    I lean forward in my car, only because looking over my shoulder once resulted in me rear ending a woman. Hit her car too.

    Umnnn!!!! I read post just fine I saw 4 wheeler. Like I said I still use my mirrors. Like I said I lean forward and I look twice . A good habit is hard 2 break. AND NO I DO NOT LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER BECAUSE I USE MY MIRRORS properly . It's was summed up perfectly by another post if you are used 2 driving 18 wheels y is driving 4 any different SAME HABITS!!

    You know that poor driving habits in a 4 wheeler comes out in a truck. many drivers can't or refuse to shed bad habits like tail gating or cutting people off when they get a CDL.

    There are always city and residential streets with parked cars.

    It's much easier finding places to practice in a 4-wheelie than in a big rig.
    Just take it slow and easy, and you'll get the hang of it.

    maybe for some, im a paranoid driver and I always TRY to leave a nice distance which every other #### 4 wheeler thinks is just a spot for them to cut in front of me.


    When I got my class c 15 years ago I didnt even have to do a parallel, just drove around a few blocks and parked it and that was it.
