Shut up, I can make it

^^^^^LOL

I remember the first time I made a mistake with my trainer. I took an exit to what I thought was a truck stop but was just a gas station. I drove past the gas station and was on a country back road. It was truck approved as it had truck weight limit signs (50 ton iirc). My trainer looked over at me and said "well you screwed up, what are you going to do now?". I said I'm gonna drive this road until I come to a spot I can turn around. This is obviously a road trucks drive on so something will appear. 8 miles later it did. He was impressed I didn't freak out. I quoted him a line from the movie dune, which he never saw, "fear is the mindkiller", don't panic, be calm, and think it out. I have missed my share of turns and there is always a way out even if it means backing up a ways. But never make it worse by doing something stupid like pictured above.

Yessir...as long as I see dual ruts, square-shaped trees, etc., I know there's somewhere to turn around. I've had to go nearly 20 miles one-way, but I got turned around. Pissed, but turned around!
