Buffalo Tractor Trailer Institute Instructer lost his cool today

Hate to tell you this. But even drivers education in high school. Is only to pass the test.

What you would "like" it to be. Is not the reality of what it is.

 

I did and then I got covid!!! He failed to mention he "thought" he may of had it but it's gone now but still can't taste things.
But what about how your still infectious for a few weeks after that. Well he didn't know about that.

 

I do understand what the reality is. However, at this particular school, this particular instructor is trying to do better.

 

No. He's causing confusion. Students are taught to use the cones. To be sure that they are lined up correctly. So if the training and the test cones are in different positions. It's going to make it harder to pass.

Similar to learning to make free throws from farther out. Your form will be wrong. When doing the real thing.

His intentions might be good. But his results are bad. But like it's said. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

 

It's not like learning to make free throws from farther out. It's like learning to make free throws with an actual hoop, then using a hula hoop sized one for the test. If you understand the mechanics of how to get into a 10 foot wide spot, you can easily get into a 12 foot wide spot.

And again, the OPs problem wasn't really with the size of the spot, he was annoyed at how long other students were taking to back in and how that limited his time. His anger is misdirected at the setup of the backing range instead of the poor student to equipment ratio.

 

I respectful disagree.

 

Put the cones at 12 feet and guys are still going to be taking 30 minutes to back in the spot.

Oh, and he's not reinventing the wheel. PTDI schools do the same thing.
