    So I'm about 6 hours in to this course and it is the biggest waste of time ever. Its the CAA/AMA defensive driver/demerit point reduction course. In terms of content its pretty much on par with what I would expect 16 year olds to know when taking their driver training. I still have about 2 hours left to go.

    Revival. I'm halfway through an actual defensive driving course. Finished up the classroom portion. About to go and hit the skid pad for a while in a pickup truck.

    Its a real shame more companies don't do this type of thing it would prevent alot of preventable incidents.

    Enjoying the snow up there? I hear super test was a gong show yesterday. My buddy said screw it and got lucky following a plow truck up instead of chaining only to get to sms yard and plow that with his bumper and spent 6 hours trying to get unloaded because no one wanted to work in the snow lol
