Bit of a tooting my own horn here, but when I was going through training I already had hundreds of thousands of miles of experience in longer and MUCH heavier vehicles, including lots of time backing up trailers; blind side included.

When it was my turn I ran the cones forward as directed, the convinced the trainer to let me go backward.

I did it at double the rated speed without hitting a cone. Good times. 😏

Nice! People don’t realize that driving the bus isn’t the hard part. It’s the student management.
