Absolutely... just saw a person back into an other car and just drove away 5 minutes ago ....

JaJa......makes me wish that everyone had to take a driving test with an 18 wheeler with a 40' trailer and back it into a loading dock with a 2' clearance on either side.  That would thin the herd.

Yup!
Or back an ambulance or a fire truck through a lenghthy serpentine cone pattern in reverse.

Speaking of driver training.... I love to watch the driver of those double long Corona tractor trailers trying to back into the Corona warehouse just east of SuperLake....

I have trouble backing my boat trailer up when summering in Ontario.

And then they (some US politicians) say Mexican teamsters aren't qualified to drive in the US.
Due to mountains, old roads and streets, and a myriad of other obstacles, Mexican truck drivers are some of the best in the world.  And I do KNOW how to judge drivers.

And.....Guess where the Cascadia, the queen of the Freightliner fleet is built.  Yup, Mexico, along with others.  Note how rare it is to ever see a Mercedes truck in the USA.  Why?  Here is the answer:

“Freightliner Trucks is a Daimler Trucks North America brand with production locations in the United States and Mexico. The Freightliner Cascadia Evolution is the flagship in the long-distance haulage segment. In 2009 the Saltillo Truck Manufacturing Plant was founded and produces Freightliner Cascadia Class 8 Trucks.“

Mexican KW's and DINA's are fine machines also.
