  1. On my way back to the
    television station, I spotted the big
    truck. I could tell right away that
    he was in trouble. From above, I
    could easily see that he didn’t have
    enough room to back up and turn
    into the delivery area without hitting
    that guy’s Cadillac.

Several people wrote reports about a minor traffic accident but forgot to sign
them. Read each traffic report from a different person’s point of view. Use the
names to figure out how to sign the reports. Then on another paper, write the
report from the point of view of the one remaining character.

Here’s how I see it. Just make a mental picture as
you read what the character is saying and then
you’ll know the answer.

witness in the restaurant—L. Simmons helicopter pilot—H. Petty
witness on the sidewalk—D. Hopkins car owner—A. Foster


  1. That guy was trying to
    deliver tortillas to Peso’s Place.
    Man, he was backing up so fast
    that he didn’t bother to look to
    the right. I know because I
    was standing there watching
    him as he did it. Good thing I
    was able to jump out of the
    way before he hit the car.

  1. I just got back to my car after
    eating tacos at Peso’s Place. I
    hadn’t even started the car when a
    big semi-truck pulled up next to
    me and started backing up. Next
    thing I knew—bam! That big rig
    clipped the rear and ripped my
    new fender clean off. Boy, am I
    steamed!
