Had I not left adequate space for the car in front of me, I would have been stuck in a potentially life threatening situation like most of the poor bastards behind me.
So take this tale as a reminder to leave enough space in front of you so you can go around a car stopped in front of you to escape Gangbanger Road.
Goons of the State have no obligation to help you.
You're responsible for your own safety.
If it looks like shit's gettin' weird, peace the fuck outta there.
