Default After driving a semi, have trouble driving my own car!!

1. Put transmission in 1st gear expecting to go backwards

2. Wanting to reach over and pull parking and trailer brake knobs when i park

3. Keep trying to put keys in on left side of steering wheel

4. Keep reaching over my head trying to turn on dome light

5. Slowing down trying to measure a light change

6. Suddenly pausing when i see "no truck" signs

7. Seems like you are sitting on the road when you are driving

No worries, ohiomohawk, the longer you are out, the wierder your POV seems. Itll get easier over time.

You ever bump the top of your head when you get out of your car? :P Hate it when that happens.
