Another tour incident
By Christina Bush

We have enough tour vehicles on the road during the tour season, it seems to me that the popular land and sea tour bus/boat is a bit much considering drivers have proved difficulty seeing around their own vehicle. I have personally witnessed this specific tour bus/boat make mulitple close calls with parked cars and pedestrians in cross walks.
I have decided to post this letter because of a recent incident where a bus/boat bumped or cliped a child riding a bike causing minor injury.

This aggravates me because the driver nor the business was sited for this. I hold my breath everytime I am near these vehicles in motion.

My question is, why wasn't he/she (driver/business) sited?
