Rookies training Rookies

Double that age and I still haven't figured out why women can't put down the toilet seat ,if I forget, without ######## ! Seen 4 continents and numerous states.
Quite acting like 16 and put it down.

 

Experience has taught me, I forget....

 

My daughter knew everything at 14....

 

You don't GOAL in the middle of a triple reverse tuck with one and a half twists to try to stick the landing on the toilet seat without turning on the lights, do you?

 

LOL Psych test eh? There wouldn't be any Trainers.

 

IF you're going 80 MPH down hill, then you're going to fast to begin with. Trailer brakes or not, no difference. Not checking your brakes, another problem. This is good training material on what not to do.

Teaching new drivers and giving examples of bad behavior is no different then telling them how to do things the right way. I've dealt with rusty tandems to, this is basic stuff any driver should know or have dealt with.

I think the problem here, is everyone wants to nit pick. You don't know me, what I have or have not experienced, my level of teaching ability and what I do to help a driver succeed. Coming up with scenarios of "What do you do when your wheels fall of the trailer?" Or, "WHat do you do when a meteorite is flying towards the hood, do you swerve or brake?" You're over thinking everything.

I bring plenty, and I'm confident to get things done.

 

Never swerve. Try to slow down. Hope when you hit it, that neither flies through the windshield on your lap. That's what I would do. That may differ from your answer. But, there is nothing to really do. I was never taught by my mentor what to do besides don't swerve and keep a look out.

 

That 'trainer' did a horrible job. I've had trailers where its so low my tires are hitting the nose of the trailer. I lock the differential and bump under, no problem. I don't know how he could possibly hit the mud flaps on a trailer, that means he would be hitting the frame rail on the truck. This driver had no sense. Even if you dumped the air bags and still couldn't get under, common sense would be to get out, put the landing gear in low gear and raise it up.

This will be my last post on the matter. I'll be training, and you'll be whining. I got it. -freightlinerman out

Try again...

This is an elk by the way...



Correct answer: steer for the shoulder... if that's not an option- use your trailer brake... if that fails pull the red knob... if everything fails then take a ditch. You can't hit this thing without something very bad happening. If an elk hits your windshield you're done... and I mean R.I.P., you're a meat-kabob and chances are its gonna hit you're windshield since its antlers are pretty much even with it THEN AGAIN you might "luck out" and slow down enough to roll over it... that will only total your suspension and steering components and rupture one or both fuel tanks.

So, next question: Why shouldn't you pull the yellow knob if push comes to shove?
