A short driving story. Yesterday I’m headed west on E. Baltimore Street in Greencastle. Intending to turn left at Ridge, I turned on my blinker. As the intersection neared I slowed, eventually coming to a stop as I yielded to opposing traffic. Then I heard a screech behind me. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw the car behind me skewed at a weird angle. It was clear what had happened; the woman driving hadn’t seen me slow down and locked up her brakes trying to avoid rear-ending me. I went on about my business but when I reached my destination, I thought: hmmm, do I have a turn signal out? Is that why she didn’t realize I was slowing down?
So I checked all the lights. They all worked. Nope, that lady just wasn’t paying attention. I’m glad she didn’t hit me and I hope she doesn’t hit someone else.
