about like that but with a tweak. If you're in a habit of taking right foot from brake to accelerator, hafta remember to let the clutch out so you don't roll backwards.

After a year and a half driving only passenger car/pickup automatics, I had developed one habit (brake to accelerator) and 'forgotten' another (let clutch engage). All habits are not the same. Some matter.

 

Sorry to hear about your loss, BigD.
Don't worry brother, it all comes back to you in time. Just like riding a bike.
