Soulful Planet Forums: Safety Tips

   When I was 16, my wonderful cousin Gene Leone taught me how to drive.  He made  me drive all over the empty parking lot of our high school ... BACKWARDS!!  I wasn't allowed to turn around so I was forced to learn to drive in reverse only using my mirrors.  It was the best experience in learning to drive.  I had to practice until I was an expert at driving frontwards and backwards. 

Do you remember, Cuz?

Here is a video I just found so anyone can set those handy mirrors just right for whatever you need to see on the road:

	DONNA!!! LoL I sooooo remember doing this, yes! Too funny, later on, I drove Jess crazy with this too when She was learning to drive. Personally, knowing how to do this well has helped me many times in crazy situations like deep snow or backing up big trucks in tight spots or driveways. Thanks for remembering this little tid bit! ~LoveYa, Gene
