My opinion...more fatalities occur due to "Driver Error" than anything else. Driver Error gives wide latitude in interpretation. :lol2::lol2::lol2::lol2: Seriuosly though.... I hope you understand why I maintain the position on training that I do. :thumbsup:

I do understand your position and respect it a great deal, Stan.:bow: Also thanks for that right on advice, Ridge Runner. :thumbsup: I hope that sticks in my head! I am normally a patient driver but I haven't been rolling for miles yet.

That's what this board is all about. We all learn from each other. My eyes have been opened to a lot of new ideas. Even tho sometimes the debate gets heated, in the end we are all adults ( well most of us ) and see past or own thoughts on the subject. My eyes were sure opened on this one. :clap:

Big D has retreated to his corner to lick his wounds (nuts). In the spirit of good sportsmanship, I figured I'd throw him a bone . .

I have to agree with YT on this one because there are far more "over one year" drivers out there than newbies. I do want to caution the new drivers that around 3 to 6 months after going solo to really watch out. That is the time that you start to think that you really have things under control. That is when "Murphy" will jump up and bite you on the ass. When that happens to you then you realize that this is a JOB and you better be paying attention.
I've been there and done that. It was a near miss thank god, but I learned my lesson.  Ridge, great post. In that 3 to 6 month range you start to get really comfortable. You have to remind yourself to not get too complacent. The last couple months have been a little rough with me regarding backing. I got really comfortable and didn't take the necessary precautions before I started some backing maneuvers because I thought I was the man. GOAL is the name of the game. When you get too tired take a 15 minute nap. I just finished my first year and I constantly have to remember to keep alert.
