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:

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:

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.
