Improper backing ticket

Let's just say it wasn't a great big police car. What if it had been a small child? There is no excuse for even releasing the brake without KNOWING what is behind, beside and infront of you.

 

Alright, alright....that'll be quite enough of stooping to my level!!

 

I think it's Obama's fault.

 

If you only have a permit..... How were you driving alone?

 

Permit for rig, he was in a tow truck. From what he wrote, he has class A permit but works as a tow truck u til he get full A license. What I got anyway.

 

Why was the cop on a Private Road sitting behind you?

I am confused again.

 

First off you're not a "very experienced driver" as you state, you need to get that out of your head. Take this as a wake up call. You have a lot to learn and you might as well start learning now.

1. You need to be aware of what is around your vehicle before moving and while in motion, everytime. If you can't see a cop car behind a tow truck, how he heck are you going to see anything 75 foot behind you in a rig with no rear view mirror ?

2. no excuse for rolling backwards, that is incorrect technique. You say it only rolled back "a foot", but then again this is coming from a guy who doesn't even notice a cop car pull up behind him. Are you sure it wasn't 2 feet ? what about 5 or 10

 

I would have jumped out and asked the cop "Why did you hit me?" while you where parked.
