    I just wrap the seat belt around the Johnny bar to check the break lights

    Saw a fairly newbie female driver do something wonderful. If a man tried to help her tarp or gave any advice, she quickly let them know she doesn't need any help from any man. She decided to sneak around the scales, even though she was advised by a "man" that she was legal and didn't need to. As she was taking a side road, she noticed a flashing in her mirrors. She was taking down power lines and even ripped the meters off some houses. Very humbling experience for her trying to find a new job.

    we have all done something dumb at one time or another. as long as you learn from it and don't hurt anyone or anything it's all good. I tried taking off from a light with the truck in high range held up traffic for 2 lights. before I realized waht was going on and then I felt like an idiot ! oh well !
