Yes thank u guys for all the comments, monday im staring with Western exp,i told them my situation they're ok

That's really good news Simo. Are they going to have you go out for a couple of weeks with a trainer or right to solo? I kinda hope they do train you a bit more,...sounds like you could benefit from that extra time. Good luck to you and be safe out there.

I would make a list 9f the things I need to learn and work on them wo th the new trainer. If you are trying to avoid cars.... are you driving too fast? Too closely? Are you not looking in your mirrors to predict upcoming hazards?

Look at your mirror and slow down thats all

Simo, remember to look in your mirror. Yes, you drive forward, but on local streets you are really driving your tandems , 60 feet behind you.

In fact, on corners and other sharp turns, you need to look in your mirrors more than you look ahead!

Practice this: at home, get the broom or a kitchen mop. Hold the top end of the handle next to your waist, let the broom/ mop end drag behind.

Now, walk around the house, but don't hit or scrape anything with the broom or its handle!

Yes, you will be thinking about what's behind you more than what's on front. Pay attention to where you walk - big wide turns around the table, careful not to walk into the wall when you turn down the hallway.

Walk like that as much as you can before Monday. It will put you on the best frame of mind for driving a truck.

Best of luck, Simo.
