If one of the cars hits you, it's his fault. You would be, however just as injured or just as dead. The best approach, therefore, is to wait until the traffic is clear in both directions before proceding. If you've done that and still get stuck in the middle, then what you did is exactly the right thing to do -- stop to make sure they're going to stop before proceding.<BR/><BR/>Use tape to fasten that cover in place. The best tape is plastic duct tape. Packing tape (the type that's fiber reiforced) is OK. You probably don't have any of that, so use masking tape. If you cant find any of that, use Scotch tape until you can buy some duct tape. <BR/><BR/>You can get plastic duct tape or fiber-reinforced packing tape at any hardware store and at a lot of drug stores, too. Even the Dollar Tree has it.<BR/><BR/>Use one strip along the edge that is supposed to be hinged and use one piece at a right-angle to the opposite edge. Be sure to fold over 1/2" of the end of the second piece to make a pull tab that will make it easy to loosen the tape when you need to open the cover.Poorhouse Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02393746026136007596noreply@blogger.com
