WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED FOR THE DAY OR WHEN SITTING FOR 8 PLUS HOURS THE FIRST FEW SHIFTS ARE DELAYED. LEAVING FROM HOME IS NOT AS BIG OF A DEAL, AS WHEN I LEAVE FROM WORK.

EXPECTING THE VEHICLE TO MOVE WITHOUT DELAY TRYING TO CROSS TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY CROSS TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF THE DELAY.
