This has been my complaint for a long time about Branson. No one looks back before they back out of a parking place.
I have started to wonder if it is a state law that says "You are NOT allowed to look back". If any of you have meet me, I am a big guy and I am hard to OVERLOOK.
Several times I have had cars back into me in parking lots. And YES, I watch closely but when someone throws the car in reverse and floors it, I can not move that fast. About 4 years ago, me and girlfriend and all 4 kids were walking thru the IMAX theater parking lot and a grandpa put the car in reverse and started to back over the 4 year old. I yanked him out of the way before he was killed but it left me in the way. At this point in time, he had already backed into me and was pushing me back hard. I put a dent in his trunk with my fist and he finally heard me. He was surprised when he looked in the mirror. HE NEVER LOOKED BACK until I put my fist into his trunk. I cussed him out and called him several names. Once I moved, he got gone. I was so mad, I didn't get a licence plate.
Since then, this has happened at most the malls, and at a lot of shows. I don't know what is going on. I have to say, most of the people that have done this are over 60. I guess they think YOU SHOULD MOVE.
I have started to suspect that someone from another forum put a HIT on me in Branson. I am waiting for them to give me an offer I can't refuse.
This actually is just a warning. I think people get distracted because of the traffic and other things that are outside their comfort zone and forget proper driving rules but I don't want you or your children to be ran over or hurt so be carefull.
