Hi Kaid, we are planning to do this course in January other than reducing the number of pedestrians did you find that it has improved your practical skills particularly the reversing bit ?

A few pedestrians out the way, it's all easy going now, can't hit 'em anymore.

Keep Safe on the roads and out there. ( if you are a pedestrian behind Kaid, that is biggrin )

Yep Belmont Bear . Seeing as I had no skills to begin with. Anything was only an improvement

biggrin biggrin biggrin . Reversing in a straight line I found the hardest.

Had to turn Your Parker on then look for the last light on the van.

Right side was great. Left side was a lot harder. I found that in the end I was going cross eyed.

Funnily enough the Instructor said that I was a Natural at reversing into the site.

Dave said great, that is your job from now on. Lol.

All in all a great Course to do

I have towed for many years. From box trailers to boat trailers to horse floats. When we got our first van which was nearly 3 ton, and some 22 ft. after a couple of small trips, I heard of Tow Ed. Was very pleased I did the course. While I may not have picked up too many tips, I was thankful for those that I did pick up as well as for the workbook and DVD. Can (and have) referred to them when I feel I need too. Even our horse towing daughter did the course. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

So Kath, can we expect a domestic every morning from now on over whose turn it is to drive the new rig? biggrin biggrin biggrin

Cheers, Joe

And that would be a different domestic to the domestic we have all the time Joe wink wink wink wink wink wink wink

Nah, just kidding. Will be doing some more practice before I do it in front of an audience

Thanks Kath (& Peter), sounds like the course is well worth the money so we will look forward to doing it - I hope that Maitland Showground has insurance.

Most drive 5 to 10k to learn how to park .. Lol it spoils the entertainment though !!
