    The camera's like a convex mirror, objects are closer than they appear. How we didn't swap some paint is beyond me. Gotta give the dummy some credit though I guess.

    Kind of goes back to, "should have been paying attention" and he would have had time to react to his lane slowing to a stop and not being so reckless. My opinion!
