Streaming - which provider?

Have YouTube TV and ESPN Plus. Neither letting me stream though the Espn app. Says "This channel is not part of your TV package"

Going forward, I have to pull out almost to the point that my body is at the end of their vehicle to be able to see around them, exposing the entire hood of my car. There is no argument you can make that exposing any part of the car without being able to adequately see oncoming vehicles is safer than not having to expose it at all and see those potential vehicles.

Pretty sure the bed of a truck, if backing out, will stick out a lot further than the hood of your car pulling forward.

Ive been doing it multiple times a day almost every day since I was old enough to drive. I am right and you are wrong. Its because of where the center of the turning arc is relative to the parking space and the maneuvering space - that is different depending on what end of the vehicle the steer axle is on. Its just usually not necessary with a car because the turning radius is so much tighter than a long 4x4 truck.

Im not expending any more effort explaining this to you. You're wrong, and supremely confident you aren't, so you wont be convinced.

AI has your back.

"Backing out of a parking spot in a truck typically requires a larger, more complex turning radius than pulling out forward because the steering wheels (front) are usually past the adjacent vehicles before the truck can pivot, often requiring a wider arc to avoid rear-end swing. Conversely, backing into a spot is superior, offering better visibility, tighter maneuvering, and an easier, more direct exit.

Key Differences in Maneuvering:
Backing Out (Forward to Exit): Because the rear wheels are the pivot point when turning while reversing, the front of the truck swings wide. To avoid hitting neighboring cars with the rear bumper, the driver must back straight out until the front wheels clear the adjacent vehicles, requiring more longitudinal space in the aisle.

Pulling Out (Forward to Exit): The front wheels steer the vehicle, allowing for a sharper angle immediately. However, for long-bed or dual-rear-wheel trucks, the rear of the truck may still swing into adjacent spots."

I also prefer to back in because all of my cameras activate and its easier to get straight. Also easier/safer to pull straight out.

it’s easier to get out of a spot when you’re backed in rather than backing out.

quote:
No it's not. Every time you park you're pulling in forward one time and backward one time. The difference is if you pull in the spot forward you're going to be backing out into a wider and longer area (the row). If you back into the spot, you're backing into a much tighter spot that is also much shorter with lines you need to end up between.

I'd welcome anyone to do a test and see who can get into and out of a spot easier and more quickly. I pull in forward, you back in (cuz truck!) and we'll see who wastes less time and parks better. We can do it at Sonic.

You quoted him about pulling out when backed in but are arguing about pulling in.

Also, not sure how you can argue that its easier to back out than pull straight forward when exiting a spot.

For soft impacts, yes. Hitch will actually increase the likelihood of frame damage.

It seems like on the applications that it is only the 7c categories or the 8d category that require additional experience? Can anyone verify this?

Where are you finding the requirements? I had looked into mosquito control a while back, which I believe is 8a, and that required prior experience.
