close call
Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2009 3:35 pm
We were returning to the parking area after the parade and show yesterday, and as usual while going through intersections we had gotten spread out a little with cars in between. It is a left turn into the parking area, and the lead driver gave a hand signal for a left turn, then pulled his hand back to have both hands on the wheel of the old Allis and began his turn when the 2nd car behind him decided to pass the first car and the Allis. Rather than stopping when he saw what was happening, the passing driver was in such a hurry that he drove into the parking lot across the road (where we were heading), and back out onto the street ahead of everyone. Thank goodness no one was hurt, but it was close.
