Sending GOAL isn't going to prevent the suspension. They consider all backing accidents to be preventable, thus all backing accidents lead to punishment.Click to expand...
On a quick side note regarding Jonestown terminal, requested directions on qualcomm to the place, none of the 3 streets leading up to it (on the directions) including the street it is on, came up on my GPS so I gave up trying to find the place lol, Ended up driving by the Army base though and enjoyed seeing all the weapons of war on display.Click to expand... -

This is funny that you guys do that when the Swift academy will not let you goal when you're backing. Or at least that is the way Milington was.

Thats because in Millington all you will hit is a cone and for your state test you either can't get out or can goal a limited number of times. In the real world you really don't want to clip the fender of that nice long nose Pete next to. Hell for my CDL test I had to keep the window up even and could not even stick my head out the window to look, mirrors only.
Of course the way Gary acts about his cones you would think it was a Pete you just backed into -

*sigh*
Millington teaches you to use your mirrors because that is what state testers require. They get you ready to pass your CDL test. Additionally, it is a closed course. Backing in the "real world" is not a closed course and there is no state tester sitting beside you. So, GOAL.BigShrek72, 48Packard and inkeper Thank this. -
I believe it must be state by state. In AZ, we were allowed to get out of the truck and check. In fact when I tested, I didn't and the tester told be afterwards he was surprised I didn't.
