Accident on my third day driving!

Dont forget to keep us in the loop. Id love ta hear how it works out for you. Good Luck.

 

That's great, I hope it works out "screamingly well" for you! Don't bother to stand on your head, just keep your truck and trailer from making physical assaults and batteries on other objects!

 

no...most of us didnt ...22 yrs, still havent....

 

guess i am just mean

 

****** let this thread be a warning to NEW DRIVERS...if YOU FEEL you are NOT READY to be on your own... TELL SOMEONE....you dont feel comfortable enough to handle it on your own. if they have any sense they will continue to let you train, ITS YOUR CDL and YOUR livelyhood....if you go alone and make a mistake, its in a sense your fault, because you didnt speak up and let them know....you risk hurting someone, equipment, property and possibly ruining your career before it ever starts...

 

Lucky you,

22 years............

Tell me Giggles, how did you get so lucky?

Let me guess, you think out your next 5-10 moves before you even have to make them.

Smart Lady there.

 

hubby has 30...there are many drivers on this site that have more than that, all without an accident....and yeah you should always be thinkin ahead , lookin ahead and plannin ahead......i am not perfect, dont claim to be....

 

Allow me to introduce myself - Mr. Nobody.

Cause Nobody is perfect, right? )

 

Funny how those who've had accidents think most have, those who haven't think most haven't. Obviously I'd like to think I'm not the only one, and that I can still become a good driver. Seeing as I am home (!) and have time on my hands, I'll research this and report back

 

Well, tough to find a study asking that particular question. Did a little back-of-the envelope analysis on the findings from a trucker sleep apnea study. Of ninety participants, 30 had had at least one accident in the previous five years. So, not most, but a significant percentage. I feel better

(P.S. Participants were a scientific sample, not just sleep apnea sufferers.)
