    G.O.A.L. that is the best thing to do whether you have been driving for 20+ years or 2 months. You get out and take a look in some situations to get a clearer picture. When I did training I would watch my students back into a spot and observe and see if they got out and looked. It's simple just take a few minutes to GOAL. Save you less headaches and paperwork......

    It's the only way you can see what you can't see. It's like driving down the road with your eyes closed. I like to see what I am doing.

    It tickles me to watch someone that guesses when they are backing. They have that certain look of confusion on their face. Stop looking stupid and GOAL! :)

    The ones that don't GOAL in a challenging spot are just plain lazy.But they spend 5 times as long backing in that spot rather then taking a few extra seconds to get out and observe the situation.
