Default Lucky day

I guess its a lucky day for me because as I was driving in town coming back from the va a yellow mercedes pulls out in front of me on a 4 lane rd. So I move over in the left lane and keep going. About 2 blocks up I'm sitting at a red light top is down ZZtop playing tunes and the guy in the truck next to me says I could not think of a better way to spend a friday afternoon. Just then we hear a loud bang and his truck moved. Guess what hit him in the rear, Yep, The yellow mercedes. If I would have moved back into the right lane the yellow car would have hit a 2017 vert.

I am guessing the yellow Mercedes took the brunt of that hit...

But don't be too harsh on the yellow Mercedes driver. I am sure he/she was sending a VERY important text...

You do know it was your fault! The driver was mesmerized by your car, lost focus and forgot to pay attention to the road
