I almost rear-ended someone today. Usually, I try to see through the windshields of the car ahead of me to see what the car in front of them is doing, but I couldn't do that this time, for their windows were heavily tinted.
So, its heavy traffic, everyone's slowing down to stop at a red light, I'm in the left lane, when the car in front of me suddenly slams on brakes (it was already applying its brakes to stop for the red light, so I couldn't initially tell it had started slowing down much faster) and swerves to the left, to avoid hitting the car in front, and stops halfway into the median. Because of the angle of the car's rear bumper, I cannot make the same maneuver without hitting it, so I hit my brakes, spot the tiny space between two cars in the right lane that have already stopped (both driven by males, which is always a plus in these situations), swerve to the right, into the right lane, stopping a couple inches short of hitting the car in front of me, and fitting quite nicely in between the two cars in the right lane.
The vehicles behind me had to do the same thing, and mostly ended up in a nice zig-zag pattern, due to the maneuvers they had to take to avoid hitting the cars in front.
I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.
