What were your top 3 things you sucked at/fears/things you didnt like doing/etc
For me, right now its in no particular order:
Downshifting/anything to do with shifting.
Pulling into what are to ME 'tight' spots (Fuel Isles are 'narrow' to me still.)
The apparent magnet my tandems have for 4 wheelers to hover there.

Well I am not driving yet but I know there are alot of things I am terrified of already lol. Top 3 are:
Driving between barricades.
Shifting in general (never driven anything non-automatic).
Backing into someone. -
I share your magnet Dragon... Even with "Student Driver" all over the truck I found more than one 4 wheeler stuck behind me. Only reason I knew they were there was their shadow.
Meeting oncoming trucks on a narrow 2 lane still bothers me.
As cruel as it sounds having the courage to run over someones pet and not slam on the brakes. -
Last one is a good one, I still HONESTLY dont know if I can do it, a deer? #### it, its paste, because ill be doing highway speeds, but 25-30 in residential? I might try. I wont swerve I dont think but..stop? Yeah.
And for someones KID? Bet your ### I'll plant the truck into a pole before I hit another human. I would rather risk my life (Ditch, guard rail, etc) Than hit someones child.Ranger_309 and l<enny Thank this. -
I have done the Barricades, thats not too bad, I have yet to have any oncoming trucks yet -
Human life -- I'll smack the tree.. I lost a point on my road test because some lady yacking on her cell phone caused me to hit the brakes hard.angeleyesinfl Thanks this. -
It's actually really simple & nothing to be scared of.
As for running over someones pet... You'd do that to! I have ran over dogs who were on a death wish in towns & just recently hit a dog on I-70 because the owner thought it would be a good idea to pull over on the shoulder to let the pooch go wee weeeee.... -
I actually wanna own some land near some farms to have people hunt on and kill them nice corn fed deer and charge a 'tax' to be allowed to hunt on my land that I get some meat, I hate hunting, love deer. -
Icy Roads, they've got some of the best out there. Slip Sliding Away............Slip Sliding Away............Good Song. Can't remember who sung that. Anybody recall the artist?
Marksteven Thanks this. -
