dare I even mention the stress of having to practice near LA in California with a 53ft trailer? Now you have to try and shift an 18 speed and use a range selector and get used to double clutching to N first shifting. The reality is that you spend more time "guessing" where you are at and what is around you (since your visibility is fairly limited), which is nerve-wracking already. I guess in terms of driving itself and difficulty, I want to say it is easy but that is only because I've been doing it for 6 years. I still find it difficult 6 years in, because the industry is changing all the time due to the demand of the FMCSA and DOT of all the states you pass through. You don't really start getting relaxed after about your 1st year of driving. They pay for your $10,000 school cost if you work for them for a year but they expedite the training/school. The mistake I made that made learning 10x harder than it needed to be was going to a company sponsored training course. Of course, that is why I went to school for my CDL.
i avoid driving in white rain it i can.Īnd GPS has made me bad with remembering the routes. So i often do not stay in the exact middle of the road (again, it uses to be a failure point in the test).Īnother one: i go blind when it rains. I am getting tired of driving, specially because I normally drive an extremely broken car. 2 sec rule in normal and 4 sec rule in wet conditions. Which also means, the formula does not work in US if I were to parallel park on the left 🤣🤣🤣Īlso, I have never been sandwiched in a pile up or even between 2 cars because I know how you manage that and its simple and 90% moron drivers on the roads do not. 99% perfection means you failed the test.
I come from a place where they show you a formula and then test you on that. I can parallel park between two cars (on the right as this is America) in one shot without the trial and error. First, I can drive stick shift with no problem.
