I can't believe this wouldn't be taught. Break down speed while covering the brake. Looking for possible hazards and keeping my eyes and head moving. I learned the second day of driving in traffic that people will walk right in front of your bus! I had a guy just wonder out and then stand there in the street. whackergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11391498729537948415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653698584448495601.post-5177463744508975282017-01-09T01:26:29.509-08:002017-01-09T01:26:29.509-08:00Recently discovered that our trainers are NOT teac...Recently discovered that our trainers are NOT teaching noobs to cover the brake anymore. I was blown away. Nor are they being taught to finesse the peddles. I don't understand the rationale behind this. But, like you say, got to choose your battles.HRSRampantLionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166856256066000466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653698584448495601.post-19398780726178610722017-01-02T22:25:37.011-08:002017-01-02T22:25:37.011-08:00However, isn't our responsibility to give test...However, isn't our responsibility to give testimony as a witness?

So that when a car rolls over in front of you a year or so later, you already have a decision tree to work through. 1-I'm not involved, 2-nobody appears to be injured, 3-I am not blocked, 4-I don't want to be blocked. Just like that. Light turns green, I cross the intersection past the multi vehicle accident as the police come up the street the wrong way to respond. "Central, there is a multi-vehicle 518 at Sutter and Stockton, the inbound 30 probably will be blocked, PD on the scene, no obvious injuries, I am continuing in service."trolleypuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04855202635681633888noreply@blogger.com
