MTTS 11 - bad weather and a near miss
Todays drive was recommended to travel Ohio River Byway 52 - more interesting than the highway. But long and with few passing places, and little chance to see the river …
Unfortunately, the weather deteriorated as we approached Charleston …
And suddenly a bad driver travelling with no lights and hassling us too closely, loses control and spirals towards Georges GP in front of me - thankfully he spotted her and braked, avoiding most of the impact, suffering just a split in the front bumper!
So everyone’s fine, but we were very glad to reach the hotel tonight!

So glad to hear that you are safe and that the damage was not worse. We ran that same by-way at night while on One Lap — it was one of the few route decisions we also regretted.
