Not convinced. If you want to know how to do something, you don't learn to do something else. On another note, it's nice to see there's a group of road users out there who have worse anger management and sense of humour issues than lorry drivers. It's also nice to see Firth making some new friends. I was beginning to get worried about the poor chap. ;-)

What else do I need to know? Someone recently made the following remark: "I mock those people who poke fun from the sidelines instead of making the effort" ... to learn a bit more about other traffic, obviously. If you really want to be the best road car driver you can be then it is only logical to strive for a deeper awareness of the road environment. As this environment includes various vehicle types other than domestic tin boxes, it makes sense to learn about, or better yet, experience, their particular strengths and weaknesses. -- -Pip |
