The silver Lexus in front of me drifted to the right. The
driver snapped it back to center. This repeated a couple of times. I doubled my
following distance.
A stoplight halted us but, when the light turned green, the
car did not move out immediately. A polite beep beep on my horn got the driver
going. I moved to the right lane and gradually overtook the car.
Looking over as I passed, I saw the driver’s head down with
a phone in one hand. Remembering her previous drift to the right, I accelerated
ahead. Needing to make a left turn ahead, I moved back to the left lane.
Down the road I noticed the silver Lexus in my rear-view
mirror while waiting for another red light. The driver’s head was tipped down
as if her attention was on a phone again. On green, I pulled away from the
stoplight and put distance between the Lexus and me.
I chuckled at the sight in my rear-view mirror. The Lexus
had suffered damage across the entire front end. It looked as if the car had
rear-ended another car. I had seen proof that you can’t fix stupid.
