    It was a..I don't know what word to say, frightening, exiting, video. The swifty went real slow up the exit ramp. I was waiting for a car to come flying off and hit him head on. The trainer or student exits the vehicle at the top of the ramp. To stop traffic or something..It doesnt work. When the driver gets a chance, he pulls a u-turn, real slow...does he make it. Barely. Then you see the guy who got out of the truck chase after it lol

    Ok I am starting to feel a little better about my driving now.

    Getting in to the exit ramp I could understand if it was dark... but in plain day light, wow.

    Saw a Prime truck north of Atlanta sitting on the shoulder facing the wrong direction and surrounded by cops about 4 or 5 years ago. In his defense (if I can call it that), he was drunk. At least that's what was being reported on the CB.

    it takes time you'll get it.the main thing is you do slow down when yoire about to enter a ramp rather then trying to make that perfect shift.

    Stop pushing the clutch in all the way,or learn to float gears.main reason for grinding gears is engaging the clutch brake.
