Just got the ok that I'm going to be a full time driver

I got the ok that I'm going full time and I was wondering if any one has an easier to remember the 10 points commentary check list and the 5 seeing habits

10 points correspond to the numbers 1-10
1 car length
2 lefts left right left
3 count to three
4 -6 seconds following
5 -8 mirrors
6 (s)can steering wheel.....6 and 7 both start with s like the number
7 (s)tale green
8-12 seconds eye lead
9 o'clock is your left shoulder look over it
10 eye contact with people in your path

Turn it into a song.

To the tune of "I'm going to be a recon ranger...".

Whatever works for him will suffice.

My helper from this past Peak was trying to qualify. He had the DIAD down cold---it was the driving part, especially in reverse, that he struggled with.

It is my sincerest hope that everyone that starts a thread, "I am going to driving school" flunks out.

Exactly what I did! Very good advice.

18 years driving and I still don't know the stuff. I just keep getting told to learn it. And when they tell me that if I don't learn it I am going to get a warning letter I tell them to pay me extra time to come in and learn it. I'm not doing it on my clock.
