City Driving

Nope, not by far. The hardest thing is BACKING!
Now the most stressful is city driving.

 

I can't say that city driving is THE hardest thing but it sure can be a PIA at times. It takes a great deal of concentration to look for the street, avenue, alleyway, driveway all without running something or someone over in the process.

Roads get renamed over time, some get redirected as one-ways, some are no trucks, a few low bridges etc.

Roads get very narrow & sometimes require blind siding in off the street. Navigation room can be very tight depending on the customers required loading/unloading procedures & locations. You might be backing a 1/4mi down an alley/driveway, across a main road, blind siding into a dock that you can't even see because it's around a corner of a building. There's so many different obstacles & odd docking arrangements in a city.

One just does their best to not scratch the paint, bend any metal or kill anyone...especially yourself.

 

..like L.A. (4 hrs rush hr!), can wear out your left knee from having to clutch constantly. Try to stay in 2nd gear and just creep---once moving, can float (no clutch) gears!
