Close call

For an agonisingly long second I thought that I was going to be the witness of a major accident on Meath Street. 
But thankfully Bridget's shopping trolley is a recent all-bells-and-whistles deluxe model, equipped with FCW (Forward Collision Warning). Unfortunately, her hearing aid is not quite as modern or technologically advanced (her great Aunty Sheilagh had left it to her in her will, but the batteries went to Cousin Margaret...) Less unfortunately, the incoming Purple Maureen heard the strident call of the FCW 5 meters before impact and thanks to the ABS fitted on her Pronto Walker - Rally edition, she was able to steer out of the collision path while rapidly decelerating.
