Accident On Scale

Thanks to everyone for the positive comments and feedback.

Hang in there New School. Most incidents with new drivers happen in parking lots. You just have to watch those mirrors, move very slowly, and get out and look when you're backing into places.

And in case safety wants to speak with you about this, make sure you're very humble and apologetic. They expect new drivers to make some small mistakes but most importantly they expect you to care deeply about being a safe driver and learn from everything you do. If you take the approach, "Oh what's the big deal? I bumped a curb" or you start making excuses it's going to look really bad. They're going to think you're not safety conscious enough to become a true professional out there.

So make sure you let them know you feel terrible about it, you've definitely learned from it, and you're going to do everything in your power to make sure it never happens again. It seems to me like you are taking it seriously and that's great. You should. No one wants to make a mistake but if you approach it with the right attitude you'll learn from it and you'll be a better driver because of it.

Take your time out there. Watch your mirrors at all times and get out and look when you're backing up.

Hey.. u blew a tire and ruined a Rim by actually hitting something. I blew a tire and bent a rim on some Phantom object while backing into a customer. Everyone here and at prime was like HOW? Still don't know. At least you have the excuse "I'm new and the scale seems narrow and I'm learning"

I was in a position to back into a door at the customer when POP. Nothing was there for me to hit or run over. Everyone was like "that just doesn't happen."

My point is that even when you are careful and going slow things out here happen. Learn from the things that are your fault and stay calm always. ;)
