    Well to be fair, i still have that happen to me every once in awhile. The mistake i made then was not changing lanes, it was over correcting to much to avoid hitting the a hole... If u ahve ever driven in phx ppl are some of the craziest drivers in the country, if u arent doing 30 over ur going to slow, ppl constantly change lanes into other ppl all the time in front my truck now

    My first driving lesson started at age 7 or 8 on dads lap in his squad car. By the time he was ready to let me loose on the highway I had about 8 years of him and my uncle teaching me and had 2 years of running a triaxel out of the coal mine down the mountain to my unkles favorite breakfast stop.

    You have 44 hours from pick up delivery. 19.5 hours driving time, 10 hours sleeper in between driving shifts. That would leave enough for another 8 hour sleeper before delivery and a 2 hour break while they unload.

    Best thing is go karts for kids, by the time they are 16 they have a small understanding and foot hand eye coordination.

    Actually, when I look around at how the parents drive its kind of scary. Ever hear that saying the blind leading the blind?
