{"replyTo":"","text":"How long is your class going to be? Don’t worry about down shifting you’ll get it, just pay attention to what the instructors are showing you, and ask lots of questions. Hopefully your class is long so that you can get plenty of time to practice. You’ll never stop learning new tips and tricks even after you get out on your own. You have to have LOTS of patients! sometimes Watch other Good drivers on how they’re doing things. ","replyToPid":0}

","text":"It's like an old timer said, 'I'm still learning something new everyday'. You'll never stop learning on the road. Take your time in lots. Back slow, pull out slow, it ain't a race to get in the lots or out of them. I would cringe when I would sit at a Pilot in WI and guys would fly in and around the building just to fuel up. Takes a sec to kill someone.","replyToPid":462098}
