I had a buddy who used too drive backwards from my house too his. It was only 1/2 mile away but people would give him the WTF looks
I most always backed in all my life.
Started with driving a muscle car in the 70’s. Ya always made better entrance with that engine loping,slowly backing into your spot.
Now, in the oil field, living on a rig site, you may need to make a fast getaway an aint non o us gots time for a boy backing out if shit hit the fan.

Growing up on the farm and working on my dad construction crews I learned at a young age. Guess it’s just habit now backing up. I will say my truck has a back up camera and as much as I said I wouldn’t use it, I’ve found myself using it more and more and not watching my mirrors as much. I do love the camera for hooking up trailers. Curious how many of you guys have become reliant on the camera and neglect the mirrors?
Hooking up a trailer has become easier with the camera. If I’m in a position where I had too pull into a spot and have too back out (usually it’s the wife’s SUV) the camera on hers has a wide angle and you can literally see a car coming from either direction a couple of spots away. It’s a nicety, especially as I get older….
Only use the camera to check but back up with mirrors, but the camera is awesome for hooking up trailers.

Another thread to ask who can back a trailer? That way we can flush out the liars and make fun of them. 
No cameras on any of my trucks so mirrors it is.

Well, Phil. First of all. You have to have a truck made in the last 5-7 yearsAnother thread to ask who can back a trailer? That way we can flush out the liars and make fun of them.

J would know this road but the rest of you won't. Back in the day 2 cars drag raced in reverse on RT 165 from East Lewistown to North Lima a distance of about 2 miles. 165 is relatively straight but narrow and hilly.
Not sure how fast they went but I know the one guy involved and he would gone balls to the wall.
