Well I missed 2 downshifts forgot to split and clutch late signal forgot to do a "s" cut in early, oh and drove in parking lane, yeah it was not good, but I pulled it off. But all the other corners and shifts I did well. So 1 out of 100 ain't bad, aain't good thpugh but whatever.

Sounds like your doing better then most of the guys Ive seen drive when I took my course. Funny thing is snow, when ou get a job trucking, most guys will tell you to forget every damn thing you just learned!

Ryan, sounds like you`re doing fine. Like anything else it takes time and practice. I enjoyed the few years I drove semi so much I didn`t have time to worry.
I don`t think I would like it as much now.

Despite my next line I did Very good today, drove the toughest of the tough and achieved duccess.
However almost re-arraingend a guy rear end, I was going straight south on Faithful at the 51st street intersection and this idiot turned in front of me, lost my shift, braked hard, my instructor gave him the finger.

It was a very bad cut I'm talking 4-6 feet. Kinda funny when I slammed on the brakes I also hit the foot feed, so with a mighty rev. I imagine I scared the Cavalier.
One day I hope I get to take out a Smart car, then I can yell, "Now, whoes smart, B****" It'll be great.
