    I've had 4wheelers dart behind me up on the sidewalk to get around while I was making an alley back from a street or any other similar maneuver.

    They don't have patience. They don't pay attention. They , for the most part , don't care. They are like butterflies flitting around from one flower to the next.

    G.O.A.L. is wonderful.... in theory.

    It still takes time to walk back to the tractor and begin your back. A whole lot can happen in that time frame.

    If you did every thing you were supposed to do (sounds like it to me ) then hold your chin HIGH and tell that to safety on Monday , and be adamant about it. Do not waiver from that stance or it'll show doubt.

    Contrary to the officers theory , we don't have spotters stored in our glove boxes to whip out and use for every circumstance.

    This is the REAL WORLD.
