i don't have neighbors with kids, or dogs or cats.
i have squirrels, stray cats and the occasional alligator..all of which will die, if i run over them.
as far as rookie drivers, as it is now, they rely too much on gizmos, rather than to GOAL, and they seemingly have no ethics when they do crash into something, and take off.
Is advanced technology making backing a truck easier?

And in that game, no customer tells me what to do when I'm docking the trailer. I have nine different camera views in the game too. I can actually get out of the truck and view it from the outside while backing it. I understand the basic concept of trailer backing: steer the truck in the opposite direction you want the arse-end of the trailer to go. If you want the arse of the trailer to go right, steer left and vice-versa.

What would be cool. Is if we had top view. Like what cars have.
D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
Look Ma, no camera.

Good for you, I had the basic principle of backing down when I was 5. Almost none of what you do, see, or anything in that video game is anything like real life, it's like playing Call of Duty and thinking you could survive if thrown onto a battlefield.

I find it hilarious anybody thinks their going to be able to play video games and apply it to real life and have it end well.
