Dove) Correction Due to a reporter's error, it was incorrectly reported in the Police Reports in the November 6 issue of The Dallas Post that Michael Bailey, of Ferguson Avenue, Shavertown, was cited for illegal passing and Thomas Brennan, of Country Club Road, was cited for careless driv- ing after an accident on November 3 on Mount Olivet Road. Neither driver was cited at the accident which occurred on No- vember 2, in which both cars were driven away. Bailey had been driving east on Mount Qlivet. Road, followed by Brennan, at about 8:45 p.m. Bailey told police that he activated his right turn signal, intending to make a turn onto Manor Drive, but changed his mind and decided to turn left onto Krispin Road and changed his signal for a left hand turn. When Bailey made the turn, his car collided with Brennan's, who had attempted to pass. 1a T \ VIN T.
