I know drivers who’ve had operational incidents within months of driving. I also know drivers who’ve driven for 30 odd years who’ve had no recordable incidents then have 2 or 3 on the bounce.
It’s how the cards are stacked on the day, and how your brain responds to recognising the risk. 99% of the time every driver sees the risk coming, however every now and again......
Much better drivers than myself have had incidents. Believe in your ability, keep on top of your rules, revise out of course incidents and never ever ever think you’re better than others in the grade. I’ve heard a couple of PQs state they cannot fathom how someone made a mistake....... Those words will come back to haunt them IMO.
it’s a good job, but treat it with respect. Passing the assessments and getting your key is just the beginning of it.
