I should have given more credit to the attendant. They generally are pretty good. They are dealing with the same people as we are, just lots more of them.
I guess just some people have problems. I would never "almost" get sideswiped coming out of a gate, because I have a gas pedal, a brake, a steering wheel and adjust as needed. I see that a lot on here though, and I am always amused how many people almost died, or were almost killed from vehicles when avoiding an accident. Seems more theatrical, why weren't they "almost had a bruise on their arm" if they would have been in an accident?
