    What the guy who taught me how to drive a truck said to me:

    It is easy to drive a truck, but it is very hard to know what to do when there is a problem .... meaning how to avoid getting killed.

    He also said most driver suck because they don't give a crap about anyone else but themselves


    This comes from a guy who started to drive a truck in 1948 and retired from it in 1989.

    That's simple SLOW DOWN BEFORE sharp turns and downgrades! It's easy to get kocky (overconfident) and be too fast to live and too young to die.

    Drive defensively and conservatively. Speed kills.

    I can't post "kocky" spelled with a C in the beginning of the word here otherwise the (male chicken part, or male body part??) of the word gets censored.
